The scene: Titular character Fleabag is minding her own business masturbating in bed (as ya do)the catch is her boyfriend's asleep next to her and she's masturbating to Obama videos.

Her comments on the scene: "Ah yes, the masturbating-to-Obama bit! That was in the play. Originally, she was looking for something to distract herself from having a bad wank so she turns on the news and, well...I mean, it's Obama, can you blame her?"

The scene: Rooney's character gives herself her first ever orgasm thanks to masturbation. Because you really don't need another person to enjoy yourself, mmmkay?

Her comments on the scene: "When they said we'd be doing that scene, I thought 'Yeah I'll do that. Why not?' How many times have you seen a boy having a wank? All the time! It's all they talk about! I thought: 'Let's do it for the girls.'"

The scene: Marnie masturbates in a public bathroom while leaning against the door.

Her comments on it: "A scene like [that] just gets added to the pile and gets smushed in. It's been really interesting being interviewed and being asked about it so much, because I'm like, 'Oh, yeah, well there have been seven episodes since that scene.' I also feel like we are showing these very intimate, private and specific moments in our characters' lives and it just sort of is a part of Marnie's puzzle."

The scene: Lest you forget, Reign is a CW show. And CW shows don't typically show sex, let alone masturbation. But this scene features a royal bedding ceremony with witnessesone of whom is so turned on that she runs away to masturbate.

Her comments on it: "This is the thing: I don't care about being naked on screen. I don't care about masturbating on screen; I don't care about sex scenes on screen. The aftermath is fine; I don't care who sees it. It's the actual process of filming it that sucks. It's unsexy, it's incredibly technical, it's incredibly boring and also incredibly embarrassing. You're just like writhing around in front of a group of maybe 30 dudes because the set is primarily men... But the act of a woman actually taking care of herself in that way is incredibly powerful."

The scene: Gyllenhaal's character masturbates after sex thanks to not orgasming during the deed itself. Relatable!

Her comments on the scene, and why she *asked* for it to be included: "I thought here's all this performative sex, all this transactional sex. I wanted to know what her desire looks like. And after we filmed it, he was like, 'Okay. Okay. We're okay. We have made something feminist. We have.'"

The scene: Beth's roommate finds her masturbating in the bathtub with a shower head. Everything happens off screen, but the hijinks!

Her comments on it: None, because BFD.

The scene: Boo is seen getting off with the end of a screwdriver, because when in jail, you gotta make due.

Her comments on it: "I jumped up and down like a little girl. I was that excited. Because I knew it was going to be something that people will remember. And indeed, it is. The first take, I started laughing because I made the mistake of thinking about what I was doing. That's a huge mistake when actingyou shouldn't think about it. So, the first take was one of the first shots on our gag reel. It was me, starting to masturbate, and howling with laughter. It's just like, 'What am I doing? I'm getting paid to do this.' I can't tell you how many people have asked me to autograph their screwdrivers."

The scene: Glazer performs her "pre-masturbation ritual," which involves a mirror, candles, and a giant vibrator. Treat yourself.

Her comments on female sexuality on the show in general: "It's like these girls are horny but not under the male gaze. They're horny, period. Just starting from the vagina, not starting from some man looking at them."

The scene: Adams' very pregnant character masturbates in bed while looking at a photo of her husband.

Her comments on it: While talking about the most difficult scene to film in the movie, Adams said "It's a toss up between the masturbation and the hospital...it was such an intimate and vulnerable moment."

The scene: Allen is seen masturbating in the bathtub as the screen changes from black to color.

Her comments on it: None, because BFD.

The scene: Kate Walsh's character masturbates while sleep walking.

Her comments on it: "We actually shot all of those on the second day of shooting. [Director Courteney Cox] was great; she made me feel super safe."

The scene: Gyllenhaal's character fantasizes about her boss while masturbating.

Her comments on sex in the film: "I love the fact that people wanna talk about sex. I mean, I wanna talk about sex, too."

The scene: Rachel is masturbating to po*n with a vibrator in the back of a van.

Her comments on it: "The opening and closing scenes of episode 105 of UnREAL really sparked a conversation. Who knew a women pleasuring herself would be so newsworthy."

The scene: Watts' character masturbates on a bed, a moment that was so uncomfortable for the actress that director David Lynch had a tent made around her so she could be completely separated from the crew.

Her comments on it: "I was mad at him for making me do this! I remember saying, 'David, I can't do this!, I can't do this! and being mad at him...I did anger, I did crying, it was just wildly uncomfortable. The thing with David is he just keeps you going, you want to please him because he's after something really true and you don't want to give up."

The scene: Okay, so Portman's masturbation scene was kind of unrealistic (for most women, masturbating isn't a male's fantasy come to life, like it was depicted in this film)but it basically consists of her writhing around on her bed.

Her comments on it: "So disgusting. It was akin to the experience of watching the movie with my parents sitting next to me, let me tell you."

The scene: Keough's character, an escort, enjoys watching herself masturbate.

Her comments on it: "We wanted to show things that you don't really see, like the girl getting her period or the girl masturbating... You really feel like you're creeping in on this girl, so it's a bit uncomfortable. It's not like we're showing her masturbate just to have a masturbation scene. It's showing every part of this person and her private moments."
