May is National Masturbation Month, originally designated in 1995 after Surgeon General Dr. Joycelyn Elders was fired for suggesting masturbation be taught in sex education. San Francisco sex shop Good Vibrations declared that May be the month of masturbation in solidarity with self-stimulation. To celebrate, each zodiac sign is matched with a specific masturbation technique, with the help of adult filmmaker Erika Lust, who emphasizes inclusivity and the female gaze in her work.
