Modern Masturbation Allegory

22-year-old Xinyi believed she developed a masturbation addiction, and claimed she was starting to feel some indescribable feelings. While struggling, she couldn’t help but constantly fall into the cycle of indulgence and suffering. In a world where everyone is ashamed of sexual satisfaction, she embarked on a journey of collecting masturbation stories alone to find someone similar…

This is a collection of masturbation stories of four girls in their early 20s, and also a modern allegory that reflects the mental state of contemporary young people. When, where, tools, fetishes, fantasies… Here, people tear away shame and taboos, revealing the most secret masturbation experience.

As the collection becomes more and more abundant, Xinyi finds that masturbation has gradually become a mirror, reflecting everyone’s true self.

Director Statement

I am LI Xinyi, a filmmaker and curator, focusing on topics such as sex, female, death, ecology and the relationship between the individual and the outside.

I am sensitive to “sight,” so I have always tried to achieve a relative balance in my works. It became the foundation for my creative journey, and ultimately, my style.

I love images, live life with dedication, and hope to eventually make a living through film.
