Magnus Sullivan to Talk Masturbation at 'Mystery Box' Event in June

PORTLAND, Ore. — Magnus Sullivan will discuss the stigma of male masturbation during his presentation for the storytelling series, "Mystery Box Show," at the Alberta Rose Theatre in Portland. 

The event, which will include other authors, will feature Sullivan reading passages of his book “Better Than the Hand.” In the book, Sullivan discusses how a better understanding of self-pleasure can also be a path to personal growth and empathy for others — traits that Sullivan claims are “increasingly unrealized among more and more straight men.” He then contrasts society’s widespread acceptance for female masturbation versus its equally wide shame of the same activity by men. 

“For too long masturbation has been in the shadows and marginalized and thankfully today we’re slowly moving away from that with a better understanding of its role toward a healthy life and better sex,” Sullivan said. “This reading and discussion that follows it will give attendees a better rounded view of masturbation and how it improves sex, our relationship with our partners and our overall wellness.”

The event will be held on June 10 at 7 p.m. The Alberta Rose Theatre is located at 3000 NE Alberta St., Portland, Ore., 97211. For more information, visit MysteryBoxShow.com.
