Got a crush on your married colleague? Has masturbation become mundane? Looking for ways to make your beauty routine more efficient? 

It’s October 1990. Mr Bean is in, Margaret Thatcher is out, and Germaine Greer is shaking it all about in a long and highly convoluted essay on masturbation. Is it self-love or self-abuse? We’re not sure we’ve emerged any the wiser.
