Sad Sex #8

Heather Benjamin

2011

4.25x5.5”

Number 8 in the Sad Sex series, in which wild naked women masturbate, reach for the viewer, and participate in intensly stylized sex acts. When asked about the Sad Sex series at the 2017 LAABF, Benjamin said, “Oh yeah, I made those when I was young and mad. I’m a bit less mad now.” The zine unfolds to reveal a message from one friend to another. . .
