Why they keep calling it "the masturbation scene"??

When they told me that in the movie there was a scene where the girl masturbates with a crucifix, I thought: wow, that's pretty fucked up.

But when I saw the movie my impressions were different, she was not "enjoying herself", I thought the girl was moaning or something... but no. She was practically stabbing her vagina, with a lot of blood, in pain.

That's not how masturbation works!!!

I agree. It was more like an attack. I am not familiar firsthand with how girls do it, but that looked painful.

I've always know of it as the "crucifix scene".

I am listening to the audiobook right now. The book is really graphic and makes no mistake that it is a masturbation scene. The book is really quite good, and that scene in particular is very graphic.

But I am with you, the first time I watched, I never thought she was "pleasuring herself"
