Everything you know about sex is true.

Female masturbation is the subject of the final show in Brtiish broadcaster Channel 4's Wank Week.

Independent producer Spun Gold is developing a programme called Masturbation for Girls, featuring orgasm coach Dr Betty Dodson. The final format has yet to be decided.

Zig Zag is making Wank-a-Thon, a programme about the UK's first public masturbation event held last month in London. Channel 4 is also broadcasting a documentary about compulsive male masturbators.

British broadcaster Channel 4 is to bring mass public masturbation to the small screen.

They have commissioned a documentary about the UK's first "masturbate-a-thon" as part of a series of programmes dubbed "Wank week". Hundreds of people are expected to gather in a hall in central London on August 5 to pleasure themselves in aid of charity.

The organiser of the event, the San Francisco-based Centre for Sex and Culture, has run mass masturbation events in the US for the past five years to raise money for safe sex groups and plans to replicate the formula in the UK.

Cameras will follow the organisers and participants for a 60-minute film, which has the working title of Wank-a-thon. It is expected to air towards the end of the year.

Prizes will be on offer for those who clock up the most orgasms and those who can masturbate the longest - the current record, according to the organisers, is a chafing eight-and-a-half hours. To qualify for the record, the organisers say "at least 55 minutes of every hour shall be spent self-pleasuring by manual or sex toy stimulation" with participants getting just five minutes to "replenish and renew".

.Vivid Entertainment will sell its adult films through the online movie service CinemaNow, allowing buyers to burn DVDs that will play on any screen, not just a computer

It's another first for adult film companies that pioneered the home video market and rushed to the Internet when Hollywood studios still saw it as a threat. "Leave it to the porn industry once again to take the lead on this stuff," said Michael Greeson, founder of The Diffusion Group. "The rest of Hollywood stands back and watches and lets the pornography industry work out all the bugs."

Vivid says its downloads, which will cost $19.95, is using a proprietary system that it says will protect the adult movies by preventing the burned DVD from being copied to other discs.
