Rachel Dratch, Martha Plimpton Read Judy Blume Book About Masturbation

National Coalition Against Censorship

Watch as Rachel Dratch, Martha Plimpton (pictured with Judy Blume) and others perform a dramatic reading of Deenie, Blume’s young adult novel about masturbation. The actors pick up the story when the gym teacher leads a class discussion about menstruation and self-pleasure. Speaking of masturbation, nothing beats watching all the readers saying the word in unison while trying to keep a straight face (at the 2:49 mark).
