A sex toy mishap leads to a night in the emergency room, where a freshly broken-up couple are forced to confront their issues on love and relationships.
A funny and emotionally honest short film, "Stuck" takes a raunchy, potentially gimmicky premise, and expands the joke into something deeper—building to a place that is surprisingly earnest and heartfelt.

"I’m a sucker for a funny, dialogue-driven, relationship movie. Combine that with a plot driven by a sex toy blunder and…oh my gosh, Corey Shurge…stop looking through my Google search history!
Considering how often they are cast aside in a derisive fashion, rom-coms get a bad rep. After all, being in a relationship is a nearly universal experience, so films that attempt to capture that, with clever banter and jokes, deserve to be much more than cinematic punching bags. Stuck takes a blue, potentially gimmicky premise, and expands the joke into something deeper, building to a place that is surprisingly earnest and heartfelt.
Now, admittedly, that earnestness might be a turnoff to some, especially as the film flirts with saccharine in its final half. But, in a world driven by snark, I found the film’s turn to be surprisingly sweet. The transition from butt play to sincerity is patiently executed—driven by two very solid performances from its stars, Kristopher Turner and Ruth Goodwin. As a two-hander (the film thankfully avoids the low-hanging comedic fruit of them explaining the situation to an incredulous nurse or doctor), it’s dependent on the chemistry between the performers, which is quite strong here. Turner and Goodwin are playful and dramatic in equal measure. The banter between them is witty and self-aware, but never feels too “written.” Moreover, the opening scene is the perfect example of a short film establishing “buy in” early. Obviously, there’s the sex (an immediate, lizard-brain hook), but the dialogue and chemistry between actors engages immediately." - S/W Curator, Ivan Kander

Pornography is deeply damaging to the human psyche, it's deeply damaging to men, it creates unrealistic expectations.
If you have a son and he's 13 and you know he's gonna be exposed to porn, you almost have a responsibility to talk them through it and just give him some to do some
understanding. Here are the best nofap tips from the legends such as Joe Rogan, Jordan Peterson and Terry crews that you should know:
1. Jordan Peterson NoFap Advice: Damage to Emotions
Masturbation makes you feel weaker, makes you feel sad, makes you feel ashamed of yourself. You are like losing your esteem, losing your manhood.
2. Damage to Relationships
Porn leads you to being unfaithful.
3. Joe Rogan NoFap Advice: Desensitization
People don't like to admit that they enjoy porn that vast, well you're not living your life the way you want to so you need a vision of life that's more compelling than the porn and you need a counter vision too that frightens you.
4. Long-Term Consequences
Porn is obviously extraordinarily gratifying in the short term but you seem to be suffering from the medium to long term. Pornography is addictive. It hits the same pleasure centers in your brain as drugs do.
5. Nofap Transformation Effect on Actors
A lot of women thinks that in order for them to be loved by a man, they have to act the way that men are expecting them to act via pornography.
6. Objectification of Woman
It offers immediate gratification but no medium to long-term development of character or life.
7. Temporary Numbing Of The Pain
You have just had this little quick release where you feel good and then back in pain. The pleasure was just getting rid of pain.
8. Terry Crews's Nofap Problem: Lack of Intimacy
It just takes out the intimacy. You are just thinking of yourself, a selfish lover.
9. Descent To Hell
The most common interest among serial killers is pornography.
