Like others have said, this is a touching film about a man, who due to polio, basically lives most of his life in an iron lung. He gets a few hours outside of it per day. He wants to experience sex and so uses the services of a sexual surrogate. The sex is presented in such a mature and respectful way. As a woman and feminist, numbed by the gratuitous female nudity in so much of the drama of our culture, it was such a refreshing change to see a case where the female nudity was respectful and in no way gratuitous. Gives new meaning to the phrase "for adults only." The teenage boys of all ages who get off on the endless rapes and sexposition of Game of Thrones wouldn't find this entertaining. Good acting all round. William H Macy has a great part as a priest with a sense of humour.
