Looks like a really sweet film. But what kind of doctor prescribes sex therapy?

Apparently the term is "Sexual Surrogate." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_surrogate) Huh. Well, um... I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this new information.

Well a sex therapist would prescribe sex therapy

Also where can I get me a sexual surrogate right quick people

I think the layman's term is, prostitute

I'm actually trying to figure out how these people are different than prostitutes.

Safety? Independence?

Well the little bit on Wikipedia about states the use of a sexual surrogate is incredibly rare and probably doesn't focus on full on intercourse. Also it's presumably being overseen by a certified therapist.

So I have the feeling this movie was written by somebody exaggerating what a sexual surrogate is to get a movie out of it.
