About
You can stream The Sessions (2012) on Apple TV+ with a subscription.
Though a childhood bout with polio left him dependent on an iron lung, Mark O'Brien maintains a career as a journalist and poet. A writing assignment dealing with sex and the disabled piques Mark's curiosity, and he decides to investigate the possibility of experiencing sex himself. When his overtures toward a caregiver scare her away, he books an appointment with sex surrogate Cheryl Cohen-Greene to lose his virginity.
This tender comedy bypasses cheap sentimentality to examine intimacy through the lens of a man living inside an iron lung. It finds profound humor and connection in the transactional arrangement between a lonely journalist and his professional sex surrogate.
