Cultural References
The expression "happy ending" is a colloquial term for the practice of a masseuse to offer sexual release to a client. The 2009 documentary Happy Endings? follows women who work in Asian massage parlours in Rhode Island where prostitution was legal. Although the film focuses on full service massage parlours, "rub and tug" massage parlours (where only handjobs are offered) are also covered.

Famous quotes containing the word cultural:
“If we can learn ... to look at the ways in which various groups appropriate and use the mass-produced art of our culture ... we may well begin to understand that although the ideological power of contemporary cultural forms is enormous, indeed sometimes even frightening, that power is not yet all-pervasive, totally vigilant, or complete.”
—Janice A. Radway (b. 1949)
