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:
“A culture may be conceived as a network of beliefs and purposes in which any string in the net pulls and is pulled by the others, thus perpetually changing the configuration of the whole. If the cultural element called morals takes on a new shape, we must ask what other strings have pulled it out of line. It cannot be one solitary string, nor even the strings nearby, for the network is three-dimensional at least.”
—Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)
