English Summary:
In Berkeley, California, in 1988, Mark O'Brien is a 38 year old poet who is forced to live in an iron lung due to complications from polio. Due to his condition, he has never had sex. After unsuccessfully proposing to his caretaker Amanda, and sensing he may be near death, he decides he wants to lose his virginity. After consulting his priest, Father Brendan, he gets in touch with Cheryl Cohen-Greene, a professional sex surrogate. She tells him they will have no more than six sessions together. They begin their sessions, but soon it is clear that they are developing romantic feelings for each other. Cheryl's husband, who loves her deeply, fights to suppress his jealousy, at first withholding a love poem that Mark has sent by mail to Cheryl, which she eventually finds. After several attempts, Mark and Cheryl are able to have mutually satisfying sex, but decide to cut the sessions short on account of their burgeoning feelings.
Hungarian Summary:
A 36 éves Mark O'Brien különleges ember, aki egy gyermekkori betegség miatt vastüdőt kapott, és azóta is azzal lélegzik. Talán épp ennek köszönhető, hogy még sosem szexelt lánnyal, pedig ez minden vágya: elveszíteni szüzességét. Épp ezért fordul Cheryl Cohen-Greene-hez, aki amúgy tisztes házasságban élő szextanácsadó szakember.
