Part of the hype for the film then
Dame Emma Thompson has said that sex should be recommended by the NHS.
The Academy Award-winning actress explained sex is “so good for you” as she also revealed her friends had started to hire escorts after realising how integral it was to their health and wellbeing.”
“You need sex because it’s part of our health plan, if you like,” Dame Emma said, adding: “It should really be on the NHS. It should. It’s so good for you.”
She added: “We need to learn about our own response to: ‘What if when you’re unwell, you can’t make connections, but you need sex?’”
Dame Emma, 66, speaking at a screening of her 2022 film Good Luck to You, Leo Grande, also called for the stigma around the topic of sex workers to be addressed.
The film, which sees the actress portray a retired schoolteacher who hires a young sex worker, had inspired her friends, MailOnline reported.
Remarkable how her views are so directly aligned with the story of the movie, eh? Just astonishing.
There’s a very good Alan Coren column from back in the day on this. Sex on the NHS. Very funny. Think it’s in the Omnibus – which is, of course, a book everyone should have. If you don’t you must get it.
