    Default Movie/TV Show The Client List

    There is a new show around. called the client list with jennifer love hewitt she is also the excutive producer of the show. months ago on tv I saw the movie and thought it was ok it didn't really offend me much just some parts. but now a tv show really I am not sure if I ca sit through each week wondering if they are going to make yet another thing out there offensive to sex workers.

    on wikipedia there was some contraversy that the show put register massage threapist in a bad light, but what about if the show puts us sex workers in a bad light.

    So has anyone seen the movie of the tv show?

    The TV movie was pretty good. It's based on actual events. I DVR'd yesterday's episode, just haven't had a chance to watch yet. I don't think it puts sex workers in a bad light. The only part I found realistic from the commercials is that most of the clients are HOT! But it's on Lifetime, so maybe J Love is just giving the ladies some eye candy.

    i haven't watched it but I saw the trailer. It was definitely something I'd love to watch but every show/movie about sex workers concerns me because it makes it more mainstream and normal, which is very bad for business.

    the facebook page for it is going wild, the register massage threapist find this show offensive, which is hilirious to me so much because of the fact since is partically based on the sex industry and generally shows like this offend sex workers. these anti sex worker groups have chimed in claimining it promotes prostitution is ok and then little ol me fighting that who cares if massage threapist are offended by it sex workers have been stigmatized forever when it comes to this issue.

    some of the massage threapist have tried to make a petittion to get this show cancelled.

    I've seen the controversy too. The licensed massage folks are up in arms saying that movies and shows like this are going to cause more men to come in and expect inappropriate things. I'm thinking, WTF? Most men who know anything at all about the sex industry aren't going to wander into what is clearly a legitimate massage place and expect a "happy ending". These guys research everything ten ways to Tuesday before they part with a few of their beloved dollars. If they haven't seen 9,000 reviews about what all they're getting online, they don't even bother to go. Are they really having that many yo-yo's coming in and thinking they're prostitutes? I mean, DUH, anyone who's in the slightest bit observant can tell the difference between a "regular" massage place and a "special" massage place!

    I saw the movie and the first episode. I don't think that it will shed a negative light on such workers. If anything, it seems as though it normalizes the trade, which, I agree with the above poster, is bad for business. While we complain about people looking down on us and stigmatizing it, it's equally as bad, or worse, when it's normalized, because it means less money for us. If anything, it seems as though the TV show's story is looking at the "other side" of it that people are more likely to be able to relate to...

    I just now watched it...

    Sort of distracted though, kept expecting to see a ghost come out somewhere....
    And when she was talking to the wife, I kept expecting the words "And he wants me to let you know..."

    I saw the show last night and all I thought was how they portray unrealistic light on the the type of clients and "massage therapists" are . I mean I can't imagine every client getting a happy ending is as hot and sweet as all of those dudes were. Bet today there were a ton of massage therapist applications around the country. This show glamorizes this industry. But hey, as long as it sells Lifetime channel some commercial time, they don't care.

    I guess that if this was a documentary, then I could see what all the hoopla was about, but its just a tv show. CSI does not accurately depict what criminalists do, House does not accurately depict what doctors do etc etc. Its hilarious to watch a naval show/movie with my sister and brother in law...the whole time they are like, no way that could happen, instant court marshall! Thats not even part of his duties! etc etc. And if someone says they liked the movie they are like no! it sucked! They get thier entertainment value out of pointing out all the things that are completely wrong with it. Take any tv show and the profession of anyone in it, and theres someone out there going wtf? Thats not right, people cant think thats what I do!!! Except they arent exactly petitioning to have the show shut down are they

    The purpose of tv shows arent to accurately portray anything, and I really do wonder about people who watch tv and movies and think that the stuff in it is supposed to be real and have no concept of creative license and for entertainment purposes only. I think they should not watch tv and get out more. lol

    I saw this show..... Not a very realistic portrayal of the Rub and Tug biz..... Now having said that..... A pretty girl who only does hand releases, and does it with some interest, and attention to her job can do very well.

    I have yet to catch the show, so can't comment on it yet, but I think it would be a good thing if it encourages 'real massages' with happy endings. There are 'real massage' places where $40 cash can get you an awesome massage. (.. and they state that 'any funny business gets you kicked out'...), and other places that give $150 crappy massages with 5 min of 'rub and tug'. I guess we can thank our government for making it illegal. I'm likely showing my age, but I can remember the State of Maine making that part of the massage illegal.

    Sorry for the thread hijack.
