Why does Nancy hire a sex worker?
Nancy Stokes is 60 years old and has never had an orgasm. Her married sex life was unfulfilling, and she feels she’s wasted her life trying to do things “properly.”
Nancy is nervous about having sex with Leo Grande. She’s not sure if she’s ready for it and she doesn’t want to scare him off.
The retired school teacher and her husband are meeting to discuss sexual activities that the husband never wanted to try. The retired school teacher makes a list of sexual activities that the husband never wanted to try, and Leo happily agrees to help her check off the items on the list.
How does Leo Grande help Nancy?
Nancy hires Leo for three sessions to help her with her goals. Each time, she has a goal, but nerves tend to get the better of her and they fill up most of their time talking.
Leo is a polar opposite of Nancy. Where Nancy has long been sexually repressed and judgmental, Leo has always been freer and more willing to embrace his sexuality. ..
Nancy begins to understand after she asks him how he doesn’t have moral qualms about being in the field he’s in. She wonders how he could want to be intimate with some clients, including herself (she’s ashamed of her age).
Leo helps Nancy relax and enjoy her day. He tells her stories about his clients and how he loves what he does.
Nancy begins to understand Leo’s line of work a little better, accepts her own body more, and is more comfortable in seeking pleasure.
Why does Leo storm out of their third session?
Nancy is having a good session with Leo. They have developed an easy rapport and have crossed several items off her list.
Nancy and Leo have opened up about their personal lives. Nancy has spoken about having a son who bores her and a daughter who is too wild for her. Leo has mentioned having a mother and a brother who both think he works at an oil rig. ..
Nancy crosses a line when she does some research to find out that Leo is actually named Connor. She goes further to suggest that they could meet outside of their sessions, and even be friends. ..
Leo Grande is furious. “This is Leo Grande,” he says. “I made him and I’m proud of him.” He tells her he’s never lied about what he’s been providing her: a professional service. ..
Nancy has been pressing him for more information, so he finally tells her about his mom. She tells everyone her son is dead.
Nancy asks what he did to his mother, and he’s even angrier that she would make assumptions. His mother disowned him when he was 15.
Leo tells her that he’s been through a lot lately and that he doesn’t feel like he can go on. He says she doesn’t care about the truth of his life and only wanted someone “exotic and broken.” Now she’s found him.
He storms out of the room, slamming the door shut behind him.
How does ‘Good Luck to You, Leo Grande’ end?
Nancy and Leo end their meeting with a final handshake. Nancy thanks Leo for his time, and he says he’ll see her soon.
Leo told his brother about his job, and it turned out that he had already guessed what he did. His mom still doesn’t talk about him, however. ..
Nancy realizes she should be more proud and loving of her own children. She then calls their waitress, Becky Foster, over. Becky was one of Nancy’s students. Nancy apologizes for how she would shame Becky and other girls by calling them “sluts.” She tells Becky that she’s learned that pleasure is a wonderful thing, and she introduces Leo to her as a sex worker. ..
Nancy and Leo go upstairs to have sex, but Nancy experiences her first orgasm completely on her own. ..
After Leo leaves, Nancy takes off her clothes and looks at herself in the mirror. She is happy with her body for the first time. ..
