"White Hands": Japanese medical sex therapists for the disabled [View all]

This is a very interesting video by VICE. It is about a company called "White Hands" that provides sexual stimulation for disabled patients that suffer from cerebral palsy and the like.

The worker herself speaks in very polite and honorific Japanese about the patients. She is clearly educated and has an appreciation for importance of her work and sees the humanity of her patients.
