This Time It's Personal. AVN Top 500 2005 AVN Award Winner for Best Film 2005 AVN Award Winner for Best Director 2005 AVN Award Winner for Best Actor 2005 AVN Award Winner for Best Actress 2004 XRCO Best Film of the Year Perhaps you may remember this title from a long time ago. Perhaps you may even remember that that title was also directed by Paul Thomas. Well, it took cajones the size of small wrecking balls, but Paul Thomas re-worked and re-cast his 1990 award-winning film, now starring the modern-era porn "power couple." Jenna Jameson is The Masseuse combines the powerful storytelling that only Thomas can bring to the table with the scintillating performance capabilities of Sterling and Jameson. The on-screen electricity of their sex is only rivaled by the intricacy and depth of their characters - this is one porn title where the acting is actually WORTH paying attention to. The plot has changed little; Sterling plays the role of Jim Mitchell, the nerdy and now internet-savvy sexual neophyte. Jameson portrays Barbara - the masseuse of the film's namesake and prostitute. Featuring a wide scope of sex scenes ranging from the tried-and-true hand job to full-on BDSM, the use of digital filming brings this re-working of a classic into a whole new light.
