A Moment in Loveline

A guy calls in to ask how he might persuade his girlfriend to let him video tape her masturbating. "I have a tape of a guy jacking off; would that help convince her?' Adam said, "You need therapy." "Therapy?" corrected Dr. Drew. "I'd say more like psychiatric care!"

Did that reaction seem a bit strange? Apparently, their guest host thought so, because he asked them to elaborate on their diagnosis. Dr. Drew said that the guy is probably gay if he has a video of a guy masturbating; and, he suffers from empathy failure because he thinks that his girlfriend would agree to star in this home-made porno instead of screaming and running away.

This surprised me. First, to say that gay is in need of therapy seems totally inconsistent with show. Second, I don't think it's too crazy to imagine that a guy would want a video of a girl masturbating - and therefore it doesn't seem that a girl would be as freaked out as Loveline says she would (insulted, maybe) to hear this request. The sheer volume of pornos on this theme confirm both hypotheses, I think. She might be a little concerned about his sexuality, but again, I don't know that a bisexual boyfriend is that freaksome. I feel like a lot of women would rationalize: "Well, as long as he's not driving stick NOW...maybe I can permanently swing him to our team."

It was a puzzling moment.

A) Grow a penis, lose a penis; let's not make any assumptions about Rex's gender.

B) Women have one extra orifice. Nuff said.
