The Ways in Which We Are

Denny hates rape scenes. He fast-forwards past them. We don’t ask him why.

Mordecai’s mother died four years ago. He’s convinced she gave into the cancer because he refused to have sex with her.

Andy only practices conceptual sex: he finds the idea of a woman more arousing than any flesh and blood.

Jason sleeps with a new girl every week. He wonders what he should be doing.

Quinn doesn’t know whether he’s supposed to like boys or girls.

For myself, I’ve watched so much porn that I’ve lost all context for breasts. Now I look at them as sort of alien, unsure as to their origin and purpose.

We used to meet on Tuesday; then Frank found out about the Lamaze class next door.

Now we meet on Thursday.
