I’d like to begin this week’s Nip/Tuck thought session with a few quotes:

“I don’t date guys with gray pubes.” (Thank you Eden.)

“Make love to me Christian; take care of me.” (Make up your mind already Julia — men or women?)

Both lady’s comments made me wonder two things: (1) Are older men less capable of having casual sex? (2) Do all women really want to be taken care of/feel safe?

The Eden/Sean thing was inevitable even though I’d always thought he was too good a guy to do an 18 year-old. However, I was surprised to learn that he wanted more than just a physical relationship with Eden. After resisting her for so long, wouldn’t he want it to be more of a “wham, bam, thank ya m’am” kinda situation?

According to Eden “the sexpert”, older men can’t really do the whole casual sex thing; it seems they are more interested in real relationships and more susceptible to attachment. Not gonna lie, considering this gave me hope that I’ll one day find a mature, relationship-oriented guy. (Never did I ever expect to be enlightened by an 18 year-old tramp on a plastic surgery show.)

Then we have Julia. She really showed some serious strength in this episode. Not only was she the more calm and collected one in her lesbian love affair when the they got mugged, but she decided to buy a gun in order to stay safe. I was impressed… until she showed up at Christian’s door and practically begged him to not only have sex with her, but to “take care of her.”

Although she was so strong earlier in the episode, protecting her women and whatnot, she really wanted to feel safe … with a man. Honestly, I think most girls will admit that feeling a sense of safeness with their significant other is extremely appealing. I know I want to know that I am protected. Obviously, Olivia’s response to the mugging incident was quite a turn off.

One more thing. Can we talk about how Sean and Christian seem to be reversing roles a bit. Sean is becoming more sexual and scandelous, while Christian is acting more fatherly and compassionate. Are things going to continue this way? I’m very intrigued.
