2
How often do you?

1
I don’t know.

2
Roughly.

1
I don’t count.

2
Just take a guess.

(Beat.)

1
I’d guess around five or six times a week.

2
Wow.

1
What?

2
That’s a lot.

1
Not really. A lot of guys do more.

(Pause.)

1
How about you?

2
(Surprised)
Me?

1
Yeah.

2
I don’t really.

1
Ever?

2
Once in a while, but not frequently.

1
Why not?

2
I don’t know.

1
Doesn’t it feel good?

2
I guess.

1
So why don’t you do it much then?

2
I don’t know.

1
You don’t feel any desire to?

2
Not really.

1
Wow.

2
What?

1
It’s hard to imagine.

2
Why?

1
It just is.

(Beat.)

You sure you’ve done it right?

2
Yeah.

1
You could easily be wrong.

2
I don’t think so.

1
Okay.

(Beat.)

2
I mean, I guess I do have some desire to.

1
Okay.

2
Just not that much.

1
That’s still hard for me to imagine.

2
Like, I have more of a desire for chocolate.

1
Seriously?

2
Yeah.

(Beat.)

I can never really imagine wanting sex more than chocolate.

(1 laughs.)

2
What are you laughing at?

1
You’ll get it in a few years when you get a sex-drive.

(Blackout.)
