Interesting conclusion to the Jenna saga - instead of turning out to be a nutcase who exposes him as I (and others here) had feared, she's actually staged a very clever (albeit cruel) psychodrama to gain the satisfaction that she wanted even more than sexual gratification: the chance to do to a man what too many men have apparently done to her, dumped her after letting her develop feelings for them without even explaining why. And she's willing to pay for the privilege.

I think this is brilliant in the way it highlights the differences between men and women vis-a-vis sex. A typical male john pays to f*** a woman's body, while here Jenna's paying to f*** his mind.

What has me most curious now is where things are going with Ray & Tanya. A typical (male) pimp exploits his girls in part by making them feel dependent on him. These two have a much more legitimate relationship developing and I can't help but wonder how that will ultimately affect their professional interaction.

My wife and I enjoy the examination of relationships on this show.

It'd be interesting if Ray and Tanya got together as more than business partners in the end. I doubt it, but we'll see.

Yeah, pretty brilliant plot twist (end?) with the Jenna storyline. Very unexpected.

I'm glad the horny chick got what she's been wanting. :p

I must have missed it. What did she want? :D

The horny chick got laid by a guy who says all the right things, Jenna got to hurt a guy the way she's been hurt. And Ray gets paid for both. Win-win-win. Everybody's happy. Sort of.

I like the show, but I think the name and underlying premise makes it hard to tell other people that you like it, so I just don't.

I think it is pretty good, and would probably have been better served with a different name for the show. They don't really play that up much in the show, and they seem to downplay it more and more as they go....

The show is good though.

Thanks for explaining it, I had just thought she got tired of him, never thought about it a plan on purpose, like she might be after a hotter guy now or something. I am hoping for some Ann Hect nude scenes in this in future too.

I don't understand, really. Are you 'embarrassed' to like or talk about the fact that you like a show with that name? It's just a name of a show and one word which has numerous meanings. And, yes it implies certain things, those are part of life, part of many conversations and well, it just goes to show you where people's minds automatically go....to the 'gutter'!

I think it's good for conversations to start as a result of the show's title.
And, then, that the show really isn't all about how large anyone is, but rather turns out to be about different perspectives on sex, relationships, etc.

I actually saw the Jemma conclusion coming a while ago: back when she had him come to therapy it seemed pretty obvious what she wanted. I'm happy that they didn't go with some melodramatic threat to the Happiness Consultants.

This show seems to be gaining it's footing. I like it. I'm glad it's not 1hr though; I'm not sure I like it enough to make that kind of commitment :)

If it was they'd have to change the title to "60 Minute Man." That would make it easy to pick a theme song, though. :D
