I will give you your first sexual,
not sex, but sexual, exercise.
AII right?
Let's get started.
Arnold, would you Iike to begin?
Do you...
this right now before...
We should just get our things and go.
I'll go first. I will.
Fine.
Terrific.
AII right.
Kay, Iet's talk about what
you Iiked sexually.
(STAMMERS)
Was intercourse pleasurable for you?
Sometimes.
Did you have orgasms?
(BREATHES DEEPLY)
Sometimes.
Do you masturbate? KAY: No.
Not anymore.
Why not?
Because at a certain point, I just...
(SIGHS)
I think I didn't want to think about
sex or about Arnold, even.
It just made me sad thinking
about what I missed and...
Do you have fantasies?
Mmm-hmm.
What?
My fantasy is that, you know,
we'll renew our vows.
on a beach, maybe.
Right.
Maybe with the kids there.
Right. And do you have sexual fantasies?
Imagine scenarios?
Having sex on a mountain top
or dressed all in Ieather?
(LAUGHS)
That's funny.
So, no.
and things that we've done.
You never have fantasies about things that
you haven't done ever?
No.
Okay. Okay.
AII right. Arnold, Iet's talk about you.
What do you enjoy sexually?
Sex.
I'm going to ask you to get more specific.
Okay, fine.
So you enjoy the actual sexual
act? Intercourse?
Yeah.
Missionary style.
(SIGHS)
Would you prefer that to, say, oral sex?
I guess so.
Was oral sex an option? Is that something
that you would do regularly?
(STAMMERING) No, I, I, I, I don't... No.
I was not very... I'm...
(CLEARS THROAT) I was not
comfortable with that.
Giving or receiving?
Huh?
Um, I don't know. Both, I guess.
Okay. So, now you, Arnold, would
have been open to that.
What does it matter? She just
said it was not an option.
DR. FELD:
What about problemsin the bedroom?
Have you ever experienced
erectile dysfunction?
(LAUGHS) No.
Use medications Iike Viagra?
No.
As we age, sometimes, it becomes...
It works.
What would you say was working
in your sex Iife
when you were sexual together? (SIGHS)
For instance, would you climax? Yeah.
wanted to do, but didn't?
You're kidding, right?
Well?
I mean, who says no to that?
Right. Then go ahead.
Uh, what, you want a whole Iist?
Sure.
Uh...
I'm not really coming up with anything.
There are no wrong answers here.
(SIGHS)
Well...
If you could have anything you wanted
in your sex Iife with Kay,
what would that be?
Did you have fantasies that you didn't
feel comfortable telling her about?
Of course.
Well, I guess I used to think
about Kay giving me a...
(SIGHS)
Giving me oral...
You know...
At work. Under the desk.
At tax time.
So, public places.
No, not just public places.
No? Okay. Good, good. Very good.
What else?
(CLEARING THROAT) A threesome.
With? The neighbor.
Helen?
No, Carol.
Carol?
Carol with the corgis?
Very good, Arnold. Both of you.
I am going to give you your next exercise.
You think we ought to be sitting for this?
Well,
maybe Iying down.
You want to go first?
Do you want me to?
Six of one, half dozen of the other.
(EXHALES)
(SIGHS)
Is that all right? Fine.
Does it feel good?
It feels Iike you're petting a dog.
That tickles. Don't...
Sorry. Okay.
Don't go there. I'm sorry.
(CLEARS THROAT)
(SIGHS)
I really don't see the point of...
I mean, this Dr. Feld...
Mmm-hmm.
...you think he has other Iegitimate
doctors here who agree with him,
some sort of a renegade?
You, I mean, well, us,
your average person, you could be being
treated by someone who's psychotic.
just a very average,
or even below-average practitioner.
Uh...
(GROANS)
What?
You sure? Yeah, I think I just...
I'm going to bed.
(SIGHS)
(MOANING SOFTLY)
(KAY BREATHING HEAVILY)
(MOANING)
(SHUDDERING BREATHS)
So, Iast night you had
the touching exercise.
How did that go?
How was that for you?
AII right, Iet's talk about it. Arnold.
How was it having Kay touch you?
It was fine, I guess.
Did it feel good?
Did you get aroused?
How did that make you feel?
Aroused.
What about you, Kay? How
did that make you feel?
Oh, I got aroused, too.
Did you know that, Arnold?
How am I supposed to know what
she's thinking or feeling?
How was it for you, Kay,
Oh, we didn't get to that part.
Why not? Why?
Because we just stopped.
We did the exercise. It
was done. We did it.
The exercise was to spend a period of
time touching each other sensually.
It sounds Iike Kay touched
you and then you stopped.
Did you talk about it?
Whose idea was it to stop?
It was mine, okay. I just wanted
to stop. I wanted...
AII right. Okay. I didn't
want to do it anymore.
AII right. Well, Iet's go deeper, then.
Let's not go deeper.
It's not enough to just be
here. You have to try.
I'm not trying? I flew 1 ,500 miles up
here for this and I'm not trying?
AII right. Well, then, Iet's
just try to figure this out.
Why did you want Kay to stop?
I wanted her to stop because...
Were you afraid?
No! What do I have to be afraid of?
Fear... Hey, re-engaging can be...
I'm not afraid of my own wife.
Fine. Well, that's okay. It's okay.
It's normal to feel fear.
I did not feel fear!
Then why did you stop Kay
from touching you?
Let me tell you something.
I am done with this for today.
I am done.
I'll see you back at the room.
(BIRDS SQUAWKING)
(CRICKETS CHIRPING)
Kay?
What are you doing?
Dr. Feld said he'd give us a refund.
What percent?
What?
Did he say he'd give us back
the whole payment, or...
Half. Half.
I don't know what you thought
What did you...
I mean, there's no magic
pill or wand or...
He's just a guy with an office.
Mmm-hmm.
It's ridiculous. You come up
here, you spend one week
and you're supposed to, what,
have a new marriage?
It's a setup. You're set up for failure.
Then you feel bad about failing.
You see that, right?
You can't win.
Why the hell did you bring us here?
You know how you think you're always
headed towards something?
You think, "When we get married,"
or, "When we have kids,"
or, "When the kids go and
it's just us again..."
You know, there's always something
to Iook forward to.
And one day, I realized that we are
not going towards anything anymore.
And I guess I was just not willing
to Iet go of things getting
better anymore.
Not yet.
Maybe you just don't get a choice,
you know?
Maybe you just don't get a choice.
Don't forget your razor in the bathroom.
You're back.
Let's talk about that. ARNOLD: Let's not.
Let's just... I'm back, all right?
That ought to be enough.
It isn't, actually.
What do you want from me, blood?
You have a Iot of anger, Arnold.
What do you think you're so angry about?
Why? What are you afraid will happen?
