The Sessions Page #4

VERA:
Hello.

Welcome back.

CHERYL:
Perfect timing.

I hope you guys kept the noise down.

See you then.

What was it like?

How do you feel?

Cleansed and victorious.

Doesn't get any better than that.

How about your first time?

Oh, let me think.

What was it like?

It wasn't all that pleasant.

Oh.

I mean, it was consensual

and everything...

...and I was in love with the guy,

but his dick seemed enormous to me.

I didn't think it would fit.

It was scary.

He was nice. I guess he couldn't help it.

Was he Chinese?

Are you kidding me?

I only dated white guys in high school.

Why is that?

Stick it to my mom and dad,

I suppose.

Are they happy now

you have a Chinese boyfriend?

They're happy. I'm happy.

What's his dick like?

Perfect size.

Why do you call it a

dick instead of a penis?

Dick...

Penis sounds like some vegetable

you don't want to eat.

Heh, heh.

Dick sounds like what it is.

The thing is...

...it was all over so damn quickly.

Yeah, tell me about it.

First session.

Mark O'Brien is the oldest

of four children...

...and raised Catholic.

He was extremely nervous.

He yelled a lot when I took off his shirt,

but I think more out of fear than pain.

He cannot masturbate, has had

only the occasional kissing experience.

He's capable of achieving an erection easily,

but the unusual curvature of his body...

...could be a serious

obstacle to intercourse.

I just started working with this gentleman

who spends almost his entire life...

...trapped in a big metal box.

Did you hear what I said?

Yes. Yes.

And you are a saint.

"Sometimes the head of the penis

may be too large...

...to penetrate the vaginal opening

smoothly...

...in which case the application

of lubricant is recommended...

...to avoid possible..."

Oh, my God.

So, what's on the menu

for today?

We're attempting intercourse.

Heh. The big one.

What do you think of it?

Intercourse.

Overrated but necessary.

Plenty of other ways

of achieving the same result.

Somehow you don't feel like you've done it

until you've gone all the way in.

I want you to look at me this time.

Come on, give it a try. Open your eyes.

Do you like watching me undress?

I do.

So from now on...

...you're gonna start to listen

to signals from your body.

That way, you'll be able

to have some control...

Oh, God! Oh, God.

Damn.

Sh*t.

I did it again.

This time, I ejaculated on her thigh.

I felt cursed.

That the whole enterprise was cursed.

It seemed like a totally just punishment.

God wasn't actually denying

my sexuality.

He was just pointing out to me

how useless it was.

It's amazing to me how often God

is brought into the sex act.

I understand even among nonbelievers...

...the most common expression

of sexual ecstasy is, "Oh, God." Heh.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Okay, I don't want to hear

any more about God cursing you.

I want the credit. It was

my overpowering beauty that did it.

It took you by surprise.

Now, where were we?

What do you mean, "Where were we?"

I'm gonna touch you.

I'm touching you.

Okay.

And when we both feel you're aroused...

...like now,

I'm gonna guide you inside me.

Is there anything I need to do?

Just close your eyes...

...and feel your body.

That's all you need to do.

It won't fit. It's not going to fit.

Mark, it will fit just fine.

No, it's dangerous. It's too big.

It's not too big. Relax.

No, it won't fit. It'll hurt. It's too risky.

Mark, Mark, stop.

Stop.

I promise you nothing bad

will happen.

Let's try again

while you're still hard.

Sh*t! Sh*t.

Sh*t.

I'm really sorry.

Stop being sorry.

And stop reading

those stupid sex manuals.

There's still some time left.

We could talk.

Or you could suck my nipples.

That went well.

Or which would you like to do first?

CHERYL:
I believe the root of his anxiety

is his parents and his religion.

He believes he doesn't deserve sex.

He believes he's responsible for his

little sister's death at the age of 7...

...because his mother

was too busy looking after him.

We discussed his fantasies,

which were mostly masochistic.

Again, the idea of being punished.

He's never seen female genitalia before and

seems quite frightened at the thought of it.

My worry now is

that it's never gonna happen.

I'm never gonna have intercourse

with Cheryl or any other woman.

Maybe intercourse

would prove I was an adult.

Maybe I don't want to cross that line.

Maybe this is a bad idea.

Do you want to know what I think?

Please.

Forget the psychobabble.

I grew up on a farm.

Even the animals need a couple of tries

to get it right.

May I suggest

you try to enjoy it more?

Don't worry about the technical stuff.

You're a poet.

Be romantic.

(TRAIN BELL RINGS)

Uh... No.

Uh... Maybe.

Yes. Thanks.

That's good.

All right.

Okay.

You nervous?

A little.

Want a spritz?

Yes, of course I would.

I have a good feeling about today.

A very good feeling.

Good.

I had a feeling

it was never going to happen...

...but I think today's the day.

Can I make a suggestion?

Please.

Stop thinking about it.

Couldn't have wished for nicer weather.

You're not listening, are you?

Stop thinking about it.

Beautiful weather.

(PEOPLE LAUGHING AND CHATTERING)

(RINGS DOORBELL)

Oh, my God, Mark.

I'm so sorry.

I forgot.

She was very apologetic.

Look, it may not be exactly

what we had in mind...

...but I noticed a couple of blocks

from here a pretty nice motel.

Might be worth checking out.

Why not?

(SOFT MUSIC

PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS)

(BELL DINGS)

Do you have anything on the ground floor?

I've got a single.

How much?

Thirty-five plus tax.

My boss is the gentleman

in the gurney.

He's supposed to be having

a therapy session.

The facility we normally use

had some scheduling mix-up.

We just need the room for two hours.

Can you do 20 cash?

CLERK:
A soda machine around the corner.

MARK:
Thanks.

CLERK:
And an ice machine if you need it.

MARK:
I'm sure it'll come in handy.

Thank you so much.

Okay, that's it.

I've got a book to read. I'll be hanging

around reception if you need me.

Thanks.

Very atmospheric.

Some people find motels exciting.

Do you think I could be

one of those people?

Of course.

Nice shirt.

As in racy and sophisticated?

You took the words right out

of my mouth.

What's wrong with your boss?

Basically he can only move his head.

So, what sort of therapy

are they doing?

They're having sex.

(LAUGHS)

You're shitting me.

Okay. I'm shitting you.

Oh, no, come on,

tell me for real.

What are they actually doing?

Well, today,

after some appropriate foreplay...

...they're gonna try to achieve

full penetration.

(MARK GROANING)

CHERYL:

Are you okay down there?

MARK:

I'm choking.

CHERYL:
Oh, my God.

The mouthpiece.

The mouth...

Thank you.

Well, I guess that's off the menu

until further notice.

Come on. Lighten up.

(SINGING)

Bonny girl, bonny girl

Won't you be my bonny girl?

My dad used to sing that

to my little sister Karen before she died.
