- I remember an episode of Norther Exposure, where the doctor is invited by
- Maggi to have sex (she wasn't drunk, but without sleep for 36 hours). She
- was asleep by time he enters the bedroom, and does the "gentleman" thing by
- leaving her untouched. Later on she becomes pissed off after finding out he
- didn't do anything, because she doesn't feel sexy. THIS IS ONLY A MOVIE,
- but it expresses a male's feeling of "damned if I do & damned if I don't"!
