Every sex therapist is required to put in at least 1,000 hours of sex experience to earn their degree.

Lots of people in sex therapy run out of Tupperware. It’s perfectly normal.

Sex therapists are happy to answer that those who navigate to store.TheOnion.com are more likely to get painfully hard through Zweibel Magnum Supplements and that their erection could cause their girlfriend to explode.

“How’s my ticker looking, doc?”

You’re paying her $200 per hour. Might as well get some medical advice thrown in for free.

“I’ve heard that confidence is key and it’s all about attitude in the bedroom. Are these the best ways to drive men wild?”

“Should all this crying be turning me on?”

Definitely! Next question.

17 / 25

“I want to put my penis inside a poppy seed bun, top it with chili and diced onions, and feed it to a raccoon. Am I normal?”

18 / 25

“Can you dead-lift a Ford F-150?”

You’re thinking of a psychologist.

“Can I tell you all the animals I’ve had sex with?”

Be warned, this is not covered by therapist-client confidentiality. If you say anything other than human or donkey, your therapist is legally required to tell the authorities.

22 / 25

“My penis is anthropomorphic. Is that normal?”

Big eyes, beady eyes, top hat and cane, or a pair of Groucho Marx glasses—there’s no right way for an anthropomorphic penis to look.

23 / 25

“It’s the sex?”

It’s the sex.
