The Idol has received plenty of flack for its gratuitous sexuality, a defining trait that has launched 1,000 damning reviews, even more, angry tweets, and an entire Rolling Stone takedown long before its June 6 premiere. Yet, the new HBO series stooped to a new low last Sunday, featuring a truly deranged sex scene between The Weeknd – aka Abel Tesfaye’s – Tedros and Lily-Rose Depp’s Jocelyn.


Concluding the series second installment, entitled “Double Fantasy,” Tedros and Jocelyn get it on in a way once thought to be reserved for the pages of an incel-penned 50 Shades of Gray knockoff, exchanging horrendous dirty talk  – “I want to grab you by the ass while I suffocate you with my cock,” he says at one point – and truly nonsensical instructions –  how, exactly does one “make that throat wet for me?” Tesfaye?



Quickly emerging as the laughing stock online, earning the superlative of “the worst sex scene in history,” from British GQ, comparisons to Rudy Giuliani’s negative rizz and several calls for the series’ – and Tesfaye’s – cancellation, a painful reality quickly arose to the forefront of the conversation: Men actually talk like this during sex.



“I must break my silence, I am sick of pretending men don’t talk like this during sex irl and we don’t yes, and them!” Twitter user @erewhonsmoothie captioned a screengrab from the offending clip.


“This is how every straight man talks dirty it’s not scandalous I feel insane,” they elaborated in the following post.


Despite getting some flack herself – “You guys need to start laughing in men’s faces more,” mused @ghoulhag – others spoke out about just how accurate Tesfaye’s character is at embodying straight men’s game.


“I’m sorry but the idol’s corny sex talk is EXTREMELY accurate straight guy dom top representation,” quipped @HarronWawker, while @1975maddslikened the scene’s writing to “a straight man who’s really bad at sexting.”



Men, if you’re thinking of upping your bedroom rizz, read this, and just be yourselves, unless you’re a porn addict, then fuck off.
