Sex & hookups 6 moments

How Sex & hookups shows up in Friends S7 E18:

  • Monica No, a guy would be saying, "I’m never gonna get to sleep with anyone else." Oh my God!
  • Monica Okay, but all right you’re a guy, does it not freak you that you’re never gonna sleep with anybody else?
  • Chandler Sleeping with somebody new, anxiety, panic, and I’m afraid even more sweating.
  • Morse (In a sexy voice) You wear that tight little turtleneck sweater…
  • Phoebe I’m just saying, get his number just in case. But no Chandler is in an accident and can’t perform sexually and he would want you to take a lover to satisfy the needs that he can no longer fulfill.
  • Ross Yeah! I don’t know. I mean, last year Elizabeth now-now this kid. What-what-what-what is it?! Am I giving out some kind of…sexy professor vibe? (Rachel and Joey both look at him.)

How Suicide & self-harm shows up in Friends S7 E18:
