#eddie pent up after like a day plus sex addict buck#we should discuss this#911 show
hi erin any chance you wanna share more about your thoughts on this with the class????? :D :D :D
Yeah!! So like, I feel like it's conventional wisdom (that I don't necessarily disagree with) that Buck 1.0 was not a sex addict so much as he just used sex as both a stand in for emotional intimacy he craved and, subconsciously, as a form of self-harm as well, and once he moved to Buck 2.0 he didn't need that as much. But I think the likely case is he feels he's supposed to fight against his libido a bit, not that his desire for sex actually went down. I think he came away with this negative association with having lots of sex, rather than realizing that it was the reason he was having lots of sex that was bad.
Meanwhile we have Eddie who canonically likes to fuck early and often in his relationships. While Buck 1.0 used sex as a stand-in for emotional intimacy, Eddie uses it to avoid emotional intimacy, ex: continually falling into bed with Shannon to distract from having to talk about their issues, or rushing things with Marisol and then ending up feeling "pent up" despite it being like a matter of hours since they last had sex. But he clearly still very much enjoys sex and is good at it, given the amount of satisfaction he and his partners get out of it on screen.
So we have two guys who obviously enjoy sex and are comfortable with a, um, very high frequency, but who also have yet to manage to get into a relationship that would allow them to embrace that side of themselves without the other baggage that comes with it. Which basically means that once Buck and Eddie get together, and they have that stability and that emotional comfort they both always needed, not only will they be having marathon sex on the regular, but it'll feel better than it ever felt before, because they aren't using it to hide or distract or cling! They can just enjoy it!! A LOT of it!!! Like...a lot, a lot.
