DREAM ON: HEY DIDDLE DIDDLE (TV)
Summary
One in this comedy series about a publishing company employee named Martin Tupper whose thoughts become animated through black-and-white clips of old television shows. In this episode, Martin dreams that he is sexually incompetent and unable to satisfy Judith. The next day at work, Martin meets with Dr. Esther, a Whitestone author and sex expert, who quickly gets him to discuss his problems. He recalls last week when Judith caught him masturbating in the shower. Judith considered it cheating on her and stormed away. After that, Martin read Dr. Esther's book and decided to follow her advice. The next night at dinner, Martin apologized to Judith about masturbating, telling her that they need to be less inhibited. However, Judith responded that she has never masturbated. Shocked by the admission, Martin told Judith to finally "give it a whirl." Soon enough, Martin and Judith headed to a sex toys shop to purchase a vibrator. Heading home, Martin tried to create the appropriate atmosphere for their experience. Almost immediately, Judith was blown away by her skills at satisfying herself, quickly having an orgasm. A few days later, Martin and Judith had sex, with Martin unhappy to see that Judith appeared less thrilled with sex than with masturbation. Worse, Martin discovered that Judith has become something of an addict, sending him back to his old apartment to sulk. Back in the present, Dr. Esther -- aided by advice from Toby -- finds the problem rests with Martin for caring more about his ego than Judith's pleasure. Thus, Martin tries to make amends and give Judith a bedroom experience that she'll never forget.
