But Bree did humiliate her husband at the dinner party by announing that he cries after he ejaculates.
He left the table immediately. I wonder what that was all about?
IANADom, but aren’t domination and humiliation different dynamics?
As for Bree’s humiliating Rex at the dinner table, there’s a big difference between a mutually consenting private sexual encounter involving humiliation and springing a humiliating anecdote in a non-sexual and very public setting.
Oh, I agree, Otto. My question was on why he cries after.
Well let’s see, there was a moment in an old Richard Dreyfuss/Amy Irving vehicle (yes, that phrase looks just as odd typed out as it sounded in my head) The Competition (which actually I like) where Amy says something to effect of how after the first time she and Richard did the deed he cried and that this was a great compliment. So perhaps sex with Bree is somehow earth-shattering (and IIRC Rex said something once about how she used to be kind of a wild woman in the sack but her compulsive cleanliness now gets in the way; and then didn’t they show them trying to get it on in his hotel room until she was distracted by an errant burrito?) and Rex weeps like a baby, or sex with Bree is so deeply unsatisfying that Rex weeps like a baby.
Or maybe Rex is like me and his eyes water during and after orgasm and Bree misinterprets.
Because he knew Bree was thinking about new drapes the whole time? “Oh, Rex-- Yes! That’s it! An emerald-green ruffled valance with co-ordinating priscillas! Yes!”
