Real or fake, however, my same issue with the episode remains: this was played as a punchline. Haha, Kris spiked Bruce’s coffee with Viagra and Rob accidentally drank it! Isn’t that HIGH-LARIOUS? NO. IT IS NOT. The fact of the matter is, real or not, E! chose to run a storyline in which a wife DRUGS HER HUSBAND WITHOUT HIS KNOWLEDGE. This is not funny. It’s not okay. It’s not even close to either of those two things. It’s irresponsible, and frankly, could be considered criminal. What if Bruce had a reaction to this drug that she was slipping him? What if Rob’s erection didn’t go away and he had to have his penis drained so that the blood didn’t clot in it (yes, that’s why you’re advised to go to the doctor if your erection lasts more than 4 hours)?
What the fuck was she thinking? And how the fuck did a network think this was okay to air? It’s like, as long as it’s about sexual arousal, it’s okay to joke about things that aren’t remotely funny, kind of like the New York Post did about Restless Genital Syndrome. Isn’t that FUNNY AND AWESOME?
KRIS IS SPIKING BRUCE’S DRINK SO THEY CAN FUCK A LOT!
ROB ACCIDENTALLY TOOK VIAGRA AND HAS A RAGING BONER THAT IS PAINFUL AND UNCOMFORTABLE! HAHAHA.
THIS WOMAN CAN’T TURN HER AROUSAL OFF, TO THE POINT THAT SHE CAN’T FUNCTION OR THINK PROPERLY, AND SEX HAS BECOME PAINFUL. HOW AWESOME WOULD IT BE TO BE *HER* BOYFRIEND??
Sexual problems and dysfunctions continue to not be taken seriously, and are played off as a punchline in countless television shows and movies. Yet beyond that, the sheer irresponsibility of the E! Network to air a show in which a woman spikes her husbands drink with drugs without his knowledge, whether real or scripted, is absolutely unforgivable and disgusting.
I'm Britni, a snarky bitch and generally awesome person. I write about sex, love, and bullshit. If sex-positivity, discussions about BDSM and kink, queer issues, and topics that are completely inappropriate by society's standards make you uncomfortable, then this blog is not for you.

Wasn't this the same episode where everyone laughingly suggests Khloe goes to anger management classes because she hit Scott in the face? Way to make a joke out of something serious. I think she could have used some counseling in general if she was that upset about her sister being "taken away" because she is seriously involved with a man. But, hey, what do I know?
What if Bruce had spiked Kris' drink with a date-rape drug? Either way, I agree with you, Brit, that it is NOT FUNNY and not okay to air.
On Date #4 with Date Boy, he joked about how, in high school, he and his then-girlfriend took the date-rape drug just to see how it would affect them. I think this when I realized he and I were not a match.
Meg, The Bruiser told me once that him and his friends would take roophies and party on them when they were in college. I've been roophied twice, and I have NO IDEA how anyone was able to drink and party on them.
You make a great point…
