Dr. V is seeing her husband off on a business trip, leaving her alone with 4 boys under the age of seven. Wow. Before he leaves, hubby tells her he wants another child. Dr. V has an appropriate response.

 Fuck off.

Back to Greggy and Kevin. They talk about their commitment ceremony. Kevin says it won’t change their “ish” relationship. Greg also has to break it to their father about their commitment ceremony, because apparently Greg’s dad is a raging homophobic and was physically abusive. Greg is also concerned that his sisters won’t come if his father is there. I say don’t invite him. Only have people who will celebrate your life. I feel for Greg.

Back to Eris, as we watch her getting changed (ugh) into a sexy outfit. She has hired a chef to create an aphrodisiac meal.

Looook atttt meeeeeee! LOOK AT ME!!!

Hubby comes home and looks less than thrilled. Grateful for the effort, but not so aroused. Um, I have a great aphrodisiac method for better sex. Figure out why you’re NOT having sex. Maybe YOU need a therapist. No amount of food is going to help if you’re not into it in the first place. Eris decides to drop the ultimate bomb to help things along..she wants a baby. Now. Greg says sex will decrease if they have a child. Eris says they’ve only had sex once in the last two months. Greg is a little thick. Or there’s an agenda. I think he really doesn’t want kids. I want to see what’s really going on with these two.

Well, that’s it, folks! The premiere episode. I hope to hear some lively discussion from y’all. I’m going to turn this off before I have to see any more promos with Stassi in them. Stassi! What the fuck kind of name is that? See you next week!!

About

In the immortal words of No Doubt: I'm just a girl. I'm just a girl in the world. Hopefully. There's nothing I like better than mixing a fine cosmo, putting my feet up and laughing my ass off reading a Tvgasm recap. The reality is that the cosmo is actually a grape Kool Aid - but the rest of it is true!!

    @CynTV, “monogamish” is a term coined by Dan Savage (listen to the Savage Love podcast if you don’t, you’ll be mortified and aroused all at once), which means that your primary relationship is where the emotional connection is met, however, both partners can have a sexual outlet (within the terms agreed to by both partners) with other people.

    Thank you, Derek! It still makes no sense to me. If you call yourself committed, anything outside of the relationship is cheating. And it’s eventually gonna cause trouble (as we may see in an upcoming episode.)

    @CynTV, glad to help! Personally, I’m too jealous of a person to actually be in an open relationship, so I know that they won’t work for my temperament.

    I can’t believe Bravo missed the boat on the opportunity to have these “L.A. Shrinks” follow some of the other Bravo-lebrities like MJ from Shahs dealing with her insecurity, GG dealing with her anger issues, or RHOBH’s Kim Richards dealing with her recovery. It would’ve given the show some instant credibility amongst the Bravo watchers, because if I wanted to watch new characters discuss their inner demons and sexual dysfunctions, I could easily watch reruns of HBO’s “In Treatment.”

    Funny recap, CynTV! I found myself really enjoying this show. Gregg reminds me of Jeff Lewis, who I really get a kick out of watching so I’m looking forward to more of him. Dr. V is fabulous. She’s my kind of gal. (Agreed – could do without the undressing and bathtub scene tho.) Holding judgment for now on Eris and hubby Clayton. Something seems really ‘off’ with them. Maybe they should have tried connecting sexually PRIOR to getting married??? And, from the sounds of it, the subject of kids was not discussed enough prior to them getting married either. SMH!

    When I first watched the ep. I didn’t know that Eris and Greg were married and I thought he was her gay bff. So that may be the actual problem. Also who washes carrots with soap?? Who does this?

    Also I kind of really love Dr. V. That lady would be beyond fun to have drinks with.

    “Also who washes carrots with soap?? Who does this?”

    I do. If they are organic, I wash them with vegetable wash (i.e. soap). If they are conventionally grown, I peel them.

    Great recap Cyn! Eris is the Greek goddess of discord, sister and constant companion of good old War god Ares. She and Aphrodite (Venus) didn’t get on that well. Granted none of the goddesses liked Eris; you throw a one little golden apple and start the Trojan War and suddenly you are black-balled at Olympus. Too bad Greg has such a Plain John American name. :)

    Awesome – history lessons.

    I can’t believe this is real. I couldn’t make it through the whole show to see the credits. Wondering if these aren’t bad actors like they use on Gigolos.

    As someone who works in the mental health field, I find the antics of these docs to be ridiculously unethical, so I HOPE that they’re really all actors. Otherwise, I’m guessing that California has some very loose standards for the profession….

    I love Doc V she is right. No one takes ownership of their adult choices. We call everything a disease
