Because, Adam, we'd want to go to different places.

Right.

I just love women. Always have.

It's the support you get.

That's what I miss. I'm just crap at being single.

Well, you've got your men's group.

Put a sock in it.

You've got your antlers to fall back on.

You're gagging to come to my men's group.

You're fascinated by it.

All right, I'm fascinated. It's more at a wet dream level than wanting to join up.

I envision you all ripping your clothes off and wrestling naked.

We have never done that. Now you mention it,

- it's not a bad idea.

- That's exactly the kind of thing

that would stop me from going. Wrestling naked.

What if I got a hard-on?

Well, it would add a whole new dynamic.

It certainly would.

Anyway, why be ashamed of what your body does?

Also, the group could do with a bit of variety.

You think my erections glow in the dark? That's how we find each other in parks at night?

- Can I say one thing?

- Yes.

Good.

I think it's an incredible time to be a guy.

We have to get ready for the new century. We have to know who we are. I think you should come.

No.

BELL RINGS:

Hi.

- Keith, this is Leo.

- Hi. Pleased to meet you.

- Hi.

- Leo, this is Keith.

Hi. Come on in.

Sybil, I told you the men's group was going to use the Moroccan room.

I cleared it with you.

- So, you get the Moroccan room and the Tibetan singing bowl.

- I booked the Tibetan singing bowl.

I wasn't there when you did it.

It never occurred to you my women's group might want the Moroccan room.

We get the small little Inuit room. Because we're so small.

Sybil, we'll talk about this later.

I suppose you guys need that space for your gigantic penises.

Correct.

Everyone, this is Leo.

Hi, hi.

Leo, this is John.

Pleased to meet you.

Terry and Brendan who's Irish.

So, Leo, we usually get new members to begin by telling us a history of yourself

as a man. How do you feel about your maleness? Proud?

Ashamed?

Ambivalent?

Er...

Don't rush it.

Just take your time.

- We talked for hours and I told them all about my family and it was wonderful.

- You amaze me.

You talked about your emotional problems with a roomful of straight men?

The experience of being male is common to gay and straight men. If you've got a dick, you're a man.

- Isn't that right, Ange?

- Tell me about it.

- Make me something to eat and it's yours.

- That's what we're talking about.

- We're talking about maleness.

- You didn't tell them you were gay, did you?

Oh, God, you're such a separatist.

He is. It's all bloody gay, gay, gay with him.

Gay gym, gay restaurant...

Gay life insurance. Don't forget that.

I hope they're spunky, these straight men of yours.
