Yeah, yeah lil turd, still waiting for those time stamps to quotes that don't exist...

LOTS of MDLers lie and agree with lies every day in every thread. That's why you have 18 likes on your fake, made-up, lying liar comment above.
LOTS of MDLers are scared to death of sex and anything connected to sex; that's another reason for your 18 likes.

It's entertaining that you think 18 MDL likes is a big deal, a badge of legitimacy, a blue ribbon validating your worth. lol

You deliberately made up the quote, and put it in fake quotation marks, "but I can't give some sexual needs for you..." Quotation marks are used to repeat words that were actually spoken by a character or someone else, not to mislead readers into thinking someone said something they did not say.

Basically, you're a liar.

You're not insightful or thoughtful, and have some kind of sexual hangup that drives you to make excuses for Fujisawa's sadistic behavior, so I'll be trying not to waste more time on you.

Keen insight.

Thing is, even if he is asexual or phobic, the human male body has sexual functions/needs that would express themselves regardless of whether or not he's having actual sex with another person. At the very least, he would be having frequent wet dreams which are the means by which the male body relieves itself of pent-up/built-up semen. And given a phobia for neatness and order, Kazuaki would find a wet dream "messy" indeed. :)

She gets off on denying him sex. Maybe controlling him that way and knowing she's inflicting frustration makes her feel powerful. She's a sadist. I hope we learn WHY she is a sadist, but perhaps that quality is simply built in from birth.

Even in Japan, would someone in Kazuaki's position really go a year without sex without demanding to know what the hell is going on? As far as I'm concerned, her cruel, repeated refusals of physical intimacy are absolutely permission to go find gratification elsewhere. Not everything has to be put into words, especially in a society like Japan, where people are so reticent to discuss intimate matters.

She has made her position very clear. I see him as having every right to have a full-time affair on the side if he so chooses. Not out of revenge or spite, nor sought in haste, but someone dependable, thoughtful, concerned for his feelings, etc. Finding that person would likely lead to the dissolution of the Kazuaki/Kaori relationship, but that would be a good thing. OR...things could just go on like that for years if all three people concerned were fine with it, even if Kazuaki/Kaori never discuss it.

See a therapist.

This is horrendously bad. Can't believe it's a Strongberry product. Their shows are normally top-notch. Couldn't finish the first episode. Stupid dialogue/tropes/cliches/predictable everything, no extras on campus, and worst of all, every one of the pretty boys is wearing the same pink lip gloss.

This looks, sounds, and feels like one of those fluffy Turds Out Of Thailand (TOOT).

Dropped.

1/10

Why do you think it is that Kazuaki didn't explicitly say "I can't give you a sexual relationship, though I can give you everything else?" Because he never does say that. He keeps it vague, as in "the relationship you want," which could mean a lot of things. And yet he acts jealous when he sees that Sei is getting attention from elsewhere. At this point, it makes no sense, which is why I'm theorizing things like micropenises and missing testicles.

But even if he were asexual, even if he has no genitalia, he could still watch Sei jerk off as he proposed, which would be somewhat satisfying for Sei. But he won't even do that much. In fact, he acted panicked and disgusted. Something weird's up with that dude.

Strongberry heals me.
The excellence of the writing/acting/direction/cinematography in most of its films is first-rate.

Private Lessons is one of its best.
9/10

Only Strongberry could develop an off-beat concept like this and make it work. I laughed a lot. Love the deadpan deliveries and references to ancient and contemporary cultural markers. Even though no physical intimacy is shown on screen, not even a real kiss, the affection among these four immortals is palpable.

Bravo, SB!

9/10

Killjoy.

Anyone else suspect Kazuaki's problem is that he has a micro-penis and doesn't want anyone to see it? Teeny-tiny "micropenises" are a real medical condition (see below link). Or maybe he has no balls or something?

https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17955-micropenis

There is an excellent Japanese feature film titled "Wandering," starring the always great Matsuzaka Tori, in which his character has a micropenis, which is the source of his fear of intimacy. Good film.

You're making stuff up. Kazuaki never specifically said their relationship would not include sex. Please provide the time stamp to where he said that. Thanks.

Fujisawa never said anything about sex being withheld. You are making stuff up. "I can't give some sexual needs for you..." is a totally made-up quote. He said something vague like "I can't give you the kind of relationship you want..." He was NOT specific about what that meant. Sei should have asked for clarification but didn't do so.

If you disagree, please provide the time stamp to where Fujisawa spoke your made up quote. If you can't do that, then please refrain from inventing dialogue to fit your preferred version of what's going on in this story.

Bitch is for sure sleazing around around behind his back. "I'll sleep at my parents' house tonight...", my ass. I wonder how many guys she's doing? What a weirdo. I kind of hate her for the way she's manipulating/using Kazuaki as some sort of pretty picture for everyone on the outside. What a fake.

I like this show. Sexual frustration and other sexual problems are common in long-term relationships. Seeing the topic receiving the attention it deserves without judgment or prudery is refreshing.

That Kazuaki has no gay sexual experience to this point in his life is going to make things feel extra spicy when the inevitable occurs. I hope Sei is gentle with him. :)

I ran screaming from that one.

I apologized. If you're too uptight to accept it, I do not care.

And yes, I am deeply troubled. I am insane. The nurses here at the asylum removed my straitjacket for 15 minutes so I could write this reply to you, but once they saw your comments and realized how pompous you are, they gave me 15 more. Thanks!

Lily Alice: Not only are you a terrible writer, but you and MDL are part of the problem.

You couldn't bring yourself to report these legal filings without REHASHING and spreading the "scandal" you helped develop and propagate in the first place, huh? You're disgusting. You refuse to get it.

"Earlier last year, Lee Hye Ri was embroiled in a scandal with her ex, Ryu Jun Yeol, with whom she had been in a relationship for about seven years, and who was seeing Han So Hee. With Han So Hee's involvement, many suspected she was the reason for Lee Hye Ri and Ryu Jun Yeol's separation. This led to rumors and malicious comments circulating online

'Notably, in October of the same year, a rumor spread that Han So Hee herself was one of Hye Ri's malicious commenters, which exacerbated the wave of negative comments directed at Hye Ri."

You actually quote the unproven rumors, thus spreading them further. I hope Lee Hye's lawyers come after you, Lily Alice.

You people are UNBELIEVABLE.

Jake Hsu is a great talent.

Rewatching this for the first time in three years or so. Just completed episode 1.

I know Tang Yi is the heartthrob here but it's A Fei I find myself leering at. Nothing sexier than goofy/sexy. :D
