Discovery Channel’s show “Strange Sex” is one of those shows that you don’t want to to watch, and have no intention of watching, until you’re flipping through the digital cable menu and there it is, nestled in between QVC’s Ode to Sequins and a Two and a Half Men marathon. And since you already have your monthly supply of sequins and T&aHM hasn’t been funny since that kid received an ugly dose of puberty, you switch on “Strange Sex” and hope you don’t catch anyone with a cheese-grater fetish.

In a recent episode, we learn about “Sexual Anorexia,” a disease that sounds, on an awful scale, somewhere between a stubbed toe and anal cancer. Sexual Anorexia is defined as “an obsessive state in which the physical, mental and emotional task of avoiding sex dominates one’s life,” according to SexHelp.com creator Dr. Patrick Carnes. It’s just as much a disease as sexual addiction, as the sufferer generally completely retracts from normal human intimacy.

On the episode, Cory Schortzman (above, looking like a cartoon movie villain) tells his story, discussing that while he refused to have sex with his wife, he masturbated incessantly, saying, “I could objectify anything, anyone, [at] anytime.” Which leads me to imagine he had a very hard getting things done. I mean, how are you supposed to do the grocery shopping when all you can think about is how that sourdough bread bowl might feel on your balls?

Needless to say, the episode ended with Cory recovering, saving his marriage and starting his own sexual addiction clinic in Colorado. He continues to look like a character out of a Dreamworks movie.
