But you're not a Buddhist.
Yes, I am, Mom.

What does that have
to do with anything?
You can be interested in this stuff,
but you could never really be it.
We're from an entirely
different world.
Okay, well, you call
yourself a Christian,
but you weren't born in Bethlehem.
But everyone I know is a Christian.
My parents were Christians.

like, to see if we can
become better people?
No. What?

I became insatiable.
- RICK: Mm-hmm.
- And, uh
You know, after about a
thousand nights like that,
you start to lose it.
I started wondering, where
am I going with this?
W why do I feel this need
to fuck all these women?
What is desire?
The form of this cute Asian girl,
why does it have such a grip on me?
'Cause she's the opposite of me?
She gonna complete me in some way?
I realized that I could
fuck a million women,

One night I took home some girl,
turned out to be a ladyboy,
which I'd done before, but this time,
instead of fucking the
ladyboy, the ladyboy fucked me.
(SOFT DREAMY MUSIC PLAYING) ♪
And it was kinda magical.
And I got in my head that
what I really wanted,
was to be one of these Asian
girls, getting fucked
by me and to feel that.
Uh-huh.
So I put out an ad, looking for a
White guy, my age, to
come over and fuck me.
Found a guy looked a lot like me.
Then I put on some lingerie
and perfume, made myself
look like one of these girls, and
I thought I looked pretty hot.
And then this guy came over
and railed the shit out of me,
then I got addicted to that.
Some nights, three, four
guys would come over,
and rail the shit out of me.
Some I even had to pay.
And at the same time,
I'd hire an Asian girl
to just sit there and
watch the whole thing.
I'd look in her eyes
while some guy was fucking
me, and I'd think
"I am her and I'm fucking me."
Mm-hmm.
Hey, we all have our
Achilles' heel, man,
you know.
Where does it come from?
Why are some of us attracted
to the opposite form?
- Yeah.
- And some of us the same?
Sex is a poetic act. It's a metaphor.
Metaphor for what? Are we our forms?
Am I a middle-aged White
guy on the inside, too?
Or inside
could I be an Asian girl?
Right.
I don't know.
Guess I was trying to
fuck my way to the answer.
Then I realized I gotta
I gotta stop with the drugs,
the girls, the You
know, trying to be a girl.
I got into Buddhism,
which is all about,
you know, spirit versus
form, detaching from self,
getting off the never-ending carousel
of lust and suffering.

Being celibate, though, that's
