A two-panel SMBC comic in heavy color. Panel one: at a bar, a dark-haired woman in a purple shirt tells a red-haired woman in a blue shirt, "I can't stop thinking about sex with my ex-husband." The friend advises, "Here's what you do - next time you think a sexy thought, imagine roaches crawling all over your skin." Panel two, labeled "SOON...": the woman is now at a pet store counter, where a clerk in sunglasses and a green shirt hands her a bag and says "Just fill the bag!" as she starts to ask "So what are these-". A reversed "PETS" sign confirms she's buying live roaches to act out the aversion advice literally. Votey (black-and-white sketch aftercomic): a wide-eyed man's face asks "Is this a sex thing?" and a reply bubble answers, "Everything is."
