A four-panel comic (plus an aftercomic). Panel 1: A balding father tells his son, "Son, it's time I gave you 'the sex talk.'" The son replies, "Dad, I already know." Panel 2: The father explains that "the sex talk" is a sex maneuver in which you spend the entire sexual encounter talking. Panel 3: The son asks, "And women like that?" The father insists they love it, claiming that even though women say it's "annoying" or "bizarre," they secretly love it. Panel 4: The son says, "Thanks, Dad." Panel 5: In a darkened room, an offscreen mother asks, "Did you give Billy the birth control talk?" and the father answers, "Pretty much." The joke is that the father has just sabotaged his son with bad advice instead of giving real guidance. Aftercomic (votey): An extreme close-up of the father grinning wickedly, with a speech bubble reading, "The secret of good parenting is lies."
