Votey:
The same bearded man speaks (sketch style).

A black-haired woman lies in bed next to a bearded, shirtless man. He lectures her: "In order for sex to happen, you have to complete half of sex. Then, half of the remainder, then half of that. You can keep halving, but you will never reach full consummation." A caption reads: "Zeno proves that he is still a virgin" -- a joke applying Zeno's dichotomy paradox (infinite halving never reaches the goal) to sex. Votey: a rough sketch of the same man saying, "We don't need protection because you can never finish a pregnancy," extending the paradox gag.
