Wilson met with Asexual Guy and his wife in the clinic to discuss the lab results. Asexual Guy was amazed that Wilson even knew to look for a tumor. Wilson explained that it was Dr. House who had noticed the hormone levels in the man's blood and went to Wilson for an Oncology consult. More like rubbed my face in it. Asexual Girl was relieved to learn that there actually was a physical reason why her husband had no interest in sex, and insisted to her husband that he have the treatment done.
Her husband was not so sure, especially once Wilson explained that as the tumor shrank he would likely want to have sex. The news was overwhelming.
"You mean the treatment will make me want to have sex? What if I don't want the treatment?"
His wife was insistent. "You have a brain tumor, okay? You have to have the treatment."
Asexual Guy wasn't entirely convinced. "Okay, look - but I know who I am, okay? I'm not one of them."
Asexual Girl tried to reassure her husband. "Hey, look. We'll adjust, okay? We can go through this together."
Her husband looked at his wife askance. "You mean have sex? I can't make you do that."
Asexual Girl again tried to reassure her husband without seeming too eager. "Maybe it won't be so bad."
"It'll be terrible," her husband countered dejectedly.
Asexual Girl was undeterred. "It's actually pretty fun." She paused, choosing her words carefully. "From what I remember."
Asexual Guy looked at his wife, realization dawning. "But you said that - "
Asexual Girl interrupted him mid-sentence. "I know, I know. But I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. And I knew that meant making certain sacrifices. But…a girl has needs."
Asexual Guy stared at his wife as if seeing her for the first time. His whole world view had just been upended, and he was completely at a loss about what was going to happen next. Wilson stepped in, reassuring both of them that while things would be awkward and uncomfortable at first, eventually it would benefit their marriage and serve to make it stronger. Asexual Guy took some extra convincing, but by the time Wilson was finished counseling them both husband and wife seemed considerably more comfortable about the next phase of their marriage.
