I only heard a snippet of their conversation, but it was definitely enough to catch my attention.

girl: …I don’t abstain because I don’t like sex.

guy: Uh-huh.

girl: I mean, I like sex a lot. I actually used to be a sex addict…

Okay, then. Good to know. Now what in the world is the poor guy supposed to do with that information? She clearly has no idea what kind of havok a statement like that can wreak for a guy. It reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Elaine anonymously records racy things on Jerry’s tape recorder. George finds out that it was her, which leads him to be, um, strongly attracted to Elaine and subsequently very, very frustrated.
