This got me to think, Tracy (great piece, by the way!) that there is a long-standing tradition in cinema and TV of pairing attractive women with hideous-looking real life men. We’ve been conditioned to accept such pairings and that’s gotta be part of the reason why romantic sci-fi is a thing …

From Edie Falco paired with Gandolfini (Tony Soprano), to Mira Sorvino (Mighty Aphrodite) and Diane Keaton (Annie Hall) paired with Woody Allen. To every aspiring actress paired with Weinstein.

Then there is the Honeymooners, the Flinstones, King of Queens, Modern Family, …

Not to hijack your main theme —back to fish dick. Perhaps the attraction is in the highly reduced risk of STDs and unwanted pregnancy? 🤔 I mean, the worst this thing can inject you with are some omega 3 fatty acids 😌
