In the hunt for sperm, we¡¯re treated to the image of a man masturbating behind a screen, The Office 1-5 DVD Box setcomplete with back-lighting, while the women wait, eyes averted, on the other side of the divider.Mad Men DVD Box Set Whose idea of lesbian erotica is that? In my experience, straight men, not lesbians, fantasize about jerking off in front of a couple of women. And that¡¯s a big flaw of the show: It is aimed at straight men.
