Doctor Sex Rides Again

Well, here we go again - another request from a TV researcher relating to an entirely fictional story in The Sleaze. This time around it is Doctor Sex, an everyday tale of sex addiction. Now, I must admit that I actually couldn't remember a great deal about this one (apart from the fact that it is a nominal rewrite of an earlier story called Sex Addicts which I was never happy with and which I'd never archived. In the event, very little of the original survived beyond the basic theme and the characters of the rival sex therapists), and had to go back and re-read it. Whilst it keeps up a reasonably serious tone and isn't as obviously surreal as some other stories, I still can't believe that anyone could mistake for a real news story. Anyway, here's the text of the e-mail I received (once again, the name of the researcher and the TV company have been omitted):

Hi there am doing some research into sex addiction and came across your article about Bill Okra and Doctor Sex. I would love to get hold of either of these men to chat to them about their experiences. Can you let me know how you got hold of them to speak to them or if you have any contact details? I tried googling them but with no luck.Thanks .... would be very grateful.

Personally, I'd have been more surprised if a search on google had turned up anything about the likes of Okra and Co. Re-reading the story, I thought the giveaway that it was satire was when 'Doctor Sex' himself started giving a Marxist interpretation of sex addiction and started calling for a redistribution of sexual energy as the rich and famous were getting a disproportionate share...

I've actually half a mind to reply to this, perhaps posing as sex addict Bill Okra - some might say that playing a sex-obsessed man who reads three porn magazines and masturbates at least six times a day would require no acting effort on my part. Or perhaps I should don a white coat, grey wig and bizarre accent to portray 'Doctor Sex'. Alternatively, if any real sex addicts are reading this and want to appear on TV, get in touch and I'll pass your details along!
