‘Supernatural’ Aftergasm: Is Dean a Sex Addict?

I’m growing a little worried about Dean. At first, his seemingly juvenile obsession with porn and sex was amusing, a harmless little hobby. But lately, it’s taking on a disturbing new tone.

In last night’s episode of Supernatural, Dean proudly boasted that three of the female cheerleaders at the high school they were investigating were legal. If he discovered this through some normal method, it might be OK, but since he was snooping in the principal’s office for dead kids, it means he actively chose to seek out the ages of the cheerleaders. It was a funny line, but it’s also kind of gross.

If that’s not enough, the flashbacks also let us know that, even in high school, he was calling his female teachers “sugar” and hooking up with multiple girls in the janitor’s closet. I think it’s about time someone sat him down and had an intervention.

Dean Winchester is a sexaholic. He loves sex and porn, thinking about sex and porn, and talking about sex and porn. If you had to list Dean’s three favorite things in the world, two of them would be breasts.

My bigger question is whether this is the writers’ little joke, or is it a reflection of what Jensen Ackles brings to the role? That may sound silly, but on another sci-fi series, The X-Files, Fox Mulder had a bit of a porn obsession. As we now know, David Duchovny went on to star in Californication and checked himself into rehab for sex addiction.

Not only did he play a sex addict on TV, but he really was one. I’m not saying Jensen is necessarily like his character in this respect, but Dean’s porn and sex obsession is becoming a bit over the top. At least we know he draws the line somewhere: at gay S&M sex.

Next week, it looks like Dean’s sex drive will go into overdrive when Supernatural brings on sexy siren strippers who convince men to do their bidding. Hopefully a bad sexual encounter with strippers will be just what the doctor ordered to calm down Dean’s libido.

I didn’t really mind the sex stuff but it did become another epi where I got a little frustrated with Sam again. It would have been a Sam-centric episode I could like until the last scenes with young Sam and Dean. Throughout the whole episode there were scenes where young Sam got praised by a teacher or Barry. In that last scene with young Sam and Dean, Sam is getting high-fives and Dean is walking down the corridor looking defeated. I’m not saying hooking up with two different girls deserved a chewing out from Amanda but what she said got to him. It just reminded me that Dean usually gets the short end of the stick and Sam always gets told he’s a good kid. If Dean got that kind of reinforcement from his father as well as teachers and peers at an early age, he wouldn’t have a problem being a one woman kinda guy and meeting the parents. I think that Amanda girl could have been good for him if he hadn’t ruined it by hooking up with that other girl. Also, I’d love to see Dean be good at something else other than the job. Something artistic like music, drawing, writing, etc, something that shows he sacrificed something he might have enjoyed and was good at instead of it always seeming like Sam’s the one that sacrificed his happiness because of responsibilities to the ‘family business’. If anything, Dean sacrificed the most in that family!!!!Still loved the episode though. Dean offered many funny moments that were needed!! Young Dean did a good job too with all the Dean mannerisms. LOVE THEM AND LOVE THE SHOW!!

. . . . I actually felt sorry for Dean when Amanda was talking to him after she caught him in the janitor’s closet with another girl. I didn’t feel sorry for him because Amanda caught him, he kinda deserved it for kissing another girl, but I did feel sorry for him because what she said got to him and was very true. His reaction to this made me get teary-eyed a little. It was so sad he put up that wall of defense after she finished. I feel sorry that he has to act like that because of the way he was treated by his father and by everyone else. If they could have stayed there longer and if he hadn’t ruined it by kissing that other girl, I bet that Amanda would have helped him soften a bit and if he met her parents, I would have loved for him to have been accepted by them and maybe find a kind of relationship with them especially the father that he didn’t get from home. Maybe he wouldn’t have to put up that wall that he still sometimes uses!!

The guy who wrote it just has to go and stop posting shit. He’s not only don’t take the character and the show he thinks it’s ok to offend a real person and refuses to apologize. He sucks
