I have a new guilty pleasure. It involves two men. They are both doctors. They both are exciting and make me think about naughty things. They are both gorgeous. Yes, this is a two at once kind of thing. Life is so sweet sometimes. I am sure you want to hear all the details.

Yes they are good looking but it’s more then that. Oh sure, I’m a fan of a hard body as much as the next girl but folks who know me know that it’s not the physical that tends to attract me. Physical is just icing. I love the cake. It’s the exploration of human psyche that tends to do it for me and these two keep me guessing. Yes, I am one of those rare women attracted more by personality then looks. I just didn’t want you think I’m only in this for the eye candy. I’m not. It’s deeper then that. I mean really – do you really think I’m that shallow?

But you are probably thinking… who cares! Get back to the details woman! Ok Ok. You are not very patient. So let’s talk cake.

One is a bad boy. A sex addict. A narcissist. And my, oh my, he has every right to be one. He looks like he comes straight from the pages of GQ. (Sorry, it’s just the icing is so exquisite, it really did deserve special mention!) He’s a cliché in every sense of the word. A surgeon. An arrogant plastic surgeon. Pretty boy. Pretty boy who drives Lamborghinis and appreciates luxury. A man who objectifies women. But at least he objectifies women with great boob jobs.

The other man is also a surgeon. He’s more traditional. Married. Two kids. Ambitious but conflicted. Good father. Sensitive and more in touch with his feelings then most guys I know. He is every woman’s “need to be needed” kind of guy. Loves his wife but has a gentle longing that hangs about his neck and flashes needy and love me like a neon sign. He’s supposed to be the “good one” but has just enough character flaws to keep things interesting.

What is this affair (of the mind) you ask? NipTuck. Season 1 is out on DVD. It’s something along the lines of soft-core dramatic vanity porn. It’s engaging. And not just because the first six episodes covered everything from cheerleaders who discover they are lesbians (I thought my husband was going to jump for joy when they actually showed them on the bed feeling each other up in their cheerleading outfits) to a swinging sex club to an illicit affair - or the fact that every episode has some gratuitous hot sex. Lot’s of forbidden on this show. I think that’s part of the appeal. But it’s more in what isn’t as obvious. It’s more in the moments you think… Damn - my life is so boring and now I can recognize its ok to be glad it is!

I’m as engrossed in it as I was in Sex in the City, Sopranos, and Six Feet Under. It’s the perfect escape. I guess other people like it too because it won a Golden Globe this year for Best New Drama. Really, it’s hard to believe this is on regular network TV. It seems like an HBO or Showtime production. But it’s on FX.

You can rent this on Netflix. I’m setting my digital recorder to catch season 2. Season 3 should start soon. I highly recommend it and you too can savor a guilty pleasure that won’t get you in trouble with your spouse.
