In one of the drunk clips @Shush posted earlier Nick talks about all of his accomplishments at forty-one, and how he has about fourteen good years left, and he's gonna spend them having fun.I think they turned to sex out of boredom and because they have money. Idle hands and all that. Most of the fun is in the struggle and they don’t have to if the Trust Fund shit is right.
One of the accomplishments he lists is his career, which isn't over and isn't unruinable. Another is his kids, which also aren't fully formed, finished projects and also can still be ruined. You would think they'd spend their free time and money with their kids, teaching and spending time with them. Or baking. Or doing yard work. So many options, besides which there's charity they could be doing.
Its like Nick starts having fun when its at the nth degree, as in once he's drunk, once he's high, once he's having sex, once he's getting hit on and groped and ogled. Can he even have regular fun anymore? Is regular life no longer enjoyable? Is his family life so miserable he has to be wacked out of his mind to function?
Anyway another from those clips is how drunk Nick is. I grew up around alcoholics; I know that slurring bombastic manner, and that toddlerlike confidence that what you labor to say is factual, interesting or clever to the hearer. It works when you're both drunk, but not when just one side is. That's probably why swingers drink so much, each substance provides another layer of goggles between their senses and reality. Works to dullen memory too.
