I want to bring up Chris' personal identification as an "adult" and how this particular event demonstrates his reoccurring duality when it comes to being a child or a grown-up. Chris operates and functions almost entirely as a child, by choice, and has since high school graduation. For the most part Chris rejects adulthood. He has made a few concessions and even found himself actually identifying as an adult, mostly due to a strong desire of his. That desire was sex, and it led to the gooch piercing. Sex and "adult entertainment," whether it's Seth McFarlane cartoons or gory video games, are really the only things that matter to Chris outside of prolonging a carefree childhood. In all actuality, he handles his adult desires much like a small child would. He fantasizes and roleplays alone, with the help of toys that represent the adult role he hopes to "one day" fill when he's already aging into a physical decline, weakening his chances of actualizing his sexual desires. The gooch piercing is yet another toy, or perhaps an accessory to the larger "toy" being himself. He's fashioning himself into the girl he has not been awarded, the "toy" Santa has never brought him, and now his "girl" has a clit. We all know that there's a very small chance that Chris will ever have a healthy, lasting sexual relationship that doesn't involve

and sometimes I wonder how aware Chris is of his loneliness lasting his entire life. By becoming a girl in his own eyes, will Chris eventually desire girls less as a way to cope with loneliness? Considering his current "girlfriend" is seemingly absent from Chris' actual life, is Chris even aware that he has no idea how to have an actual relationship with someone who isn't just a collection of e-mails and distant phone calls?
