Sarah Silverman Says She Was Cool With Louis CK Jerking It In Front Of Her... SOMETIMES

Sarah Silverman appeared on the October 22 episode of Howard Stern’s SiriusXM radio show and was inevitably asked about her friend, Louis C.K., who has started making stand-up comedy appearances in New York City a year after admitting to sexual misconduct. C.K. came forward last fall to say the claims that he masturbated in front of several female comics were true, and Silverman told Stern that C.K. masturbated in front of her, albeit with her consent.

“I know I’m going to regret saying this,” Silverman said. “I’ve known Louis forever, I’m not making excuses for him, so please don’t take this that way. We are peers. We are equals. When we were kids, and he asked if he could masturbate in front of me, sometimes I’d go, ‘Fuck yeah I want to see that!’… It’s not analogous to the other women that are talking about what he did to them. He could offer me nothing. We were only just friends. Sometimes, yeah, I wanted to see it, it was amazing. Sometimes I would say, ‘Fucking no, gross,’ and we got pizza.”

“I know I’m going to regret saying this” is such a terrible way to begin a sentence. I’ve been there. I regret saying that I didnt see a real tit until I was 19 and right after that I broke up with the girl. Cant be showing your tits to a man of the cloth. It’s not ok.

Additionally, I’m not too sure I stay friends with someone who asks me if they can jerk off in front of me. Of all the new areas of porn like stepfamily shit, I’m surprised dudes jerking off has taken off. Seems like no one would want to watch that more than once. Once? Sure. I’d watch just about anything one time just to have it in the ole storytelling tool belt but several times? Couldn’t be me.

I think the part that makes people upset about Sarah’s story is that there were people who weren’t given a choice to see what ole Ricky Gervais describes as the grossest penis on Earth.

He just started jerking (allegedly) his dick in front of them and made them feel trapped. You wanna watch your buddy jerk his dick until it bleeds and then go get a slice of pizza…that’s on you. It was your choice. For many people with ole Louis, it wasnt their choice (allegedly). It was forced. Sarah knew that and that’s why she was right and should probably regret saying what she did no matter how “amazing” Louis’ masturbation skills were.
