Frasier discovers that an old bar-fly from Boston has published a book inspired by Frasier's first time having sex, which he told to him in confidence.
Tropes:
- Age-Gap Romance: The plot of the romance novel Slow Tango In South Seattle. Also Frasier's torrid liaison with his piano teacher Miss Warner when he was a teenager.
- A Man Is Always Eager: Every man mocks and congratulates Frasier on losing his virginity to his piano teacher, saying he should feel proud about his sexual encounter being with an older woman, and every woman shames him for abandoning Miss Warner after their tryst. Not once considering the inappropriate nature of the "relationship" and that he was just a teenager.
- All Women Are Lustful: Every woman who has read Slow Tango In South Seattle is obsessed with the romance novel and its author. One elderly woman excuses herself and asks her husband if he could take an extra long lunch break. Then the elderly mother of Frasier's piano teacher mistakes Frasier for an old lover and wants alone time with him.
- Carpet of Virility: Daphne claims Frasier has referred to his chest hair as his "rug of love".
- Double Standard Rape: Female on Male: Everyone finds the story of Frasier losing his virginity to his piano teacher amusing and some praise him for his first time being with an older woman. Considering the fact that she was his piano teacher and he was her student, she was in a position of authority and he was only seventeen, whatever relationship they had together was highly inappropriate.
- Hypocritical Humor: Quite possibly the best example of this trope when Fallow says that the idea of his book was given to him by God and Frasier exasperatedly says the following.Frasier: 'By God'?! Do you believe this guy's grandiosity?! I'm God and he knows it!
- Love Father, Love Son: While talking to Frasier, Bulldog recalls his first time having sex with an older woman. Of course she was a hooker and she was a birthday present for his dad.
- Mrs. Robinson: Miss Clarice Warner who seduced Frasier when he was only seventeen. Even when she is a middle aged woman, she still dates younger men.
- Only Sane Man: Of all the characters praising and mocking Frasier for losing his virginity to his piano teacher, Martin is the only man who is appropriately disgusted by the reality that an older woman had taken advantage of Frasier when he was just a teenager.
- Purple Prose: "Slow Tango In South Seattle" is apparently full of this judging by the excerpts the cast read out. After reading a few lines Frasier has some choice words to describe it.Frasier: "There are tangos that come flowing from the wine seas, from the rust of a hundred sunken ships. This is one of those dances."
Roz: Well?
Frasier: There are books that make your stomach lurch and thrust your lunch ever upwards. This is one of those books! - Special Guest: John O'Hurley as Thomas J. Fallow.
- Their First Time: Or rather Frasier's first time, as the book Slow Tango In South Seattle details him losing his virginity to his piano teacher.
