* ADateWithRosiePalms: In his first scene, Barry admits to a colleague that his favourite sexual partner is "himself", and he finds masturbating more pleasurable than sex with any woman, including his wife.
Changed line(s) 25 (click to see context) from:
** Barry says that no sexual partner can satisfy himself more than... [[ADateWithRosiePalms himself]], and seems to regard his wife Mary as unable to truly please him. The fact he'd rather masturbate than have sex also leaves ''her'' sexually frustrated. When she leaves him, he also finds himself unable to get an erection anymore, even via masturbation.

''Your Friends & Neighbors'' is a 1998 BlackComedy/drama film, written and directed by Neil [=LaBute=]. Like his previous film ''Film/InTheCompanyOfMen'' it stars Creator/AaronEckhart, along with Creator/BenStiller, Creator/AmyBrenneman, Creator/CatherineKeener, Creator/NastassjaKinski and Jason Patric.
The film follows a pair of ordinary middle-class couples (Stiller and Keener in one, Eckhart and Brenneman in the other), neither of which is particularly happy, secure or sexually fulfilled. In search of excitement and satisfaction, the couples experiment with adultery. The couples are accompanied by a womanizing doctor (Patric) and an artist's assistant who works in a gallery (Kinski).
The film is notable for being the first film to be reviewed on Website/RottenTomatoes.
