Howard says he learned that he really didn’t enjoy seeing that. (Sal and Richard getting jerked off.)
He is feeling shame now and convincing himself he didn’t like it.
That's what it's all about; shame. Shame and sadism, but it's a particularly hideous, narcissistic, passive-aggressive version of it.
All these nauseating "bits" tell me that lookin' at dicks and gay porn by his lonesome isn't doing it for him. If he's paying to watch Scheal Team Scheks wrassle in their underpants, that's not doing it for him, either.
He's needing more and more shameful-ugly gayness to get off.
You know how they say serial killers often start out by torturing small animals? Howard's the gay, Jewish ******* Jeffrey Dahmer that's moving on from crushing frogs with rocks.
He can't contain, or even help, his gay.
And the shame-weight of it all has become so heavy, he's enlisted his staff to help carry it.
Like with the listening thread of the fist fest show, reading this felt like reading the transcript of a gay sexual assault. This is borderline criminal, imo. And in the court of human decency, you can throw out the "borderline" part.
I'm just astounded at how unconscious he is about it all, and who he thinks he's fooling. The diva-bubble is impenetrable, apparently.
Now that Howard has learned at age 65 that he doesn’t enjoy watching men get jerked off, does that mean he’ll never do anything like this on his show again?
FF to 2-3 weeks from now, when
they'll do Howard will insist upon a similar bit while playing it off like it was somebody else's idea, and Robin will mention that he said this, and Howard will snicker and say "I guess I didn't learn my lesson!"

“Alright boys, I think you’ve done enough sexual stuff today...” Howard says.
At what workplace would you ever hear this?
I don’t believe Benjy’s job was ever in jeopardy. I think Howard wishes he could fire him but leans so heavily on him, he wouldn’t know what to do.
Is it a whole thing?
Should I even ask?
