I don’t think she ever would (openness and honesty about sex are sorta her whole thing), but Roz has the opportunity here to fill Joyce’s head with a bunch of hilarious misconceptions about what Joe’s into in bed.
“Oh yeah, he loves being spanked with a My Little Pony, preferably Fluttershy, though Rarity will do in a pinch. And don’t forget to fill your socks with banana pudding, he’ll want a snack break halfway through.”
Agreed, it would be against her nature, plus judging by her last interaction with Joe, she seems to actually be pretty encouraging to Joe and wanting this to work out for him. All things considered, she seems genuinely fairly fond of Joe.
I’m halfway expecting Joyce to ask Roz to attend Joe-yce’s first sex session to provide guidance. After all, Dorothy provided how-to-do-masturbation guidance for Joyce’s first time. Why shouldn’t Joyce think of asking Roz for how-to-bang-Joe guidance for her first time? 😀
Lev is a Hebrew name meaning “heart”. Because of course Joe is secretly full of heart. I’m sure he rarely gives people his middle name, but has given it to Joyce.

So a bit of synchronicity with Rabbi Loew of Prague, whose name did mean lion.
Is Carnal Congress like regular Congress but they have sex? like, in Congress? like all the time?? Or are they like regular Congress, but they only regulate sex?
Clif
Whichever way you define it, it’s got to be an improvement over regular Congress.
If only it could have been there with Becky! That would have been poggers.
I’m pretty sure no one else uses that slang, which means that it’s all mine now!!
I mean, that *is* the awkward part in this situation.
Clif
Awkward for whom?
LiamKav
“Being embarrassed at having seen someone you’re currently talking to naked” isn’t reliant on sexual attraction, especially for someone raised as Joyce was.
Big Z
This, this right here.
thejeff
Especially when that naked was in a sexual context, but Joyce would be embarrassed to even walk in on someone changing.
I am kind of warming to her a bit more. I have never hated her like many do, but she’s a lot more likable when she’s staying in her lane, and I am kind of getting that vibe from panel 2.
I’m not sure it’s so much staying in her lane so much as she’s had the previous conversation with Joe and knows full well what lane Joyce is aiming for and will accept no detours.
I’m thinking Panel 2 is more along the lines of “I know this conversation with Joyce will be five different kinds of unintended awful coming out of her mouth simultaneously, so I’m vetoing that.”
Exactly. “I’m neither motivated nor qualified to guide her through that minefield. But in sexuality, I am definitely both. I’m gonna wingmate for this wingnut.”
Honestly I love Joyce completely disregarding felling jealous of Roz and go ask her for tips instead. Roz is basically this couple sex guru at this point.

mutual carnal congress sounds like something Roz would be a shoo-in for in Robin’s place
Dan
I endorse Joyce for mutual carnal congress! Get out the vote!
P.S. pardon my chonky fingers’ accidental report,

I admit it, Yumi. I laughed.

Be even funnier if it’s the truth but Joyce assumes Roz is messing with her.

“He’s into pegging, find a strap-on.”
“Oh, right! I think I’m like a size six.”
“Hah?!”

So now I think Roz like, immediately clocked Joe defensive ‘sex monster’ obfuscation for what it was
zee
Damn rarity? That sounds more like pegging
Animedingo
Its like watching a deer walk into a lions mouth
Clif
The deer is Joe?
Reltzik
The deer is Joyce, and the lion’s mouth is “talking about sex with Roz”.
Morleuca
ain’t nothin wrong with sex with Roz
Theluxland
This will go horribly right or horribly wrong.
In both cases it will be horrible.
SpongegirlCircleskirt
Which is horribly great!

Sirksome
His middle name is Lev?
NGPZ
It’s a Hebrew name, meaning “heart” or “emotional” ^^
Taffy
Joseph “Feelings” Rosenthal
Hazel
It’s a Russian cognate of Leo. Probably via Yiddish. Might be a grandfather’s name or something.

Along with his heart.
ValdVin
I wonder if Roz knew that. It is in some cases a certain intimacy, and that is a Joyce goal.
zee
It’s sick as fuck honestly
NGPZ
Carnal Congress — cuz they be moving north south east and west all over each other XD
M!a
That would be a carnal compass. Which they shouldn’t need; Joe points north at all times. xD
Effie

Clif

ValdVin
It has to be, figuring that in carnal congress all parties involved want to be there and accomplish something.
Reltzik
No, carnal here means meat. It’s a Congress that specializes in pork barrels.
So, yes, like regular Congress.
Devin
And the filibuster is bad here too

“First you should start with the Representatives position. After a minute or two, then switch to the Senators position.”

Your bi is showing again, Joyce

If only it could have been there with Becky! That would have been poggers.

jeffepp
Becky doesn’t wear glasses.
DJTsurugi
but imagine if Dorothy was into the idea of sharing Joyce and Joe… ~<3
Heavensrun
The problem with Becky is that Joyce saw her as family, and you don’t (literally) eff with family.
Queen Anthai
Those are practically lesbian flag colors on her puffy vest there
anonymsly
In what reality is Joyce a lesbian though? Not this one, with her exclusively male attraction-blushies.
Leorale
Becky once pointed out that Joyce’s wardrobe gives a lot of false positives.
Queen Anthai
That’s why it’s funny. 🙂
jeffepp
Her denial sure does seem to be centered on the female party, doesn’t it.
Masumi
I mean, that *is* the awkward part in this situation.

june gloom
Came here to say this. She’s on the verge of exploding with barely-repressed bisexuality.
thejeff
What in this scene makes you think that? I really don’t see it.
Schpoonman
Shippers don’t take things like “context” or “facts” into account, you know that.
Michael Steamweed
“Context”? “Facts”? What are these words?
Heavensrun
Most people would not be focused on the appearance of and noises made by the participant that they *aren’t* attracted to.
She is peculiarly conscious of the noises *Roz* made.
Puppeteer Nessus
Where was Roz when I needed her
Clif
With the floating timeline, the answer keeps changing.
Nedlum
Where was Roz when the Westfold fell? Where was Roz when Joyce’s enemies closed in around her?

Nono
I mean her only other option was what, Malaya?
Yumi
Well, a lot of people would just not ask people their partner has previously had sex with about it.
DailyBrad
Joe has banged plenty more than those two, but yeah, she wouldn’t really know anyone else that added to his tally list, I guess.
Of those two, Roz is certainly the better option.
Masumi
She’s still an option for that first question tho
