"The Bet"

Did the bet include masterbation only, or could you have sex and just not masterbate? It seems you would have to abstain completely or the one having sex would be at a tremendous advantage. I don't think they stipulated that on the show. Could have been a good loophole for someone, but it seemed none of them had the opportunity at the time.

No one cares, that's the point of the show; stupid things that go on every day in your life and you never notice the humour until someone points it out.

Interesting. Good loophole yes but would have entirely ruined the show'

It seems that Seinfeld tried to win the bet by convincing the virgin that he was dating to have sex with him. He said something about it when he was extremly agitated. BTW: People who have sex sometimes still masturbate.

BTW, who won the bet? I know Kramer went first, then Elaine.... Was it jerry or George?

Georgie Boy did. (when he was a hand model he said 'I won a contest')

-Simonfeld d:]

It was George. He later bragged about it when he was hand modeling.

I was always operating under the impression that they could not masturbate. Having sex was allowed, as indicated by Jerry's attempt to go to bed with the Virgin and Elaine's desire to meet up with JFK Jr. However, when these plots did not come to term, as it were, their night's sleep was more than a little, shall we say, restless? :)

As for your claim that the person who might have been having sex would have had a big advantage, I would naturally agree. However, at the point that the bet was made, none of the gang were in the position that they would be able to have sex.

The bet was only about masturbation.

The fact that none of them were getting any sex only helped out the bet and provided for a more tense and stressful time.
