The View Reveals That Barbara Walters Is An Expert On Premature Ejaculation

Well, The View panel took the opportunity to get reeeeeal personal this morning while discussing an interview with 7-months-pregnant Jessica Simpson, who was very candid about how being with child has improved her sex life. “That’s why I keep getting pregnant!” Elisabeth Hasselbeck joked, and when the panel raised the question of whether or not it had to do with heightened sensitivity, Whoopi Goldberg told the audience “then I must be ever-pregnant.” Oh boy! I hope someone in the audience this morning had pearls they could clutch.

Of course, Barbara Walters was not to be outdone, and launched into a highly unnecessary but completely hilarious story about a program she used to be on called “Not For Women Only” that did a feature on sexual dysfunction “in order to get ratings.” Not content with that amount of honesty alone, she continued “So I became an expert on premature ejaculation,” at which point the rest of the co-hosts started screaming and wondering out loud just how scandalized their producers must be at that moment. Undeterred, Walters pressed on, recalling the time that she was approached on a plane by a “young man” who asked her for more information on premature ejaculation, before being screamed at by a flight attendant for daring to talk to Barbara Walters in such an explicit manner. Fortunately (unfortunately?) neither the panel nor the audience learned what happened after that. Watch the clip here via ABC:
