This is the one thing I can't seem to wrap my mind around.
The good and thorough doctor bit. I mean, the whole "looking out my backdoor" song after...he's all happy, I mean, he DID get a blow/hand job, right?
LOL All these years, and I can't see the Dude as being bisexual. I don't know why not, since I'm bisexual myself, and I'm sure I don't look the part. Whatever that part is.
But , just in case I somehow misunderstood this part of the movie; at the risk of being totally embarrassed, I gotta know, that IS what happened, right?

I don't know. I'll check it out though, but we don't have here people working in shift.  ;D

Anyhow, even if he's bisexual, that's cool, or ok, or fine, or whatever else. We are pretty cool racially but also sexually. Right?  8) Well, we are pretty cool about almost anything.  ;D
Yeah well, that's just, ya know, like, your opinion, man.

In Dudeness we abide.

Well, I mean, nobody talks about that part really, and I honestly can't come up with any other...I mean...the good and thorough doctor, as Dude says "So..the doctor" "yes what did you think this was all about" the doctor, man, let us not forget..the doctor, I mean, he did get a semen sample? and why else was Dude so happy, rocking out as he drove home after?

I mean, am I over the line here?

I have pondered this scene quite a bit, and from having seen the movie about 50 times now i believe that the doctor was going to give the dude a fertility test (check balls n prostate) by order of maude, hence her insistance on him going to see him, and her selection of him to knock her up. I believe she had planned this from the moment they met. Hence the 'thorough' doctor. Dudes just chuffed afterwards cuz the doc probs said he was mega-fertile - that or its completely unrelated and hes just happy to have his car back with his creedence, oat soda, and spliff...

The doctor re-attached the Dude's cable, after the Nihilists disconnected it. "Ve cut off your Johnson!"  The tussle in the tub was a symbolic castration. The marmot wasn't a marmot to clue us in to it's symbolic identity as the Dude's pocket weasel. The Dude was just  happy to get his Johnson back, not fruity.

My understanding of that scene is that he's trying very hard to move past what happened in the doctor's office. The doctor had done some invasive tests to check fertility, stds, and whatever else Maude might have wanted checked out before she got the Dude to help her conceive. The Dude to me seems to be surrounding himself in things he loves to help him move past the situation. Hence the Creedence, J, and oat soda. I didn't see anything sexual about it. Contrast his attitude in that scene to the deep calm he has after helping Maude conceive. Interesting interpretation though. And ya, I think as Dudeists our coolness should expand beyond race.
I don't get it. How do I sign this? Is there a special pen?

Does the female form make you uncomfortable, Whiteheart? ....The word itself makes some men uncomfortable. Vagina.

Dudes, I have read all the comments, and as much as I can't see The Dude with another male Dude......it just seems to be what was going on there!
I mean, "drop you pants" "no, it was my jaw" "drop your pants please" and Dude looks at him and then....rocking out on his car with "my back door" playing, come ON!

Actually I can see this. The nihilists caused the dude to worry about his virility and the doctor reaffirmed it.

I believer yer thinking about this is way uptight man.
Maude had the dude checked out as a potential mate. The dude
had no idea this was the case.
She had layed the ground work by hinting that the doctor was "thorough".
The dude is not Bi. At least there is no hint of it in the movie.
I would bet that he's cool with it but I don't see any sign that he is bi.
He confirms that the doctor examined him for fertility in the movie after Maude
tells him she'd trying to conceive. He realizes why she wanted him to go
to the doctor.

MAUDE
                         It increases the chances of
                         conception.

               The Dude spits some White Russian.

                                     DUDE
                         Increases?

                                     MAUDE
                         Well yes, what did you think this
                         was all about?  Fun and games?

                                     DUDE
                         Well...no, of course not--

                                     MAUDE
                         I want a child.

                                     DUDE
                         Yeah, okay, but see, the Dude--

                                     MAUDE
                         Look, Jeffrey, I don't want a partner. 
                         In fact I don't want the father to
                         be someone I have to see socially,
                         or who'll have any interest in rearing
                         the child himself.

                                     DUDE
                         Huh...

               Something occurs to him.

                                     DUDE
                         So...that doctor.

I know...and I mean, the way you determine fertility is with a sperm sample
"Is this a.....what day is this?"

Doesn't rule out doing it himself manually, and in fact the DIY is the usual way of collecting such samples.

I just finished reading the script for something I'm putting together and I can't see your inference.

I go with what Bikerdude said. The Dude is not that bothered with what happened. I have had examinations by male doctors that were personally invasive this doesn't mean I'm gay. It's part of doctor patient professional relationship. You can't accuse every gynecologist of having an affair with every patient they examine.

I think this may be a case of Freudian transference. You identify highly with the Dude therefore you are bound to over emphasise issues that build more similarities between yourself and the character.

All just my opinion of course.

WTF? Yeah?  What do you think happens when you visit Maude's doctor?  You turn Bi.  Get a new driver's license?  Stop being Jewish? WTF?

Has it occurred to you Sir that the Dude was singing on the way home (while enjoying a J, I might add) because he found out at the doctor's office that Maude wanted to have a child (but not with someone that she would have to see socially) and that he was to be the dick to help her conceive, man?

That he, the Dude, was about to get some fine socialite pussy free of charge? That he, the Dude, was about to help his new lady friend conceive, sir?

I mean, it might not be, I mean you know what I'm trying to say, that new shit has come to light and the Dude was just happy about getting laid.

Are you saying that the Dude was digging a Creedence tune and toking because he just got popped in the ass by an Arab doctor? That's just the stress talking, Whiteheart .

I don't believe he knows at this point that he's going to help her conceive man. He didn't know until after the deed was done. I still think that the Dude is self-medicating after some invasive medical examination. You don't rock out when a stranger fucks you in the ass, you destroy their car.

But seriously, I just can't see the bisexuality thing.
I don't get it. How do I sign this? Is there a special pen?
