For some reason they were talking about this and Joe said he lost his virginity at age of 9. He thinks it worth bragging points or something, but its really just so vile and disgusting. I cant believe they even talked about that in the first place, and more shocked that Bravo would even air that footage. At least he could have just said 16 or 18 or something that most sane adults would say regardless if its truth or not.
I think he acts the way he does because he was exposed to sex at such a young age. I know multiple people that were exposed to sex at an early age and they act very similarly to Joe. It becomes very normal to almost obsess and think and talk about sex all the time.
You're kidding right? We knew what sex was back in the 60's! Erections were possible early, but resolutions were not at hand (no pun intended)! I used to like the Gorgas so much; not anymore! They are not entertaining me in the least!
TMI including the part where Tre walked in on him doing the deed as well. She mentioned she kept that info for leverage. So am I to surmise that nobody is above her body count if she gets mad at them?

It has taken me this long to even post about this. Nine-years-old? Seriously? Call me a prude or whatever you like, but that wasn't in the least bit funny or cute to me. I found that to be reprehensible. If his "partner" was even a year older than he, she should be locked up. I don't even have the words to express how terrible that was to hear. A nine-year-old having sex. At no other time in the history of this show, have I hoped with such urgency that this was a lie or at the very least, embellishment.

He is absolutely disgusting. I have watched with disgust how he talks about sex on the show with all the reverence of a wild ape. Talking about how hard his father used to give it to his mother.....sexualizing his wife, Melissa, on camera in the most gratuitous way....and now talking proudly of having sex at 9 yrs old, joyfully exclaiming that it's because they're 'old school Italian.' GTFO with this crap...
These are the reasons that it makes me uncomfortable when he starts telling his daughter how beautiful she is, because the man simply has no boundaries when it comes to inappropriateness.
He is the epitome of everything that's wrong with the latest trend of hyper-masculinity and male dominant culture. He is the poster child for it.
I still can't get over how disturbing it was to hear that. I don't call that losing his manhood. I call it losing his childhood and that's much, much worse.

I agree with you, Ysis. I know many 9 year old boys and they are so innocent, as they should be. Life is just starting for them. What was wrong with his parents that they would allow that to happen. And to let their daughter grow up so terribly ignorant. This reflects terribly on the parents.
I agree. Is there a chance that Joe is dumb enough to not realize that maybe what he did was childhood sexual exploration and not actual intercourse? Yes it could be physically possible for a very small number of nine years old- maybe..But what nine year old is even interested in sex? Did Papa Gorga teach little Joe the facts of life too early and too crudely ? Was little Joe trying to meet his fathers expectations of masculinity?! The whole thing is awful.
