* AwkwardlyGayDream: The fourth season: Christian is having explicitly homosexual dreams about Sean, and later goes to therapy, where his therapist believes that the dreams are expressing his repressed sexual feelings for Sean. Sean, meanwhile, doesn't think anything of the dreams, is not freaked out (which is good, considering this is Sean we're talking about), and stays friends with Christian.



* HeterosexualLifePartners: Sean and Christian have been best friends and colleagues since college, and Christian is godfather to Sean's children. The show does actually explore the possibility of Christian having repressed homosexual feelings for Sean when he starts having [[HomoeroticDream dreams about them being lovers]], but they both conclude it doesn't really mean anything.

* InLoveWithTheGangstersGirl: Subverted in the pilot episode. Sean and Christian treat a Colombian client, Silvio Perez, that Christian quickly figures out is a drug trafficker. Perez admits he's on the run for "sleeping with the boss's girl". Christian, a shameless Casanova, accepts this reason. It later turns out that Perez is a pedophile who raped the boss's ''daughter''. The boss, Escobar Gallardo, murders Perez on the operating table.

* {{Anorgasmia}}: [=McNamara=] & Troy once had a female patient who was unable to experience orgasms as a result of genital mutilation. They performed a pro bono surgery that restored the woman's clitoris, but it took Liz's verbal help to make the patient orgasm successfully.

** In the episode "Joel Seabrook", Kimber and Christian are having difficulty in bed. After Christian makes a failed attempt to "spice things up" on the advice of an auto-asphyxiator (Which, unsurprisingly, hurts Kimber), Kimber tries to take the lead for their next encounter after consulting the Kama Sutra. However, this doesn't go over well, either, especially after Kimber's orgasm is so uncharacteristic, in Christian's eyes, that he stops everything and accuses her of [[FakeOrgasm faking it]].

** There's a subversion in the episode [[GagBoobs Jenny Juggs]], where title character has incredibly huge breasts that she can even use as [[ImprobableWeaponUser weapons]], knocking out the protagonist and breaking a pumpkin with them. Her breasts have caused her a lot of self-esteem issues, [[YouAreWhatYouHate not helped by the fact that she's a stripper]]. She is finally convinced by the protagonist to get a breast reduction bringing her to a C-cup but ends up getting upset anyway because she [[ACupAngst thinks her breasts are too small]].
