When we meet Rob Delaney’s character, “Neighbor Guy,” in FX’s
limited series “Dying for Sex,” he’s scarfing down a burrito in
an elevator, dripping food on his face and the floor. But
Delaney’s performance reveals that under Neighbor Guy’s messy
exterior is a man capable of deep vulnerability and empathy.

“Dying for Sex” follows a woman named Molly, played by Michelle
Williams, who is dying of cancer and desperate to experience
sexual pleasure before it’s too late. At first, Molly thinks
Neighbor Guy is disgusting, but the two soon discover they make
sense together, sexually and emotionally. Williams and Delaney
received Emmy nominations for their roles.

On this episode of Modern Love, Delaney tells host Anna Martin
why exposing the messy and painful parts of ourselves to other
people can be rewarding and hilarious. He talks about tending his
own relationship and reads a Modern Love essay about a couple who
decides to try some role play to avoid getting too comfortable
with each other.
