On the subject of the role of physical acts of intimacy in his life, D'Elia said, "What I have come to understand is, this was always about sex to me. My life was — I mean sex, it controlled my life,". On the subject of his past behaviour and his viewpoint on intimate acts and what he feels about it now, he said, "I thought in my mind that being straight-up with these women was the right thing to do. I realized, through all of this, that doing that is just treating sex like it's casual and being flippant with people. And that's not the guy I want to be, it's not okay, and I'm sorry for that. It makes me feel shameful and it makes me feel bad." 

He can be seen implying that while doing so, he has essentially undermined the sanctity of intimate acts while apologetically speaking about his daily routine of the past. At one point in the video, he can be seen talking about how Chris D'Elia's shows led to some of his physical liaisons. Further along in the video, he can also be seen admitting that he has a problem, which became apparent to him when he couldn't help himself from pursuing other women while being engaged to Kristin Taylor. While touching upon the same, he stated, "This is my dream girl, this is the girl I want to be with for the rest of my life, and even that wouldn't stop what I was doing". Chris D'Elia's fiance, Kristin Taylor, is an actor who is known for films such as My Summer as a Goth, Fast Food Fast Women and The Cry, among others.
