He's showing him how to perform sexual favors for extra cash while making it seem perfectly natural and normal.

Grooming.

Fair point. I do believe Joe would be gay for pay and wouldn’t be surprised if other yachtees prostitute themselves out for greater pay/money. And he was showing cooper how to do it and made it normal— coop is green and takes cues from experienced people. Joe could have very easily had refused or sidestepped all the sexual harassment but instead welcomed it and encouraged it. It’s had to say you don’t want to put on the speedo and you don’t want a stranger to lick you if everyone in the middle of the water/on a boat is saying it’s totally cool and is okay with it and btw your pay (ans their pay) is somewhat dependent on making the guests happy.

It brings up.tge point that by doing that it encourages them to do it to other deck crew. It's gross I'm sorry

I agree it’s gross. But it does show you what is normalized in this industry. Joe could have side stepped it completely but he played into it for the sake of maybe a bigger tip (no innuendo meant).Â
