Time Traveler's Wife Sex Scene Gives New Meaning to the Term 'Self-Pleasure'

Sunday's episode of HBO's The Time Traveler's Wife is raising eyebrows after a scene surfaced on Twitter of Henry (Theo James) traveling back in time to perform oral sex... on himself.

The scene features two Henrys, age 16, together in bed, only to be interrupted by their father, who stares at them in confusion.

After the scene went viral on Twitter, users joked that The Time Traveler's Wife is "the best show on TV," while others announced that they will now start watching the series, despite having no prior intention to do so.
