Why would he be? Didi is a very attractive woman. Gary has only had sex once in his entire life, and he cannot have it with his new girlfriend due to her...issues.
I believe the concern here is that if Gary is half as accomplished as we're hearing, he should be used to nude model drawing by now. I mean it's possible he just never did much of it but by the time you've done it even a little of it, your mind just kind of goes into a different mental state.
Of course I think it's a bit excusable considering the context is a bit unusual. Dude's been lusting after her since day one after all.

I thought it had been established that Gary really only had experience drawing men in the nude. That's why Yuki wanted Didi to model for Gary in the first place.

Having sex just the once doesn't make a man immune to miracles. I think that Gary is entitled to be somewhat surprised - ney, even shocked - at this development.

Things are getting even better... Were did Yuki's jealousy go? Will this indeed lead to Gary having a threesome at his second time? Naaah...
Oookay, honestly. Does Yuki think Gary is exclusively into petite girls or something? Either that or she's really enjoying the show herself, which is a possibility I guess. Or she just trusts that Gary is a virgin (as far as she knows) for a reason and therefore safe.
I shall admit though. DiDi looks quite good in this page.

I don't know. I was thinking of chalking it up to Yuki just being so confident that Gary was hers...
But then, she was incredibly jealous and insecure about Sonya...
Which leads me to believe now, Yuki's just not terribly bright.

Well, even if Yuki is either
1) slow on the uptake and genuinely thinks DiDi wants to help Gary draw better,
2) assuming that if he didn't score with her yet he has no chance anyway or
3) is enjoying the show herself,
she will still know when the line is crossed and that will not go down well (pun so totally intended). DiDi can't achieve her goals with Yuki present.

Also, Yuki does seem to make for a pretty awesome girlfriend, assuming, of course, that you can overlook the whole no sex thing, which seems like a big if. Then again, Gary has no touchstone for what is standard for sex in a relationship. So it might not be as big a deal for him when they're just starting out.

I do think so. Can't miss what you never had.
I'm still not clear on the whole "gonna marry you" thing? Was that just a ruse for her dad or what?

I say you can miss what you never had, btw... or at least it would feel weird without it... But apparently Gary is able to cope.
Just semantics, I guess but no, you cannot miss what you never had. You can want what you never had.

They are together for a relatively short time, so it's nothing unnatural and it's not like she doesn't want to have sex - she just isn't quite ready. Gary knows, she is doing her best to resolve her issues for the very purpose of being with him, so no sex at the moment shouldn't be a problem.

I'm pretty sure Yuki's man-dating experience is limited to the sex contest. So, no, she hasn't.

Wasn't there a Yuki flashback at some point that showed her dating dude(s?) in Japan, until at least she flipped out. I don't have much time atm, but ill see if I can find it before I need to head out for the day.

I don't recall any, but if there is it would be good to refresh with.

Alright, found what I was thinking about here. And the strip before seems to at least imply to me that Zii has known about Yuki going out with men, but that is most likely just my reading of it.
I wonder if Gary can cope with Yuki's "see wieners as tentacles". We know that he has the power of his mouth.

Edit: Wait... "Gone up by 120%"? So they have effectively become about 20% cooler?
Huh, i just got that.
I don't know if that is a colloquial thing or not; to me, if something is 100% better, then that means it is twice as good (100% originally, +100% again) as it used to be.
So by gawping at Didi and getting to grope her boobs, his drawings are more than twice as good as they used to be.
Yeah, as Yuki puts it, I too understand that his arts kills have become more than twice as good as they were before.
Also, I like to think that this shows that Gary doesn't just take the opportunity to grope DiDi but that he also applies the experience when drawing. From a crass point of view, that's the best way to be allowed to keep doing it, in any case.

She seemed a lot nicer and a lot more innocent overall when she wasn't in a relationship but working on a crush on Sandra. When that went south and she shacked up with Matt, DiDi's suddenly become a rather nasty, selfish, dislikable person and the inability to get that orgasm has become her ONLY personality trait.
If I didn't know any better, I'd say that DiDi was getting derailed into the unlikable nymphomaniac to make no-longer-swinging-homewrecker-Zii look good all of a sudden...
When one has made a decision to kill a person, even if it will be very difficult to succeed by advancing straight ahead, it will not do to think about doing it in a long, roundabout way. One's heart may slacken, he may miss his chance, and by and large there will be no success. The Way of the Samurai is one of immediacy, and it is best to dash in headlong.

I'll not start another "How bad is Zii" discussion but I'll agree with DiDi being kind of derailed... She's not THAT nasty but she really is very single minded.. and apparently, yeah, she'd break up Yuki and Gary (or whatever that's worth) to get it...

I doubt it. Her Good Angel just hit her. Hard.

I wouldn't say that this is new, more just a logical extension of what we've already seen of her.
Starting out, Didi was already portrayed as.... well, I'll say 'oblivious' because simply calling her 'stupid' is rude and not entirely accurate.
But it's more or less true - she had absolutely no concept of what her looks or random displays of nudity were doing to the people around her, she has indulged all of Zii's antics without virtually no moral questioning, and it is strongly implied that she has worked her way through a series of men while looking for her elusive orgasm, breaking each and every one of their hearts when she suddenly discarded them because they weren't what she wanted.
What we've seen lately, is just more of that. It didn't occur to her that cheating on Matt would be a bad thing; it didn't occur to her that breaking up with Matt on the slightest whim (ie; to sleep with Gary) would upset him; and right now it doesn't seem to occur to her that stealing Gary away from Yuki will have any kind of long-term repercussions for any of them, beyond her own physical satisfaction.
Quite frankly, Didi has always been selfish - nobody else needs a little Shoulder Angel around specifically to remind them not to be - and now she's just being driven to extremes by her.... *ahem* frustration
