NBC thought that masturbation was not a good topic to show on television. The word "masturbation" is not said in the episode.[1] The phrase "master of my domain" (meaning someone who is trying not to masturbate) has been made as a catchphrase in popular culture.[2][3]
Larry David won a Primetime Emmy Award (for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series) for writing the episode.[4] TV Guide put the episode as the 1st in their list of Greatest Episode of All-Time.[5]
