Elaine: He'll get in the elevator, but he won't go down
Jerry: Oh... you mean...?
Elaine: Yeah.
Jerry: Why not? I mean, you're there...
Interesting attitude for a man who obsesses with hygeine and brushing his teeth. Perhaps this is why. He's always eating pussy.

On that show, Seinfeld was always bonin' the hottest chicks. (and then of course dumping them because they used his toothbrush or something stupid)
The funniest one was when he suggested the menois a trois to his girlfriend and her hot roommate and they both said yes and then this exchange with George...
J: "I can't. I'm not an orgy guy." G: "Are you crazy? This is like discovering Plutonium ... by accident." J: "Don't you know what it means to become an orgy guy? It changes everything. I'd have to dress different. I'd have to act different. I'd have to grow a moustache and get all kinds of robes and lotions and I'd need a new bedspread and new curtains I'd have to get thick carpeting and weirdo lighting. I'd have to get new friends.

IIRC Jason Alexander, Michael Richards, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus are nowhere near as wealthy as Jerry and Larry David. Since they were all only actors rather than writers, they don't get any cut of the syndication royalties. They all became increasingly jealous over time, obviously, so they held out for a shitload of money before participating in the DVD commentaries/interviews.

Even without her dad's fortune and/or syndication rights she (and Richards and Alexander) made about http://www.stanthecaddy.com/pact-brings-peace-to-the-seinfeld-cast-discuss.htmlm an episode for the last season, which was 24 eps long. Not too shabby. I get the point about advertising being easy money - I still find it hard not to think of it as a bit tacky (maybe being brought by the BBC has something to do with this).

We often see George, Elaine and Kramer in bed with their spouses/boyfriends/girlfriends, whether it's pre-sex, post-sex or going to sleep. But it seems like we never see Jerry in bed with anyone, even though he had by far the most partners of anyone on the show.
The only time I remember seeing Jerry in bed with anyone is with Elaine in the episode about orgasm-faking.
