LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Whenever the subject of sex arises on 'The View', it's a given that Joy Behar will divert the conversation with oversharing.

True to form, during the show's Valentine's Day episode, Behar lived up to expectations, leaving Whoopi Goldberg holding her head in her hands by the end.

Joy Behar's unconventional Valentine's Day advice on 'The View'

According to UPROXX, Rather than delving into her usual discussions about intimate encounters with ghosts or shouting the wrong name during sex, Behar started relatively tame by offering advice on ensuring a memorable Valentine's Day.

"My recommendation is, you don't go for the big meal until later. First, you do a matinee in the afternoon — matinee is key to good sex — a martini, empty stomach. No eating," said Behar, prompting Whoopi to suggest alternative options to drinking. This is where the conversation took an unexpected turn.

With a sly grin, Behar addressed the audience, saying, "You can go the Whoopi Goldberg route. We all know what that is, and get yourself in the mood. Not a drink, but some other …" she continued, pausing before confessing, "opioid."

Goldberg's expression, previously neutral, transformed into one of horror as she furrowed her brow, mouth agape. Sara Haines exclaimed, "Not an opioid!" while Behar doubled over the table in laughter.

As the entire table erupted in laughter, Behar quickly clarified that she was joking. "I didn't mean that," she insisted, but the damage was done. Whoopi was already mortified and covering her face. Eventually, she playfully scolded 'The View' producer Brian Teta for orchestrating the chaos.

"This is what you get for forcing me into this!" Goldberg jokingly yelled at Teta, with Behar also blaming the producer for allowing the co-hosts to broach the topic of sex.

Another commented, "Awww, Sara. She's truly the baby in the panel."
