So let us suppose for our discussion that this essay is merely academic and not realistic.> As I said, a boy of eight to ten is ideal. But you can tra...n a boy of any age. If you work with an older boy...sixteen to twenty say, you will have to spend lots of time wiping his former sexual ideas and desires from his mind. This in itself can be lots of fun. You re-train him. You convince him that he is not a normal high school student with normal sexual interests, but a fucking animal who was put on. "I think a lot of that's nest-think for them, but he might know more, I can ask."For the balance of the day Meiersdottir was extraordinarily busy, moving from one group to another, consulting with all those she'd named and many more besides. She spent nearly half an hour with Joe, asking both Singh and Sviatoslavski to join them briefly, and an hour or more alone with her subordinate O'Brian. Then in the evening she was on her communicator so long that it was finally Hill who issued the call to. Someone must have told them about Evan's cancer. Well, that explained the part about being sorry. And they'd gotten him out of his room so they wouldn't disturb Evan, or talk about it in front of him. But Reed hadn't mentioned Evan's name once, she just kept talking about Trevor himself. He tried to get a word in edgewise, at least to thank her for her sympathy, but couldn't do much more than squeeze out a few words in between Reed's monologue."We wanted to do something for you, Trev," she was. Little did she know that this trip, this adventure, wasn't even my idea.Rae had brought up a ski trip last winter, but all she could get from Sue was "Maybe next year." Though Rae occasionally brought it up in the months since then, she decided to approach me separately about it.Sue believed that I wanted her to be very modest and shy, so she pretended to be that. I eventually figured out she was a closet exhibitionist (see Out of the Closet) and she felt she could expose herself if it wasn't.
