Quote 10 of 28


The thing is, most of the time when you're coming pretty close to
doing it with a girl --- a girl that isn't a prostitute or anything, I
mean --- she keeps telling you to stop.  The trouble with me is, I
stop.  Most guys don't.  I can't help it.  You never know whether they
really _want_ you to stop, or whether they're just scared as hell, or
whether they're just telling you to stop so that if you _do_ go
through with it, the blame'll be on _you_, not them.

J.D. Salinger, _The Catcher in the Rye_, p. 97
