It was very professional, straightforward, etc. It was I who was kind of uncomfortable. It just had an air of unreality to it (I felt like I was watching T tell me about porn magazines from afar, instead of listening to him myself say these things.) I did wonder how does T know so much about porn?
Porn is an alternative to the real thing, for someone whose belief in the right to the real thing has been denied, inside his own head... As such, it would be an important part of a T's knowledge to know about these things.
