I dunno... How does someone with bad/fragmented ideas about sex, self, and relationships end up in ANY relationships at all? However bad these relationships were, wouldn't his personal experiences inform him of what he's into more than his fictional characters he shouldn't know how to write? This guy has a hard time relating to people, so how can he create characters who are real enough for him to cope? Frankly, as repressed as he is, I'd sooner expect his conversations with his characters to be more like...
Given how his mother beat him over the head with how terrible sex is, it would've been more likely if he came out like Jay Naylor's Marley character. /g/1662492/9894cbf647/
