During his explorations of homosexuality at boarding school, he never fully reciprocates, but enjoys his pleasure. In his university years in Paris, he spends two fruitless years trying to lose his virginity by chasing after prostitutes, but never brings himself to complete the act. His first love affair with the Martiniqueian DouDou is fully in her control...
