had an erection,

- If I had been turned on ...

- Can You hear yourself?

I stood there next to you,

Drinking my beer in shorts.

I will have walked away,

I would have sat down.

A person knows if

they are aroused by children,

Because they always look

to be near them,

To lure them, deceive them. The greater

the risk, the bigger the thrill.

- You seem to know a lot about it.

- I talked to psychologists.
