Seth Summary

Seth is in emotional turmoil as the school year winds down and the time approaches for Loren to head out to minister. Their relationship becomes almost wholly physical over time.

They go out to eat Italian food, and Loren manages to get Seth into a gay bar. There, Seth learns about "sugar daddies," older men who provide younger men with gifts, food, and a place to stay in exchange for sex.

Seth Analysis

Loren introduces Seth to the concept of "sugar daddies," which serves as a dangerous harbinger of things to come. At the time, Seth is unimpressed by the concept, thinking he transcends the idea.
