This chapter opens with a conversation between the narrator and the teacher. The narrator asks the teacher if he would like to practice sex with him. The teacher replies that he does not want to practice because he is afraid that the narrator's first love, who has forbidden him to do so, is worried about him. He says that his friend, who is also afraid of him, will let him have sex with the teacher for many years to come. He tells the teacher that he has seen the narrator with a girl the day before and that he is sure that the man is some kind of "for young where feel sorry." The teacher tells the narrator that he should not be so self-conscious that he cannot accept himself. He adds that the people around him are not really interested in him because they do not accept his inferiority complex.
