This chapter really solidified the fact that Ian is only so stuck on TJ because of the sex. Repeatedly we’ve seen that when they come face to face it usually evolves into sex. To Ian sex with him is another ecstasy or high, something he used to achieve through drugs. He compensates his inner turmoil through temporary pleasures. Ian could fucking say he doesn’t love TJ and you’ll see them having sex and deny that fact. Sex doesn’t equate to love. Not in the context of Ian of course.
