In a Nutshell

Victor Pelevin “The Sacred Book of Werewolf”

He smiled paternally, and I decided I must have got stuck with one of those soulful clients.  Those men who don’t just want your body for their two hundred bucks, but your soul as well.  They’re the ones who really wear you out.  To stop a soulful client getting carried away, you have to be morose and unsociable.  Let the nice man think the girl’s got adolescent problems.  During the period when their personalities are taking shape, teenagers are unsociable and uncommunicative, as every paedophile knows very well.  Therefore, that kind of behaviour rapidly inflames a pervert’s lust, which results in a saving of time and is helpful in obtaining better payment for your work.  But the important thing here is to shut yourself in the bathroom in good time.

Some foxes who live in North America and Europe take a scientific approach to the use of this effect.  That is, they think they take a scientific approach, because they prepare by reading the literature that ‘reveals the soul of the modern teenager’.  They are particularly fond of reading alleged fifteen-year-old authors who specialize in removing the panties from the inner world of their generation with a shy blush on their cheeks.  It’s ridiculous, of course.  Teenagers don’t have any common internal dimension – just as people of any other age don’t.  Each of them lives in his or her own universe, and these insights into the soul of the young generation are the market’s simulacra of freshness for the consumer who’s surfeited with anal sex on video, something like the chemical scent of lily-of-the-valley for toilets.  A fox who wants to imitate the behaviour of a modern teenager accurately shouldn’t read those books: instead of making you look like a teenager, they’ll turn you into an old theatrical queer acting out a travesty.
