“Anyway, I’m giving up... «Honestly Ben»

“Anyway, I’m giving up sex,” Toby said. “I’ve got other things on my brain.”
I thought back to when he’d come to my room to subliminalize me; he’d said he needed to talk. I wondered what was up.
“Isn’t it more like sex is giving you up?” Albie asked. “You don’t have a boyfriend, Toby. You haven’t abandoned sex; it’s abandoned you.”
