When Holden has the chance to have sex, he doesn’t actually do it, he gets nervous and begins to think too himself. An example in the novel would be when Holden invites the prostitute back to his room and Holden states, “ Sexy was about the last thing I was feeling. I felt much more depressed than sexy”(69). Having sex actually gets Holden upset because he wants it to be with the right person but he doesn’t want to wait. So when he tries to have sex with the prostitute it depresses him and makes him feel low. This shows the readers that Holden is in fact an adolescent because it feels wrong to him to have sex with someone other than, typically, his crush. He is still young and wants to be monogamous unlike adults who tend to think of their feeling and wants before
