"We went to Europe for a month". "We go to this house with a red light, which I thought was very convenient and subtle advertising", he recalled. "I'm backing out. I'm nervous as hell".

Inside the house, his friends negotiated a deal and went off with a pair of sex workers, while he waited awkwardly downstairs. Then a woman approached, and asked him how much money he has. "She grabs my hand and pulls me into a room", he revealed.

He continued to kid around, wrapping up his story by saying that by the time he returned to the group of 20 teen boys, "I was good.
