'They don't teach you how to be a sexual predator at age 12'

[John Mitzel, writer and owner of a gay bookstore in Boston:] I've always been interested in older men, and I was sexually active from about the age of 12. I would follow hot-looking men onto the bus - 20-, 30-, 40-year-olds - then get off where they did. My technique was rather crude. I'd just say, "Can I blow you?" Of course, they ran off in horror. They don't teach you how to be a sexual predator at age 12.
