or trying to get away
or unhappy or I

:48:03
there's nothing there that.
:48:07
Maybe someday a door
will open,

:48:09
but it better hurry up,
because I'm 65.

:48:12
And at this point in time,
I could care less.

:48:15
Then he goes on and says,
"My next partners were boys

:48:18
my own age, all of which
sexual relations,

:48:21
probably being within
norms for my age.

:48:24
However, the emotional
impact of these relations

:48:26
was very pronounced and
lasted through my adult life.

:48:29
A more normal situation,
as probably happened

:48:32
with my partners, would
have been to outgrow

:48:34
and forget these episodes.
:48:37
However, I literally fell
in love with these boys,

:48:39
and the relations were far
more significant to me

:48:41
than they were to my partners. "
:48:43
And then he told me that when he
got to be an older teenager,

:48:47
like maybe in his late teens,
he started worrying

:48:50
that he was still attracted to
kids that were the same age

:48:52
as his brother had been
when Arnold was 13,

:48:55
and that really started
bothering him.

:48:57
And then after he had his own
children, he was worried.

:49:00
He started worrying that
maybe he would molest

:49:02
his own children.
:49:03
And at that point,
he went to therapy,

:49:05
and the therapist told him,
"No, don't worry.

:49:07
You've got everything
under control. "

:49:18
All the cats come running
from both near and far

Jazzbo Mambo
:49:44
Jazzbo Mambo,
8 to the bar

:49:56
You could see that
this wasn't exactly

:49:59
Fred MacMurray and
"My Three Sons," right?
