 Is it not possible that Antolini's gesture is completely unsexual and

 in itself, an act of humanity that does nothing but illustrate the depth of
 Holden's confusion? Holden is genuinely unloved and unprepared. Naturally,
he
 would react as he did.
 
 And Seymour's visit with Sybil: unsexual and innocent. X 'n' Esme: unsexual
 and innocent.
 Just my opinion, of course. I don't think I'd use the word "condecending" in
 describing either of the situations. I think X and Seymour treat their
 conversation partners with respect and as equals.

I agree.I think that Seymour was just saying those silly things because by
this time he had been through all that psychoanalyzation and he was pretty
mentally disturbed.I also think that seargentx was just being amused by the
girl and having a nice conversation.
