Topic > Sexual Relationships in Holden's Catcher in the Rye
His relationships with women failed because he was immature and unsure of himself. He did not think logically about the decisions he made throughout his life. Even though he wanted to fall in love with a girl and have sex, his fear prevented him. Another factor that influenced his view of women was that he thought they were all whores, which caused him to not have a normal relationship with any woman. One day he thinks of his old friend Jane and wants to call her, the other he wants to marry Sally and run away with her. In the end, he wasn't sure which girl he wanted to be with, or whether he just wanted to have a one-night sexual relationship with a girl.
