1. For about half a year when he was fourteen, he actually believed Father Brewster on the whole "self-abuse will make you shorter" front. To this day, Paul maintains that there's a certain degree of plausibility in the whole thing. Look at the results.
2. There were parts about being an altar boy that he didn't mind so bitterly. They even had nothing to do with girls or sex or sneaking sips of the blood of Christ.
3. His first year at RADA, he had sex a couple times with other men. He only took it once, and he's never done it since then, so none of it counts.
4. One of those guys, McGann realized in the morning after, looked kind of like Joe. This was, in fact, why he'd originally ended up talking to the man: he had been horribly drunk, and for a certain drunken interval, he was convinced that Joe had come to London for something.
That broke him of the habit, quick and clean as anything.
It had also een the time he took it.
5. One time, when Paulie had seem some of the world and was back home for a while, he was out with Dad. They were on the street together, getting a part for the stove at home that'd broken down again, and McGann realized that at the counter at this one shop, the woman looked and Dad smiled at him. He had to hide a smile back.
There was a ring on the woman's hand, and Paul had slept with enough married women to recognize the way that they came onto a man.

There was a ring on his father's hand, too.
