It had to be TJ because that’s the one person he trusts completely, that’s why had TJ turned him down while he feels so vulnerable (by asking if he thinks he’s dirty), it would’ve broken his spirit and genuinely led him to believe he was dirty.
I know Ian trusts him hence tj being his first choice, it still doesn't change what I stated so I don't see the point of your comment.
I negated the statements that suggests it didn’t have to be TJ. That was the point.
Ig this is how Ian unhealthy (sex) coping mechanism started, after killing David Kim he needed a way to put himself in control (regarding sex), so he's the one asking first and it didn't necessarily have to be with tj, he was willing to find someone else, as long as Ian had a sense of control and CHOOSING who, I think that's all that mattered for him in that moment. Also something to help him forget what he just did too. Oh Ian...
