Thanks for the link to this ... wow. You've really managed to capture something essential about Jerome, the sensual naivete that defines him and dooms him. I marvel that the publisher even bothers to attempt to teach Jerome the art of submission. The boy is simply too callow.

Although, it must be said that Jerome (Ewan) suffers so beautifully, it's no wonder the publisher (does he have a name?) keeps him around despite his idiocy.
