There are so few people who I can be nasty to. E thought I was being nasty only to you. But I have been nasty before and I will be nasty again- and here, let me state, that I use nasty in the sense of "mean" or "unpleasant" as opposed to its possible sexual meaning.

Now, remember when we were talking about causes? I am not nasty to cause you to love it, and my purpose is not to arouse your lust (clearly this is easily done), I am nasty because I feel like being nasty. If it causes lust in you it is an unintended and unusual cause. It is, I think, unreasonable, for you to feel lust in the face contempt. I do not believe the "reasonable man" is turned on by such things. Therefore I have to tell you that your lust is your own problem and my arousing it totally unintentional and I am in no way craving or begging for more.
