I also heard that he had his first physical encounter with the opposite sex
when he was two and a half years old. (For the record, I'm two and a half
decades old, and I haven't even been on a date yet. You can imagine the
awful nausea I've had to live in.)

I dispute this sentence. Its truth, if it is even true at all, depends on
the meaning of "taking another's pain upon oneself."
If I seek to relieve another's pain, doesn't that mean my consciousness *per
se* of his or her pain causes me *pain*, not pleasure? And if I relieve his
or her pain, sure, it affords me pleasure, but this is not quite the same as
stating that my mere *consciousness* of it does.
