He was obviously incapable of achieving any kind of adult emotional or physical relationship with a woman. Even the assaults on the underage girls he used for his sexual gratification, were a characterised by a routine of beckoning the girl to sit on his knee, immediately shoving his tongue down her neck, his hand up her skirt and into her knickers, and then either expecting a "hand job" or pinning her down for a few minutes of "in and out". All reported that he displayed no emotion either before during or after. It sounded like sex for Savile was a routine mechanical operation. Or maybe like many paedophiles*, he had perfected the art of swiftly taking advantage of any window of opportunity to sexually assault the young teenage girls he came into contact with, that presented itself.





* whether Savile was a paedophile isn't relevant to my point
