Just Finished "The Sun Also Rises" Anyone care to discuss it?

I kind of got the vibe that Jake is using Brett, at least in some way. He tries really hard to keep his impotence from messing with his head, but he still seems pretty stuck on a bunch of ugly feelings about his sexuality, and Brett just ends up being this outlet for it. Like, he can wallow a little without really losing anything, since Brett doesn’t seem like she’s built for monogamy anyway. I assumed the whole thing was happening on the subconscious level for him until the very last line. Then I was like… wait. Either I totally read it wrong, or Jake knows exactly what’s going on between them. And I don’t think the “Brett’s a b**ch” angle is really the main blocker for them having anything real (also not the best character explanation either). What do you all think?
