Nana's lurid tittering and giggling re: underage girls is obviously rooted in his deeply repressed homosexual urges. Terrified of being identified as a swishy, prancing faggot by his male peers, Nana feels compelled to constantly remind other men about how he "likes them young", which not only (in his mind) establishes his hetero bona fides, but also gives him a (in his mind) plausible alibi re: his obvious revulsion re: adult women. After firmly establishing his heterosexuality and virility, Nana feels comfortable enough to flit, mince and vamp without being identified as a fruity old queen, as how could a guy who's into fifteen year old girls possibly be gay?
When he has tried to act on it, the results are always disastrous. The Self-Cutting girl debacle, taking his teen "girlfriend" to his class reunion, bragging about visiting his teen "girlfriend" in the pediatric ward, the cringe-worthy photos with his "dates", "I...am fucking...my brother's girlfriend's daughter"...all deeply humiliating, ghoulish moments that merely hi lighted how pitiful his sad facade really is. They're clearly not the actions of a genuinely heterosexual man.
