This was something somewhat addressed in the documentary. It seemed like something he was playing up for the parents to help them into thinking sending their sons to have overnights with him would be the same as sending them to any other same-aged friends house. So, yeah.

For me, what resonated the most in the stories was how much of these men's identities were spun around whatever MJ was telling them as they grew up. He told them that they were talented, special, and loved. They built their adult lives on the things they believed from him as children. Therefore, they couldn't accept how deeply they were manipulated for sex. If they believed he manipulated them for that, they would have to call into question the basic core of their identities. And both men actually seem to be doing this now that they have sons.
