Why did nobody care when K Stew left?


In her they had a super-hot super-slutty chick who would do pretty much anything to/for them. They both seemed to have a major soft-spot for her too. But then when she left, they both seemed to just shrug it off. Am I missing something?

From what I know, most of those guys were homosexuals and at least one was a pedo.

Burroughs was a homosexual who shot his wife in the head. Ginsberg was a pedo who belonged to NAMBLA (homo pedo organizatio). So, they had little use for women and likely saw women who would have sex with them as objects.

Despite her seductive nature they simply saw her as an object of pleasure - a toy.

Was this the reason why she left, What did the film really express on this.

I think she finally realized they were all objects to Dean. Objects to be picked up and used, then discarded. I think she knew it was coming and was thinking about what she really wanted from life. I think Sal thought he was different, he thought Dean felt differently about him, compared especially to the women. Then he was dumped. Of course I never read the book, but that is the impression I got from the movie.
