Such a delicious, complex little morsel. I love the almost-disappointment of the mood. The very fact that Lex is matter-of-fact about all this is what makes it so creepy.
By completely avoiding any sensationalism you've made it almost *routine*, which is absolutely riveting. And that Lex is literally cataloguing the touches his father bestows on him is more than a little heart-breaking.
