Intimate revelations of young men

Most of the confidences were unsought—frequently I have feigned sleep, preoccupation, or a hostile levity when I realized by some unmistakable sign that an intimate revelation was quivering on the horizon—for the intimate revelations of young men, or at least the terms in which they express them, are usually plagiaristic and marred by obvious suppressions. Reserving judgments is a matter of infinite hope.

Hello friends,
I know the meanings of each word in the blue part. But I can't understand it as a whole.
Would you please be kind enough to clarify it to me?

Thank you
