It’s spring time and young gimps’ thoughts turn to thoughts of love (or lust). That’s the impression one gets from the latest disability-themed edition of Dan Savage’s sex column. Dan’s responses to the plights of the disabled and the horned-up are reasonable and measured. He makes a good point about the fact that gimp sexuality runs the gamut from plain vanilla to the exotic. I once knew a guy with Duchenne’s who wanted nothing more than to meet a girl who would tie him up. That seemed redundant to me, but different strokes and all that.
It’s good to know I’m not the only one who, in a moment of loneliness and self-loathing, wrote Savage with my own sob story about how girls didn’t like me, how my gimpness was going to keep me single and frustrated for the rest of my life, and so on. My insecurities are still with me and they probably always will be. But they are tempered with the knowledge that I can be my own worst critic. And I’ve slowly learned to trust other people to see all the good things in me that too often remain hidden to my own eyes.
rock on
Dude, tell me about it. That shit used to really get to me. Sure, it still does from time to time (I’m not a robot) but I’ve mostly learned not to dwell on it too much…for the most part. Basically I tell myself I’m giving up on love. It somewhat works. Of course that all goes out the window when I come across someone online that I start digging. So far I’ve never really had anybody return any kind of romantic feelings back at me though. I know I’m awesome. It’s just the ladies who don’t realize it. š Not my fault they can’t get past my physical limitations. So yeah I’m going to keep telling myself it’s them, not me. I think that’s a healthy way of looking at it.
OMG that was you??
hahahaha
I was just talking with a friend about how Savage seems to have gotten schooled in gimp sex since he wrote that (pretty dumb) first column. Had no idea you wre the gimp who schooled him.
Nicely done.
I was not the only girl who responded to Mike’s craigslist ad, and I was not the only girl who went out on multiple dates with him. Everyone tells me I’m special, that they personally could not have fallen for somone like him. But I think that is bullshit, frankly. Chemistry is mysterious, people are complex. I really think eveyrone has a more or less equal chance at finding love, if they want it.
