Yes, my date went very well. No, you can’t have any details. Yes, I’m sure. The Net is full of places to fulfill your titillation needs, so knock yourself out. I’m not a big believer in the tell-all, hold-nothing-back style of blog. Sorry to disappoint, but I’m sure you’ll understand.
But a word on disability and relationships. As many people with disabilities will tell you, society tends to perceive us as asexual beings. We’re seen as either too sick or too “different” to ever experience attraction, romance, sex, etc. Of course, this is bullshit. But we spend many a Friday night alone because the idea that we’re not desirable has become somewhat ingrained. And you start feeling a bit like an outsider to the human race; like everyone else got invited to a long, great party and you’re still checking the mailbox for an invitation. So when someone comes along and tells you you’re kinda cool (or something like that), it’s something unique and just a bit wondrous.
I don’t feel like an outsider today.
Peace,
Mark
