The UK newspaper The Observer<\/i> recently published the results of its Sex Poll, which included this question: Have you ever had sex with someone with a physical disability?<\/p>\n
<\/b>The results<\/a> were as follows: <\/p>\n – 70%<\/b> said No, and I don’t think I would<\/b>. Those numbers don’t surprise me and I suppose I could use them as a justification for throwing my hands in the air (er, figuratively) and settling in for a life of celibate bachelorhood. But I’m not really interested in trying to earn the affection of that 70%. Those are probably the same 70% that refuse to try sushi or watch a movie with subtitles; the boring and the conformist. I’m more interested in seeking out members of the other 30%. Those are the interesting people. They’re not easy to spot and it takes more than a little time and luck to find them, but they’re out there. <\/p>\n These statistics simply reaffirm that disability, in the abstract, is not attractive to most people. But individually, we gimps are not abstractions. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The UK newspaper The Observer recently published the results of its Sex Poll, which included this question: Have you ever had sex with someone with a physical disability?
