That's really not funny. Nor is your screen name.
...calling "Make A Wish" foundation!
me too...
The nun should have just taken care of the problem herself and saved the guy some money.
Helen Thomas and a strap-on would do the trick.

Unbelievable.
Clergy and a nun help disabled man to have sex with a prostitute before he dies.
You know this isn't going to be the only time. He's going to become a regular customer until he does die, poor dear.
Luckily that is one worry , thanks to the opposite sex, that none of us will have.
Any sex I have experienced in this life has brought me closer to the devine.So I get a laugh out of those of you who judge these people.
The fact is that the woman was in love with the idea of helping this man, if she was not indeed in love with him herself and never knew it.
I don't remember seeing a thread go downhill so quickly...not that I'm complaining.
The fact is, this young man's disease and the disability it has caused him is tragic, and while I can understand the carnal desire of the flesh (because I'm human too, just like we all are), what this young man chose to do is (or should have been) between him, whoever chose to engage in any sexual act(s) with him, and his God, however he perceives Him.
I think it would have been far better for everyone to have kept this a private matter, there is enough sexual excess trumpeted in the media every hour on the hour without putting this young man's situation on display. Even if he wanted to talk about it, a wiser newspaper editor would have said 'Son, I'm glad for you that you won't die a virgin, but consider keeping the story of this to yourself, not out of shame, but out of respect for yourself, your parents, your family and friends, and for others in your position who might not make the same decision you made'.
Will God forgive him?
Of course He will, the Forgiveness of Christ is universal for all who come to Him, confess Him as Lord, and turn their lives over to Him. As has already been posted in this thread, Jesus forgave prostitutes, tax collectors, thieves, every sort of failed human who came to Him, but the critical part of His Forgiveness was that He would always say 'Your sins are forgiven, go and sin no more'.
I hope this young man will pay as ardent attention to his spiritual state as he has to his physical desires, which have now at least been met *once*.
God be with him.
Lorenzo's Oil Change?
Ecce homo.
Sorry, but it's just plain wrong for a nun to involve herself in a deliberate sin and in the scandal of publicizing it.
Who made the decision to call in the Telegraph and publicize this story? The young disabled man? The nun? Somebody else?
I am not going to criticize this young man, unless it was his idea to call the newspaper and make this business public. We don't know that he is Catholic--probably not. We don't even know whether the nun in question had the power to say yes or know to his request. But the nun was stupid to let herself get involved in the public and scandalous perception that she approved of this business and maybe approved of publicizing it.
Let's hope she was just stupid--that the story got out because someone leaked it, and not because the whole thing was some kind of crazed publicity play intended to undermine the Church.
I can understand this young man's situation - G-d knows I was a young man once, too - but I can't help thinking about people like Warren Zevon and Stephen Hawking* who, knowing they were soon to leave the world, put their remaining time and energy into doing great things.
[*When Hawking was diagnosed, he was given 2-3 years to live. Incidentally, he married after he was diagnosed, and fathered four children.]
