Hospice Helps Dying Man Lose His Virginity
telegraph UK ^ | Saturday, January 27, 2007 | Stewart Payne

A young disabled man who receives care for his life-limiting illness at a hospice run by a nun spoke yesterday of his decision to use a prostitute to experience sex before he dies.

Sister Frances Dominica gave her support to 22-year-old Nick Wallis, who was born with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Sufferers usually die by their thirties.

Mr Wallis told staff at the Douglas House hospice in Oxford that he wanted to experience sexual intercourse. He explained that he had hoped to form an intimate and loving relationship with a woman, but his disability had acted as a barrier.

He told The Daily Telegraph: "It was a decision two years in the making and I discussed it with my carers and my parents. Telling my mother and father was the hardest part, but in the end they gave me their support.

True, after all, the nun was on a mission from God. And I hope she made sure this was done from the "missionary position" point of view.

I think your screen name is funny.

Some people are just so easily offended.

Your response inferred that you believed that food, money, sex, and sleep were base biololological impulses.

You infer; I imply.

"Basest" was probably not the best word to use, as it confers a moral judgment I did not intend. Replace it with "most animalistic."

So, I apologize for my reaction to your initial post, though I doubt you really think I believe eating is selfish.

Can someone tell Laurie Dhue for me please?

I heard that "Geraldo At Large" is being cancelled. I wonder what is next for Laurie (and Laura Ingle, Rivers's other blonde reporter.) Back to Fox? Maybe she and Harris Faulkner can fight it out for the prime-time news cuts.

Or as Jack Nickolson said to his floozy girlfriend in "One Flew over the Cookoos Nest"

There was the wierd kid who was a virgin and Jack said to the girl..... "How about throwing him a ringer?"

Do you think this post belongs in News/Activism? I think it's more appropriate in General Chat.... if anywhere!
thanks for your time and consideration!

You know this isn't going to be the only time. He's going to become a regular customer until he does die

He's 22 now and the article says that people who have what he has usually die in their 30s. They might have a fairly long-term customer.

Must be some quaint RC "tradition." I guess as long as the prostitute isn't on the pill it's OK.

Food, Money, Sex, Sleep

"Animalistic"?

What it boils down to for me on a larger scale is I understand these are my needs and I accept them.

It's a rejection of all the minutaeu and BS in the world, what other people think about you, what is current and hip at the time, etc. I understand what is important, not just my 4 "animalistic" words. Replace the sex with love and you'll have a better understanding, it's just that you will always need sex and not always find love. I can accept sex without love because I do submit my biological needs, it doesn't make me a bad guy and most of my sex has included love.

It does not stop me from being kind to strangers, children and animals. I can function just as well at a plumbers convention as I can in a tuxedo on a yacht, but I'm all MAN all the time, and better for it.

This is really sad. I wish he could experience love and sex instead of just sex ... but I have sympathy for him.

Christ protected a woman caught in adultery from being stoned to death. Then He said, "Go, and sin no more."

That's not exactly "Keep up the good work."

The same should be applied by everyone on this thread to the young man in this article, I think.

If you look at my previous post, you will find that I hate Political Correctness.

But I don't feel comfortable inside when I offend my Brothers and Sisters on Free Republic.

I pledge my loyalty to being PU (Politicaly Uncorrect), but not to my fellow Freepers. Besides, I know the power of the Admin. :-)



Here are some of my favorite PU statements:









Amen
