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.

LOL, a little different "Boys Town"
And you would deny this man his dying wish?
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.
YMMV
I don't remember seeing a thread go downhill so quickly...not that I'm complaining.
Absolutely. It was immoral. And Catholic clergy/nun had no freaking business being involved.
Are you a man or a woman?
Helen Thomas and a strap-on would do the trick.

Somehow I missed taking note of your screenname.
MR RAMS BOTTOM
Trying to tell us something?
You would prefer that they subject him to pompous sanctimony in his dying years?
OK, I give up...what does YMMV stand for?
you think so huh? Don't mistake feelings for closeness to the divine
YMMV = Your Mileage May Vary.
Sorry. Your Mileage May Vary. It's usually used as a way to disagree with what someone has said, but acknowledge that both they have a right to say it, and that it may be true to them based on their background and experiences.
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.
Hahaha Now that's just great!
Something kinda poignant about this story.
Lorenzo's Oil Change?
Yeah, right. If I'm going out with a bang, the chick better be some skin mag model.
