Reason to Love the Internet #145678

So I was looking up my friend’s band Surrogate, when I stumbled onto the Wikipedia site for Sex Surrogates, which included a link to this disabled dude’s first-person tale of seeing a sex surrogate. It’s actually quite riveting, but sadly, even though dude finally is able to lose his virginity, there’s not much of a happy ending:

“I began this essay in 1986, then set it aside until last year. In re-reading what I originally wrote, and my old journal entries from the time, I’ve been struck by how optimistic I was, imagining that my experience with Cheryl had changed my life. But my life hasn’t changed. I continue to be isolated, partly because of my polio, which forces me to spend five or six days a week in an iron lung, and partly because of my personality. I am low-key, withdrawn, and cerebral.”

Damn
