I saw this headline posted somewhere else and thought it would be funny, but when I read the actual story, it seemed profoundly sad.

But if I get a terminal illness, I want to go to that hospice.

Hospice helped dying man lose his virginity

Hospice helped Nick Wallis lose his virginity
Nick Wallis: paid for prostitute

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.

"I had hoped to form a relationship when I went to university, but it didn't happen. I had to recognise that if was to experience sex I would have to pay for it out of my savings. My mind was made up before I discussed it with anyone else."

1. This thread makes jesus smile.

;-)

[Wetzelbill]

2. fuck, I was going to make a joke then I read some of it

damn... poor kid.

[yurbud]

4. especially the result, which is about what I would expect with a hooker

which is why I don't bother to make the investment.

[Fridays Child]

3. You're right. It is sad.

:(

[Downtown Hound]

5. Well, I can certainly think of worse things to be done

Carry on Hospice. Carry on.

[yurbud]

6. I thought you were going to say Ann Coulter

that would finish him off, especially a skin and bones guy like that. The two of them would be like rubbing two sticks together and start a fire.

[Downtown Hound]

7. Arrrrgh! That was an image I did not need!

:spank:

[yurbud]

12. can you imagine the angle of death comes for you, pulls back his hood, and it's her...

[Downtown Hound]

13. Hahahahahahahahahaha!

I seriesly hope not. I prefer to think of death as a wise and incredibly unforgiving teacher. Ann Coulter's only got 50% of that down, and it's not the wise part.

[yurbud]

15. and you know you're going to the bad place if it's her

by which I mean a private party in her pants.

[Downtown Hound]

17. Oh my God!

Liberal damnation!

:scared:

[yurbud]

26. shut up so Bill O'Reilly can give you your first loofah bath in hell

[knight_of_the_star]

23. Ahhhhhh!

Dude, where do you keep your brain, that's up there with something de Sade would come up with!

[eppur_se_muova]

41. Is the angle of death obtuse or acute? nt

[SammyWinstonJack]

56. ..

:evilgrin:

[pnwmom]

8. Good for the hospice nun, who didn't try to foist her beliefs onto him.

Sister Frances described Mr Wallis as "delightful, intelligent and aware young man".

"I know that some people will say 'You are a Christian foundation. What are you thinking about?'. But we are here for all faiths and none," she said.

"It is not our job to make moral decisions for our guests. We came to the conclusion that it was our duty of care to support Nick emotionally and to help ensure his physical safety."

[PDJane]

11. Right.

A very good thing, and the woman is right.

This is what happens when the person of faith, not religion, sees a problem.

[ninkasi]

14. Sister Frances has an enlightened soul

I applaud what she did. I wish that everybody could be as compassionate as she is.

[mzmolly]

45. Agreed.

.

[Catherine Vincent]

9. Poor guy. That is sad.

But maybe that friction helped him a little. You never know...God works in mysterious ways. :)

[philosophie_en_rose]

10. Some European nations allow sex as a sort of therapy.

I don't recall her name, but I remember hearing about a woman who provided "sex therapy" to men with physical and mental health conditions.

[yurbud]

16. do you recall her 900 number?

[philosophie_en_rose]

18. 1-900-YO-MAMA.

:P

[yurbud]

25. thanks. I sent her to your house.

[northofdenali]

19. Good for them!!!

THIS is the way Christians are supposed to be. Three cheers and a large :toast: to Sister Domenica!

[Mick Knox]

20. umm.. I feel a cold coming on if someone would like to help..

:silly:

[yurbud]

24. I'm dying... at least some of the skin on my feet is.

[TlalocW]

21. Douglas House Hospice totally rules over the Make-A-Wish Foundation

That's all.

[Dorian Gray]

22. Oh.... my heart aches

for this person, who has spent so much time suffering. :(

Who can blame the nun? Most sisters that I know are actually quite radical, and many of them have beliefs that deviate from the official church doctrine. I have friends who are nuns who work with teenage girls in the foster system, and many of them have used birth control or have availed themselves to abortion servives. When it is a "fact" of life, thos working with them tend to either turn a blind eye or facilitate circumstances that will benefit the girls.

So, I can't say that this particular story surprises me all that much. I do wish him the best, and I truly hope that he will get to live his life out in a happy way.

[Evoman]

27. Next time, get him two.

Poor kid...everyone deserves sexual intimacy, but some people have trouble getting it. It is an inate human need. I'm glad that the hospice workers realized that, instead of making it a morality issue.

[Crandor]

46. Sex is not a "need"

Nobody's ever died from not having sex. (Millions of people have died from STDs, though.)

[kestrel91316]

47. I suggest you go tell that to the young man's face.

[Evoman]

58. Yeah, whatever..VIRGIN.

Nobody ever died from not having love, or not having friend's, but I would say I NEED those. I NEEDS THE SEX, so back off ;)

[undergroundpanther]

61. I agree with that one

I go years without and I don't miss it at all. You do it once its boring after that.I can think of many other things better to do than sex.
Some people are asexual.

Sad this guy confused sex with friendship intimacy tenderness, affection and love.
Proximity, affection and innocent friendship,soul love,That is far more powerful than sex. But our culture glorifies sex and frowns on tenderness and soul love.

If you have touching in non sexual deep affectionate bond,it soothes what the heart really craves and sex becomes a lessor concern..and for some sex becomes boring.Soul love trumps sex any day in my book.I fall in love with the heart of a person, I fall in love with who they are and what is inside their mind and emotions.
Because I am asexual, which means I get my kicks above the waistline.
For me sex ruins relationships..

[renate]

28. God bless Sister Frances

What a beautiful and compassionate soul. I know for sure that Jesus is proud of her.

And God bless Nick. He seems like a down-to-earth young man who made his decision carefully and had the courage to tell Sister Frances and his family what was important to him. I'm sorry that it wasn't quite what he was hoping for, but at least he's had the physical experience and won't feel cheated for not having had that.

[yurbud]

36. Yeah, I think the ending was what got me. If he had goofy grin on his face everyday after

the effect of the story would be different.

[aquart]

29. Now that's a nun who truly understands religion.

God bless her.

[133724]

31. Especially since the comandment about adultry

was to treat women as property and not persons....

[aquart]

32. Okay, that was Old Testament.

I prefer the last segment of Proverbs that describes a wife and gives her control of real estate, finances, servants, the fashion industry, manufacturing, retailing, food services, and commands her husband to praise her to others.

[WinkyDink]

34. Does adultery apply to unmarried people?

And perhaps you could re-read that bit about "He who is without sin...."

[Perky]

37. Adultery can only committed by a married person

otherwise it is just fornication.

[wicket]

40. Amen

[Bucky]

30. Hey, that's not funny! It's heart-wrenching.

There's an unwritten rule: hooker threads are supposed to be funny. The only thing funny in this thread is the 1-800-YO-MAMA post.

[yurbud]

35. you want funny? Most hookers are about as hot as Abe Lincoln.

I used to live in Hollywood so I've seen a lot. The only good looking one I ever saw was probably a cop.

[Bucky]

38. Well, okay, that's funny. I mean the part about the dying man having sex with a hooker...

...who looks like Abe Lincoln.

[flying rabbit]

59. you haven't been to Amsterdam.

:evilgrin:

[yurbud]

62. vere da hooker look like Jean-Claude Van Dam?

[NuttyFluffers]

33. aww. kinda feel like saying, "there really is a hooker with a heart of gold."

i'm glad she was very understanding, both the nun and apparently the hooker. still don't understand why prostitution isn't legalized and regulated.

[Conan_The_Barbarian]

43. Yea but now the hooker is a literary cliche!

How could she possibly live with herself!

[Verde]

39. I'm sorry, did that say "Dying man helps Nuns lose virginity before dying?"

Sorry, I had to say it.

[NewJeffCT]

52. The Subject Line did make me think that when scrolling through GD here

I will admit to a double-take.

Good for the hospice, though.

[Lisa]

42. my co-worker's father passed away at that hospice

It's a remarkable place.

[Shine]

44. Wow, as a hospice volunteer, that is definitely a new one!!

what a bittersweet story.

Hospice is an incredible organization. I am privileged to be a part of one.

[1620rock]

51. Hmm, I donno, lot of vulgarity here...It's a sad and sweet story.

[Az_lefty]

48. Sounds like the movie "Theory of Flight"

with Helena Bonham-Carter. A disabled girl tries to get her friend to help her lose her virginity.

[Crabby Appleton]

49. Bless you Sister

[EVDebs]

50. Following the Greatest Commandment

to love one another will often make the wisest man scratch his head. Judge not lest ye be judged.

There's a bit of the Elephant Man in all of us I suppose and the guy who was going to make a joke of this said it all...'until I read more of the article...'

[yurbud]

54. girl I saw ELEPHANT MAN with & I were teary, guy behind us said at end "that wasn't scary AT ALL!"

[GenDem]

53. I have found from personal experience

that some of the most compassionate people are nuns. Bless you, Sister Francis.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

55. The Sisters of Mercy - By Leonard Cohen

O the sisters of mercy they are not
Departed or gone,
They were waiting for me when I thought
That I just cant go on,
And they brought me their comfort
And later they brought me this song.
O I hope you run into them
You whove been traveling so long.

Yes, you who must leave everything
That you cannot control;
It begins with your family,
But soon it comes round to your soul.
Well, Ive been where youre hanging
I think I can see how youre pinned.
When youre not feeling holy,
Your loneliness says that youve sinned.

Well they lay down beside me
I made my confession to them.
They touched both my eyes
And I touched the dew on their hem.
If your life is a leaf
That the seasons tear off and condemn
They will bind you with love
That is graceful and green as a stem.

When I left they were sleeping,
I hope you run into them soon.
Dont turn on the light
You can read their address by the moon;
And you wont make me jealous
If I hear that they sweeten your night
We werent lovers like that
And besides it would still be all right
We werent lovers like that
And besides it would still be all right.

[Cleita]

57. What's next the video, "Nuns Gone Wild"?

Things sure have changed since I was in convent school. LOL!

[Avalon Sparks]

60. Now that's a real Christian...

With the fake Christians being so loud and rude, it's hard to hear sometimes about the real faithful among us.

Here's a picture of Sister Frances Dominica... what a beautiful soul and spirit.




Props to the student for his candor and courage. Many times when it comes to sex... we pay (give something) for it one way or another - especially when we're young and exploring our options.


History of Helen House:

Helen House was the world's first children's hospice, opening in November 1982.

Helen House sprang from a friendship between Sister Frances Dominica and the parents of a seriously ill little girl called Helen, who lived at home with her family but required 24-hour care.

It is natural that the parents of a much-loved but very ill child would want to care for them at home but caring for your child every day and night, as well as caring for the rest of your family, can be exhausting.

On occasions Sister Frances looked after Helen to give her parents a break. Helen’s situation highlighted the need for respite care for children with life-shortening conditions and support for their families.

Helen House was therefore set up to help families cope by providing occasional respite care modelled on that provided in the family home – personalised and tailored to individual needs.

Indeed the building itself was based on the family home with just eight children's bedrooms as the small scale provides flexibility, as well as affording the children and families who stay there sensitivity and dignity. The emphasis is on making the most of life, whatever the circumstances.

Today Helen House continues to provide respite and end of life care in a supportive and positive environment. It is staffed by a multi-skilled professional care team dedicated to a high level of care built around needs of the whole family. There are now over 40 children's hospice services in the UK.
