Guest guest Posted September 7, 2000 Report Share Posted September 7, 2000 Hi all, DisabledPerson.Com was made aware of the dialogue from the September 5th show of Politically Incorrect. In the course of the show, the host brought up an article written about Prince of England who is championing sexual surrogacy for the disabled. His remarks outlined in bold below were not only distasteful but were demeaning to the disabled community. We have sent the e-mail below to ABC.Com expressing our feelings about these remarks. I'm writing to all of you to ask you to send e-mails to ABC to voice your concerns and demand an apology. E-mails can be sent to webmaster@.... Let's flood their mailbox. We can't sit by without a response to this. This casual conversation is an indication of how the disabled are perceived. Let's change their perception. Malfa-DisabledPerson.Com. www.disabledperson.com. To whom it may concened , my name is Malfa and I am the publisher of the online magazine DisabledPerson.Com. I want to let you know that I received a number of e-mails regarding the September 5th, 2000 PI show where your host Bill called the disabled " the most frustrated people in the world who cannot, in any way, find sexual intimacy " I'm telling you that the disabled community is not laughing even if your host is. His remarks were insensitive and cruel to say the least. His lack of human compassion is an abomination. The disabled viewers watching PI were hurt by this man's insensitivity. I'm going to post his remarks on our Issues and Opinion page so that all of our members can read what he said. I think that an apology is in order. Malfa I read this in the paper last week about Prince of England is championing sexual surrogacy for the disabled, which really means prostitution for the disabled, who are very often the most frustrated people in the world who cannot, in any way, find sexual intimacy. It's almost like being married. [ Laughter ] I kid, of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you that this is a disturbing and disgusting thing to say. Good luck with the campaign. And good on Prince !

Ok Confession time, I have read this and re-read this and am more confused, what is sexual surrogacy? Is this good? I really don't mean to sound stupid but I have no idea what this means, ............. There are two meanings really Nerys. Surrogate is a substitute - a thing in the place of another. However it is also a person who stands up for another person or cause. I believe that in this case - He is championing (Campaigning and supporting) sexual surrogacy for the disabled. (sexual activity for the disabled.) In other words - He is fighting for the rights of the disabled to be sexually active in any way they are able to manage. Its a good thing to be supporting. However this host, turned it all around to make out that the disabled are unable to achieve any sexual satisfaction and used it as the basis for what he believed to be a joke "sounds like marriage" ... degrading the disabled community. That was the bad thing. Does that help?

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2000 Report Share Posted September 9, 2000 " I read this quite differently - a surrogate is a substitute. In this case a substitute for a disabled person. What I read is that he is championing the cause to allow able bodied spouses to have an accepted sexual surrogate for their disabled spouse. It would not be an immoral affair, but an open accepted person in the marriage. EXCUSE ME???????????????? " Wow, ouch, I think you just might be right. That is really bad. and really cruel too.

Sex is more than just intercourse, it is touching and holding, closeness and intimacy. Unless we are comatose we are able to do at least SOMETHING sexual. At any rate, I readi it totally the opposite of how you did. Since I am not in the UK, I am not aware of what types of actions he is taking on this, which may certainly clarify his stand.
