I agree, he's probably the most realistic portrayal (and on a soap? sad!), although I can't say I relate to him at all, personally. Maybe I need a paisley tie?<br /><br />K, I wish I knew. On the Shakesville post, someone couldn't even think of a bisexual character with a healthy sexuality. So for those of us whose experiences of sexuality are even lesser known...it's pretty quiet out there.Ilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12795337226989102549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223027726680052006.post-23230676271814240132010-04-17T14:01:23.042-07:002010-04-17T14:01:23.042-07:00Whew, I meant to post on this days ago.
That que...Whew, I meant to post on this days ago. <br /><br />That question was too hard for me to answer. I don't always participate in QoTD but this is one I wanted to. Unfortunately, I couldn't.<br /><br />Name a character in the media who has vulvodynia and a healthy sexuality. Name someone in the media with vaginismus and a healthy sexuality.<br /><br />The only ones I could think of were Charlotte from Sex and the City and Susanna Kaysen. I don't think that Charlotte's sexuality is unhealthy, but her vulvodynia happened in 1 episode and was never mentioned again. Susanna Kaysen is a real person so I don't feel comfortable using her as an example. Her expression of sexuality is closer to mine than Charlotte's though, since in her memoir, there's no real resolution. <br /><br />But if you've got any ideas I'm all ears.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223027726680052006.post-65454834021247535872010-04-17T04:24:36.036-07:002010-04-17T04:24:36.036-07:00Yeah, asexuality seems to be used mostly as a sugg...Yeah, asexuality seems to be used mostly as a suggestion of a bigger personality flaw most of the time. Take Sheldon and Dexter, for example, their asexualities couldn't really be seen as positive things, especially when they're put into the real world.<br /><br />Gerald from Shortland Street (is that plotline still going? Not checked for a long time) is a good example of positive asexuality. Yes, he's a bit whiney and idiotic, like most soap characters, but he's a genuinely positive person who carves out an asexy niche for himself. He's a real human who happens to be asexual.SlightlyMetaphysicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17891271827553008521noreply@blogger.com
