It takes all sorts
Is it me? I honestly can't fathom this out.
I have just read about a young-ish woman, still in her early 30's, who says she has a sexual phobia. She hates sex. She tried it once, and didn't like it. The thought makes her sick.
When she met a nice young man around the same age. They did a bit of hand holding and shared a kiss, but she thought it fair to tell him she would never have sex with him.
He accepted this, and after a while they moved in together. Not only did they have separate beds, she insisted on separate bedrooms even. She said the thought of sleeping with him made her feel sick. She allows him into her bed for a cuddle, then sends him packing when she wants to sleep.
After they had been together for a while, she decided she wanted a baby. Big problem seeing as she won't have sex!
Then she saw one of those 'Reborn Dolls' that look and feel like a live baby. Her partner went out and bought her one.
The woman bought a carry cot and pram and named it Joshua. She bottle feeds it, changes nappies, takes it out and about in the pram and generally treats it the same as a live child, although neighbours ask her why she is pushing a doll around.
She says her boyfriend is proving to be a good 'Dad' to Joshua, but she wants him to be more 'hands on' and give it a bottle and change nappies.
They have now decided they would also like a real baby, but they want a girl "as we already have a son."!!!
She told him she will use his sperm, but she is trying to inseminate herself with a - wait for it - a turkey baster!!
She says so far it is not working, but they will keep trying.
They are now in the middle of buying all 'Joshua's' christmas presents. . . .
You never know what goes on behind closed doors, do you.
