Quote: I'm more inclined to wonder how many truly LD people have ever experienced a really fulfilling sexual experience. That seems to be more apparant to me. True many of them have been raised dysfunctionally, but so have many HD people.
I absolutely agree that my LD guy has never had great sober sex. He really doesn't know what the possibilities are. But besides generic dysfunction from which many (dare I say "all"?) of us suffer, it seems that more than one person has commented that their LD spouse didn't have the same-sex parent around.
Regarding my comment on Catholics and Jews (I am both! ), I was echoing someone else who had initially noticed and commented on that... I think it was Laurie... can't remember, and browser too slow for me to search at the moment.
I'm not a statistician... what an odd question... but I do look for patterns, reasons, ANYTHING to make sense of the situation I'm in. I'm curious as to why you notice this tendency of mine? I guess I'm trying to feel "normal" in some way, and one of the ways I do this is by observing what other people do and comparing it to what I do. When my husband died four years ago, one of the things that got me through was the constant thought "millions and millions of people throughout history have gotten through this and if they can do it, I can do it."
I'm wondering if someone in your past continually held up numbers and generalizations that you felt did not apply to you... that they were cancelling you out with statistics and seeming to squash your individuality?
