Do-gooders of the World Unite!

Do-gooders of the World Unite!

I  know that I speak for the community of those who live in sexless marriages when I say that being able to express myself openly, unashamed of myself, a living human being who has feelings and an awareness of the struggles of being in a relationship where one spouse or partner no longer functions sexually, no longer cares, no longer performs, no longer has a libido, no longer has needs, no longer desires, no longer has the strength, is wheelchair bound, who has no sense of reciprocity, who has lost the will to share themselves, the million and one reasons why the emotional side of the relationship has been strip mined of its most important function, is a blessing that is uncompared with the loneliness of being silent and suffering alone and without hope of ever being touched again as long as I live.  The unbearable is only slightly less gruesome just because I can communicate my emotions and needs, and those who do not understand this yet have not sat next to your spouse riddled with cancer, shrunken with Alzheimer's, broken with a stroke, or crushed with a heart attack.  No, for those do-gooders who do not see the need in this communication, they have not reached that bridge yet, and for those of us who have reached it extra early, 30 years ahead or more, facing a lifetime of a sexless marriage, I suppose for you it would be better for us to break our vows and throw our spouses away, or perhaps you would rather that we face our last 30 years with no sex at all. Sleeping alone.  Unable to speak.  Incapable of intimacy.  Lonely, for a third of a century, and maybe that would somehow meet some standard of humanity you have.  To you do-gooders, I say, "Your turn  is coming!"

We must save humanity
from those
in sexless marriages
who must express
their sexuality
even though
they lie lonely
in their separate beds
at night
untouched
by human hands
for days
and weeks
and months
and years.

God forbid
that these heathens
should tell us
of their emotional lives
and communicate
to those of us
who have spouses
who will still look us
in the eyes
and tell us
how they lust after us
or perhaps
we have long forgotten
what it was like
to feel the surge
of human beingness
and we must
avoid the thought
of contact
so much
that we must
send out this warning:

Save yourselves!  

These sex craved maniacs
are discussing their feelings
and mean to communicate
their emotions
openly and with awareness.  

They dare to dream
of what it was like
those years ago
when someone bothered
to touch their nakedness
or hold them
in their sleep.  

What sick
and depraved minds dare
to openly bare their souls
and allow us all
to see their emotional needs
and desires?  

The filth
and hellishness
of their wanting
to be loved and desired;
it is out and out disgusting!  

We must alarm the world!  

There is a time
when humans must no longer
be allowed to think
of when they were young,
to dream of dancing,
to desire to fondle someone close,
or to speak
of such outrageousnesses
as being in bed and having sex
and being frantic
in their need
to be in consort
with another.  

Our old people
should be sheltered,
sexless,
and without any hope
of ever being
touched again
as long as they live.  

It is an abomination
to want to be sexual
and we should point out
for everyone
just who they are
that would ever again
want to touch
another human being
as long as they live.
