So the answer would be, yes, I would do that. But I don't know whether I would have done it when I was healthy. But as I say, it's not a question one can answer.

Unlike most of the people that I was in hospital with, They can't go back to work. None of them have gone back to work. You know, if you're a truck driver or you're a street cleaner or you're a postman or whatever, none of those men or women can go back to work. So they go back home and they lie in bed and they watch TV. My job, thankfully, is a talking and writing job. And I work outside.

Every day, as I described to you earlier. And that's part of an important part of our relationship. She works and I work and I have the dignity of my work. I've written Shattered. I'm writing other stuff, as I've said. And I feel that, you know, it's my part of the relationship, that I earn money, that I support us. I'm a father to my son.

So I'm still doing stuff in the world and I have some dignity there. I haven't been robbed of my ability to function, to be creative. In fact, I'm writing more now, even though I'm disabled, than I did before, and I'm very happy to work. And I go to work in the morning with great energy and belief, and that's important in our relationship for both of us.

Yeah, it's an interesting thing and something I've discussed with male friends of mine, mostly because, you know, when you get to our age, a lot of my male friends have problems with their prostates, as you can imagine. And some of those guys were, you know, very horny in their younger years. And then suddenly, when it's gone... It's an absence, but it's also a mercy.

You do feel released from some terrible agency and you look with amusement at other people's bizarre activities, actually. So I don't particularly miss it. I don't particularly care about it because there really are other forms of human intercourse, other forms of human love, other forms of touching and kissing and being with somebody else in a sensual way.

I think probably it's a real narrowing of the sexual spectrum to think that there are only a few ways in which you can be sexual. I think sexuality and sensuality is a much broader thing than we grow up thinking, to be honest. So you can find other ways of loving other people that are not necessarily sexual in the most overt sense, actually.
