SOMETHING’S GOING ON WITH DAD…
"I am presently 44 years old. I am a heterosexual male. I am a father. And in an unprecedented show of stubbornness and contemplation, I recently spent nearly four years both single and abstinent. No dating. No relationships, and no sex. No women at all.
To authenticate this fact, a few months ago, my seven-year-old child who never sees me in the company of women other than family friends, asked me if I was gay.
Nope. Still straight. But even this harmless little anecdote told me something: either there is something inherently fabulous about me that even a child can detect, or, even at seven a child knows enough about the common human narrative and societal expectation, to know something must be going on with Dad who doesn’t live with mom and never, ever seems to hang around any women… I’ve even had grown men try and wrap their heads around what I was doing. That I was finished with women, yet not switching to men, because I had a penis and I must be putting it somewhere. Why would anyone with options choose not to have sex at least sometimes…?
Why indeed. Something WAS going on with Dad. "
