The Michael Lacey era at the Village Voice is reaping rewards and reaching new heights of journalistic excellence:

Before Larry Seiler has sex, he often takes a hot shower. The heat relaxes his muscles, which are tight from cerebral palsy. In doggy-style, one of his favorite positions, he props his hands behind his knees to be sure they don’t buckle. If he hadn’t figured that trick out, he’d be stuck in missionary, a position he doesn’t find quite as satisfying. A wall, chair, or something steady must be handy just in case his thrusting throws him off-kilter. He has to be understanding of his partners, who, with few exceptions in his life, have also been a mixture of physically and learning disabled. Larry can navigate a wheelchair as well as negotiate legs that don’t work well. He has experienced women with tremors who grab his penis too hard. But he doesn’t get mad. He has been with women who’ve had poor muscle control, suffering from multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy. As a result of this, spontaneous muscle contractions during sex have, on various occasions, caused Larry’s penis to get stuck inside both the front and rear orifices. He’s patient and calms them, waiting for their minds to take control back from their bodies. Larry has to take care to wear a condom; not only is he protecting himself from disease, but he’s also protecting the women he’s with — for many of whom carrying a child would be dangerous — from an early death.
