Young man with Down syndrome decides to wait for Miss Right
July 15th, 2009
From the [UK] Telegraph:
Otto Baxter, 21, who made headlines around the world when his mother said she was even willing to hire a prostitute to fulfill his desire to have sex, has decided he’d rather wait. Baxter has Down syndrome.
His mother, Lucy, said that “since Otto was in the news he has literally been flooded with offers from women” — including Australian sex worker and campaigner Rachel Wotton — “but even though he has been tempted he has never gone through with it.”
“He says to me that he wants to wait for the right girl which I think is fantastic. He has come to a mature decision and I am very proud of him for that.”

Heather,
I’m guessing the reason this story is out there is because his mother had offered to hire someone to fulfill her son’s “needs.”

Making the mature decision to wait for the right person to have sex with is a decision made by people every day. What makes this man’s decision “news”?
