Summary

A woman's relationship takes an unexpected turn when her boyfriend's specialist prescribes daily sex as a treatment, leading to a humorous and ironic twist regarding her own health and his dyslexia.

Abstract

The narrative begins with the protagonist's boyfriend returning from a specialist with an unconventional prescription for daily sex to improve his health. She decides to follow the doctor's advice, despite her own health beginning to suffer as a result. While adhering to this new regimen, she humorously inquires about the specialist's input on her boyfriend's dyslexia, implying that the condition might have been overlooked in favor of the more physically oriented treatment. The story is punctuated with a touch of irony, as the protagonist seems to prioritize her partner's needs over her own well-being, and it concludes with a reference to another story about a travel experience gone awry.

Opinions

  • The protagonist is initially compliant with the prescribed treatment, suggesting a willingness to accommodate her partner's needs.
  • There is a hint of skepticism or humor in her compliance, as indicated by the phrase "Couldn’t hurt, hey?"
  • The mention of her own health deteriorating implies a potential concern for the sustainability or appropriateness of the treatment from her perspective.
  • The question about the boyfriend's dyslexia hints at a possible oversight by the specialist, suggesting that the protagonist values comprehensive healthcare beyond just physical symptoms.
  • The inclusion of a link to another story with a similar theme of "painful sex" indicates a broader narrative or pattern in the protagonist's experiences, which may be a source of reflection or amusement for the reader.

My last boyfriend had to see a specialist, and came back with a prescription for “daily sex”.

Well, fair enough, I thought, we’ll give it a try and see how it goes. Couldn’t hurt, hey?

A few weeks later, my own health was getting pretty rocky, but you know, doctor’s orders, and I am not prone to argue.

As I stretched myself out for the daily regimen, a thought struck me.

“Hey, did the doctor have anything to say about your dyslexia?”
