Definately not!!  I am very afraid of having a male attendant rape
me while I'm in bed.  If there is something I would never allow is
to get mixed emotionally with someone who is working for me.  Did
you really consider that last question seriously or was it a joke
that I didn't catch?  Coming from a latin tradition of machism,
it's hard to accept someone of the same sex handling my private
parts.  My father helps me at night and does the bowel program, and
even with him I don't feel comfortable.
