The person in the photo is the monk Mihailo Tolotos, the holder of a record that many could never match: he lived his entire life without ever having seen a woman in person. HISTORY

How do people who are born blind know they’re sexually attracted to men or women anyways? Are they all technically pansexual since they won’t be attracted to a person based on their appearance, but by their personality? Or do they get attracted by their partner’s body?

u/Illustrious_Fix_9898 1d ago

I’m deaf, but I can see quite well. In 1998 I began messaging with a man I’d met through a poetry forum in which we were both active. He lived in California and I in NY. We exchanged numerous messages and chatted for hours. In the age before selfies and HD and all that, we didn’t see much of each other’s appearance. When he came to visit me in 1999 I — unashamedly — tripped him and beat him to the floor. We could never get enough of each other from that point until he died 14 years later. He was, physically, not my “type” at all. I’d often rhetorically query him, “What’s the biggest sex organ in the human body?” The answer is, the brain. Desire has little to do with tits and dicks.

He is wearing the cape of an accomplished monk. In Finnish they are called "skeemamunkki".

These are people who have lived as monks for decades, have proven to be exceptionally accomplished, and are then given this special cape and released from mundane work in the cloister, like making food and cleaning, so they can concentrate on prayer during all their waking hours.
