You can feel however you want about it, but few guys are going to commit to the rest of their life without penetrative sex. "Pleasuring each other in other ways" works a lot better for women than it does for men. Then again, there might be some.
I wouldn't argue with you too much over whether or not your statements are largely accurate, but am saying they are really enough to make someone stop and think. I mean, giving up the ability to walk just to barter for 'love' and affection that may come and go anyway? How sad and screwed up the world really is.
Something no one has mentioned yet is that society tends to view people who use wheelchairs as largely asexual. Awesome advocates like Tiffiny Carlson at
http://www.beautyability.com/2.0/about/ are trying to change this, but these sterotypes and misconceptions are still really pervasive. What I'm getting at is that by having the surgery and potentially becoming a wheelchair user for life, there is a chance she could get rejected by a lot of guys who will just assume wheelchair = total inability to have sex. It's kind of a catch 22.
