Loren after necessary catastrophic surgery
Loren (18) was asked this question after a forklift fell on him and crushed everything from his pelvis down.

He said he didn’t care if he is a head on a plate, he chooses life. When you feel down about your sex life, think about Loren, he doesn’t even have his sexual organs anymore. Or legs. Or his right hand. And he is still living his life to the fullest. Even recently getting married.
