I Have Psoriasis
I always hesitate to say I suffer from psoriasis. People with severe mental conditions, they suffer. Burn victoms, they suffer. Those who get debilitating migraine headaches out of the clear blue, they suffer.
Psoriasis is a constant discomfort. It sometimes flairs in my case to arthritis that seems to randomly come and go, fickle as the wind. I have what is referred to as plaque psoriasis, a variety that manifests itself in the form of scale and path he's of red, black, pink, and off white over about a third of my body.
This renders me rather self-conscious, really. It is rare that I wear shorts around others. As much as I love to swim, I have passed on opportunities when I am in a period of my skin looking it's worst.
What has amazed me over many years, especially as the condition has progressed, is how unbothered by my imperfect flesh the woman are with whom I have enjoyed various levels of physical intimacy. Psoriasis not withstanding, I do not consider myself terribly handsome or exactly sexy. I equate much of me being the only one all that concerned about the state of my flesh being myself to having by and large finding sapiosexual lovers.
My mind, in ways, has always been my most attractive feature.
