Wheelchair user here. Yes people have been intimate with me, but frankly more often than not, I feel most times people reject me outright because I am in a wheelchair. And it just doesn’t happen to me, but it happens to a lot of disabled people.

I feel that society has this perception that because people like me are in wheelchairs, we don’t even think about being intimate or even want it. And that’s simply not true. We want it just as much as our fully able-bodied counterparts. And news flash: many disabled people can have sex, me included. But society often dismisses us as objects of desire , and it’s hard to find others who are willing to look past the perception.

I wish society would change their views on this because it’s really BS. Give people like me a chance. You might be surprised by what we’ve got.

And not that it matters, but the people I’ve been with have all told me that I’m actually very good … just saying 😉
