I'm able bodied but I can still relate in some ways. People don't want to be with me because of HIV. I get it but there is a such thing as safe sex. I'm undetectable anyway so it's impossible to transmit accidentally but a lot of ppl don't understand that. Many still have images in their minds from the horror that it mostly was in the 1980s and half of the 90s. I've been poz undetectable since I was 19, I'm 39 now and coming up on 20 years. Dating was a little easier when I was a young "twink", but now I haven't even bothered to try in a long time, years even. The key is to just be happy and okay with being single and not making it seem like a big deal or that your really overly wanting a connection with someone. And never give up hope! Merry Christmas! Sending love and blessings from Pennsylvania, USA.

This has been so eye opening! Sexuality is Human and there’s no reason why a physical disability should be a barrier to that. Thank you so much for sharing the knowledge :-)

I am disabled and gay but they are separate part of me, I am lucky been in a relationship for 23 years

I can totally relate to the feeling of your body not being your own when you need help with stuff like hygiene. Its no fun at all. Can even cause trauma responses at times or over time. And its not at all hot to even think of staff at the same time as anything even remotely sex related. Its a real turnoff.

I am not interested in sex at all.....not with able or disabled people. I am "equal opportunity"!
