ORIGINAL: LacedCorset We have heard alot of negative towards the writer....meaning MY thoughts. I would really like to hear from someone that is disabled and how they cope with it in the lifestyle whether it be dom or sub. Yes in this fashion disabled could mean vision deficits to physical set backs. How do you and your partner work together? Or if you are single, how do you explain it to a new partner? Does it make a big difference to them? I've just spent an age trying to write a reply to this. Short version: I'm disabled, I explain it clearly and slowly, cos I do get that it's complicated. It does not limit my capacity to have relationships. I'd suggest that a bigger problem in the last relationship was that I don't do needles, at all, compared to the fact that I have a string of "issues" both physical and mental. We had to be conscious of my health concerns, and I had to be careful, but it never stopped us doing anything we wanted to do/he wanted to do/he had planned. My not liking needles did mean I didn't participate at all in a play party at the house. And that something he enjoys a lot couldn't be something we shared. There are far more limiting factors in a relationship than disability. If my disabilities are going to be an issue to someone I'm serious about, they aren't the right person for me. But, I've got to say, the few people I've been serious about calling a friend or something more have *all* *without exception* been ok with it. (Ok, one took a little while to come around, but he did, yay for him.) We can't choose the cards we're dealt, just how we go about playing them. And it's your perogative to discount people with diabilities, it's your choice to limit yourself in that way. Like many others though, I'm curious as to what you would consider a disability, and what impact it has to have on your life for it to be limiting. (I mean, I need to eat regularly, blood sugar issues, does that limit my life?)
