I have seen a few profiles where the person or the persons partner was disabled over the time I have been on fab. That's the thing with sex, once you are on a bed it does not really matter

and every one needs sexual contact every once in a while. I have in the past bee. With a woman who could only just about walk with the aid of a frame but certainly enjoyed herself in the bedroom

I'd chat with anyone, doesn't mean I'd play with them. If Daniel Craig was in a wheelchair and gagging for it it'd be a no as my playroom with my brackets and hooks etc are on the third floor!

Not sure whether I'd arrange a 1:1 with a wheelchair user as my house isn't disabled friendly, but I've chatted with people with varying disabilities in vanilla and swinging life and visited a club with a disabled friend...was also pretty much disabled before I had my hip replaced a coupla years ago (wheelchair access through Manchester Airport was an eye-opener for me)...as others have said, it's not the disability, it's the person

I work in the community with adults with learning disabilities and physical disabilities and constantly come into contact with the bless em brigade.I was guilty of this myself befor I went into this field but with all my training (which the general public doesn't have) I can see how detrimental it can be to the people it is aimed at.It's never meant to be insulting it just that people care but arnt aware of the effect their words can have

It just takes a little thought and understanding on both sides befor we speak

the poster who made the cup of tea didn't have to do that, it was an act of kindness that would have been given to anyone, even me, and im very difficult to please lol.

I think different parts of the country have different expressions. Having made friends with people on here that we wouldn't come across ordinarily we have found the differences fun. I have learnt that bless you, cock, chick etc are terms of endearment and take them as such.....just because I don't use them in my world doesn't make them wrong - we are all different and that includes our terminology

In the first statement I took the bless him part to be related to him 'having the time of his life' not the fact that he had a disability! I grew up with a dad in a wheelchair so I understand that some people do have a patronising attitude towards the disabled (I've seen it many times) but that doesn't mean we tar everyone with the same brush! Plus remember that when it's written down with no intonation meaning can be very easily misconstrued.

If you can't see the difference between manners and being patronising perhaps you should become a hermit?

I hold doors open for people of all abilities, I offer to help people of all abilities if they are struggling etc. That's not patronising.

Patronising is assuming that disabled people can't have sex and saying things like 'bless they're or 'its cute' or 'if they still want to play, good on em'. IMO of course

Maybe 20 years or so ago people with physical disabilities didn't get equality in the way they should have. Fast forward to 2014 present and here... it is the norm now and personal I don't bat a single eye lash when I see disability on the streets. The only disability lies within the mind of the disabled pperson.we have peaked equality and to be honest if my mate was chair bound or whatever.. I wouldn't give a shit it's still him!

All this proves is how little you know of disability and equality in this country!

Equality isn't just about how many services disabled people can access it's the way that everyone treats people. You're earlier comment of how this thread was 'cute' shows how some people still see disabled people doing everyday things as a novelty act or something.

Phrases like chair bound can be offensive also. Like you define the person by the fact they are in a wheelchair. My sister had to use a wheelchair when she was 5 and she was far from bound to the thing! She was rarely in it. My dad had to rescue her from the top of a playhouse in the park once lol

Being as a disabled swinger who is confined in a wheelchair. The one thing I do find it very irritating is when I write to people they will delete my message, which is entitled to but What really does annoy me is when they block me off their page.

I believe that there is no need for this. Because if they delete my message which they are entitled to, I have no problem with that. Some people might send a reply back. Then I Cinden replies saying thank you for their feedback. But to block somebody offered praise is I think very rude.

Can I ask disabled people or able-bodied people whether you agree with this practice and of course any disabled people has this happened to you?

We have admired a disabled couples profile on here, where they sounded/looked lovely...I wanted to send a message, but didnt know what to say...started writing and struggled to get the words right and left it in the end.

Part of that may be the fear of being politically correct. In reality I know they are normal people just like us...but because of the pc hype I'm worried about accidentally offending by saying the wrong thing/coming across as a novelty hunter/do we mention the disability/dont we etc....start overthinking and end up just keeping quiet!

I wonder if an important thing to realise is that people are people?

When you've met one person wth a disability, you've only met that one person.

Don't group everyone together with a label and assume it defines those people.

Slightly different but when I was going through infertility, I was discussing with friends (also going through infertility) about some of the incredibly hurtful things people say without thinking.

Turned out that some of us thought stuff was fine and others got offended.

Because everyone is different.

There were universal things not to say like "why don't you just adopt?" however.

"I wonder if an important thing to realise is that people are people?

When you've met one person wth a disability, you've only met that one person.

Don't group everyone together with a label and assume it defines those people.

Slightly different but when I was going through infertility, I was discussing with friends (also going through infertility) about some of the incredibly hurtful things people say without thinking.

Turned out that some of us thought stuff was fine and others got offended.

Because everyone is different.

There were universal things not to say like "why don't you just adopt?" however.

I posted ages ago about having psoriasis and swinging.

Mine is currently quite severe, although getting better. It's kinda horrific to look at and really knocks my confidence. I always have to warn a guy before he decides whether to go ahead with a meet.

Plus it's simultaneously incredibly itchy and very painful at it's worst, and uncomfortable when less severe. It has a huge impact on people's lives when it gets very bad.

Quite a few forum members posted who also have psoriasis.

I don't remember anyone coming onto the thread and saying "oh how brave they are, bless them" or something similar.

I'm trying to decide how I'd feel if someone had done that.

I can't help but think I'd feel really patronised?

I also wouldn't want it drawn attention to constantly, I like to forget about it. I have enough daily reminders as it is.

There's a difference between saying "I don't know how I'd cope if I was in a wheelchair, how much support do you get? Is there anything I can do?"

And saying "oh isn't he brave".

The latter really does sound like those people who talk to the carer of a disabled person about them, like the person with the disability isn't there. It's what you do with babies, not adults.

Actually never given it much consideration before - but none of the clubs I frequent are disabilaty/wheelchair friendly! They all have lots of stairs - usually very steep ones - hence itmust be difficult to enjoy the social aide of swinging if you're disabled!

You're absolutely spot on Butt, because of that I have not been able to enjoy the club scene

despite clubs having a stutory obligation to comply with the Equality Act and make reasonable adjustments, I dread to think or even conduct a straw poll of which clubs would actively go out of their way to welcome and make reasonable adjustments for disabled people? If there any club owners reading this thread, pay attention, you are running the risk by not complying and actively welcoming disabled people.

I thought people with disabilities just wish to be treated as everyone else is?

If this is the case then you should simply accept that some may wish not to meet you purely because of your disability.

People who are excluded for other reasons, i.e being black, white, Asian, too short, too fat, too skinny, too old, too young, are told to concentrate on those that do wish to meet them and not those that don't.

You can't help your disability, just as some of the above examples can't help the reason they get rejected. Get over it and deal...

Depending on a possible meet being able to get up to my 1st floor flat (I've a slipped disc n bad sciatica myself so of limited use on that score) not a problem. I also have a military background and am an ex care assistant so differences in body like amputations don't bother me, my only concern would be causing any pain.

The trouble with the website is that people are to quick to judge, and will delete or block.

I like the larger lady but it seems to me it's okay to be fat, yet disabilities are still taboo in the 21st Century. I would like to say look at the person, find out more about the person, ask questions, see what make tick, just don't judge a person from a couple of paragraphs.

After 1 out of 4 people are disabled whether physically or mentally.

the trouble with relying on historic figures of speach is that people need to recognise that offence is easily taken, and what was perfectly acceptable many years ago, suddenly becomes very shocking to some, causes imense upset and is considered as being patronising....bless him, would rattle my cage as welll; though I know that it isn't meant in a derogatory way, it conjours up images of handicaped and helplessness, something that we are not and will not allow people to use language that reminds of! we are disabled by the non disabled persons world and society that we have to live in, that is all!

I did just that a few weeks ago. I couldn't use the tube as my nearest stations are inaccessible. I couldn't go on the train for the same reason. Competing with buggies on the bus was interesting but what was more interesting was someone close to me saying they didn't want to go on the bus with me as getting the ramp in place takes too long and holds up the service.

If someone is physically, or mentally not able to do something - through injury or trauma, how is that society impairing them. There could be all the love in the world, combined with all the escalators in the world, but if someone has say Agoraphobia, all the social adjustments in the world will not help being stranded on a hill. Similarly, a double amputee, cannot reasonably expect to undertake a journey an able bodied person would due to sores, or physical fatigue (I am giving off the top of my head examples here). There is nothing, prejudice, but you have to realise that there are personal limitations - disability, as I said earlier, is a recognition of an inability.

I couldn't meet a wheelchair user at my house as its not practical.

If I was becoming friends with someone their disability wouldn't bother me in the least, but I'm the kind of person to ask lots of questions and how it affects them.

I also like to be educated on things I'm ignorant off.

When will some realise this is FANTASY...a HOBBY. We will NOT appeal to everyone so get over it. In the real world most people don't bat an eyelid at "differences" and our lives are often enriched by the people we meet. Whilst I have friends and family of different ages, nationalities, abilities etc for play purposes my fantasy figure is not a Harry Styles lookalike or someone in a wheelchair. Likewise there are people who like chatting to me and meeting socially but an old, fat, black woman doesn't float their boat sexually.

I had an m fb who was in a wheelchair. He was a great bloke. Had he been able bodied he'd have had all the ladies after him.

And despite the fact his legs didn't work the sex was amazing. Obviously some positions were out of the question but it was always fun.

He gave up the game to find a relationship in the end.

He was a lovely person. Not just a wheelchair.

I agree we all have needs but sex isn't a need: we can survive in ourselves without it. It provides a lot of things that supply the blocks of feeling well and happy but it's not food and water.

By putting NSA sex into a needs category puts people who don't want to meet that need as the bad guys and it's just not that simple.

I have met people with observable disabilities and those with hidden disabilities. I've taken it further than a social with some and not with others. The initial meeting was because that person interested me and I interested them. I am not interested in adding lots of disabled people from Fab to my social or sexual circles just because they have a disability and a "need" to meet me. Just as I'm not willing to meet anyone from Fab because they feel a "need" to meet me because they haven't had sex for a month or with a black woman or whatever "need" they are claiming.

Part of this thread is incredibly reassuring, refreshing and uplifting as always great to hear people's positive attitudes/encouragement of people with disabilities enjoying this lifestyle.

There also seems to be a lot of oversensitivity because the spectrum of disability is so wide and vast that somebody will always say something that can be misconstrued and cause offence but at the end of the day people cannot become more informed if simple colloquial comments are taken the wrong way or misconstrued.

I've been in a chair now for over 15 years and our profile is honest and out there but I'd be horrified to think that people are put off from messaging us for fear of saying the wrong thing. My attitude towards disability is that I would rather people ask what they may perceive to be an awkward question rather than not, and never finding out the answer. When we start conversing with people then usually find the people ask the most questions are the people that you are going to hit it off with as they are already thinking about ways of mixing things up so that the disability doesn't define our fun going forward.

I think the comment regarding most people meeting at clubs is way off the mark as you only see that on a few profiles and yes there are lots of clubs that are inaccessible but if you really want to attend one there are plenty of accommodating ones around the country. It might just be a case that you have to make a weekend of it If it's a fair distance away

As I said this lifestyle has surprised us massively in terms of people's attitudes to looking at ability rather than disability and we have had some amazing times and met some great people along the way.

Life with a disability is always going to present different challenges but at the end of the day the majority face challenges every day of their lives in one way or another, so you really do just have to crack on and love your life.

Also, try to think past the fact that people are not wanting to meet you because of your disability because at the end of the day it boils down to the age-old comment on here that constantly appears and that people's preferences which we are all fully entitled to. People get knocked back for a multitude of different reasons, so don't always assume it's because of your condition or disability

Don't be bitter be better

And is there a point to it.... Shall we highlight that we have disabilities because we're abnormal.... Idiot springs to mind.

I've been on the site 5 years, a BBW with a prosthetic leg, other health issues and heavily tattooed, and I don't have any problems. I've had some really good meets, and some not so good. I'm upfront about what I'm looking for and you can always tell when people haven't read your profile, but if someone decides it's not for them and vice versa, I use the block button. Each to their own but I've never been offended by anyone.

I watched a programme on bbc 3 recently called "The ugly face of disability: hate crime" lots of things in that show that I was totally unaware of and makes for interesting _iewing. It's on iplayer still for a few more weeks . Whether you are disabled or not I advise to watch it as it'll open your eyes to different ways disability can be judged in general life.

It happens in life so expect same on line, sad when someone has to use someone else's indifferences for self esteem

Swinging as far as we're aware is a cross section of society, fully expected disabled people to be part of it.

Are you saying if someone doesn't play with a disabled person it's down to ego?!!

"
nobody so far has suggested that, each one of the protected characteristics within the equality act attracts its own discrimination, race hatred and crime resulting from that I believe is still a criminal offence (may be wrong) whereas disability hate crime I'm not sure about, maybe you know?

People think I'm a novelty or that I need sympathy shags, so I'd rather not meet anymore.

Hmmm? shame, your verifications don't come across that way, and you're obviously still meeting or is it starting 1st August
