Is it really a *preference* for me as a PWD if the person could care less what I'm like as a person, as long as I've got four wheels? I think it's objectification, no different than guys for whom breast size is the only deciding factor for a sexual partner.

[Pinkcrusader]

But then you're not talking about a Devotee you're talking about a person with a disability fetish. Or at least someone who is really shallow and can't see passed the physical like the guy who only cares about big breasts. A shallow dev will just want the wheels, a normal one will like the wheels but if you're an ass they don't want you. I know too many devs that are great to not call it a preference.

[Pinkcrusader]

Though I think that you being a lady might get the more shallow devs giving you the most attention. Not that all straight male devs are shallow, guys are simply more visually stimulated and as a result are more interested in what they see. But I'm just speculating.

I thought so too.. I read somewhere that there are wayyy more male devs than female (although it's very common for women to be more comfortable with dating a guy with a disability whether they are devs or not), and it cetainly seems that way - I've seen so many of those trashy stealth youtube vids of women with disabilities and it creeps me out.

[Pinkcrusader]

Yeah I think those videos are from fetishists with voyeuristic tendencies. They just think they're devs.  But its a disability fetish.

wow, thanks man, i've just recently stumble upon this whole concept, and before i always just thought i was some kind of a freak b/c i find men in wheelchairs very attractive. iam pretty sure that iam a devotee (not a fetishist). theres this really cute guy who i go to college with in a chair, and i'd find him cute even if he wasnt, but i dont wanna just go up and talk to him bc i dont want him to think iam only talking to him bc of his chair...

[Pinkcrusader]

Just say hi what's the worst that can happen? People in chairs like to feel hot too.

Thanks for posting this!! As a disabled guy myself (albeit a married one) I've been through the whole thing with girlfriends (and my wife) having to defend themselves against people lambasting them for being with someone in a wheelchair. Bravo to you, sir. And may you find that smoking hot brunette!

@351460 I believe that it is starting to change. I think we will soon see more women "coming out of the closet" about this. In fact, I hope to help them do so with the novels I write about the female dev experience!

[351460]

@RuthMadison It definitely seems that males are more open about their attraction to women who are physically different. I do not know why, in the more open society of the current era, that women who find disabled men attractive tend to keep it a secret.

Are they perhaps worried about scorn or ridicule?

They should not be--everyone is entitled to their preferences.

The disabled women I have known seem to be evenly divided in their acceptance of those who are attracted by their differences.

@351460 I think there's more of us female devs than it seems. We're quiet and hidden a lot of the time!

[chula87111]

@RuthMadison yes we are ;)

im disabled n i find that girls get put off dating me i have spina bifida

Apparently--there are far more male devotees than female ones, though I have heard of several non-disabled women who are attracted to disabled men. Sites such as OverGround give some background on the phenomena, and there is more information available through links posted on DevGuide.

I never really thanked you for posting this. I am definitely a devotee, and I've known this for about 15 years... since I was a pre-teen. I also thought I was a total freak but now I don't think so. I am a female and I really don't know how many female vs male devs are out there. Never had the opportunity to love a disabled man.

[lalunazul12]

You're cute....
