@ryu855 The biggest problem will be finding someone interested in you as a person, not as someone to fill a sexual fantasy that is over after they get done.

What I find, being a T5-6, severed at T-4, we deal with autonomic disreflexia in times of stress in paralyzed regions, well sexual organs are somewhat similar, but cause increased pulse rates, and other heightened senses that can't be explained, we just don't feel it like those who aren't disabled. Lets not forget it's a matter of the mind, our brain isn't damaged, so we retain the same needs as others.

You are so right! People think women with disabilities can't have sex, and if they try, they're probably being forced into it so need protecting! I dated a woman who also has the same disability as me, and her parents freaked out and called the police. They said that due to her speech problems, she has the mind of a child, and children cannot give consent. I wonder if they told HER that? She's upset because I'm not allowed to see her anymore, but the system feels it's what's best.
