    You don’t want to put yourself in those situations. I agree with your Mum. Safeguarding you will feel like control.. but it is better to be safe.

    She's right, never hook up with some random stranger, you don't know where's he's been or who he's been with?

    Yeah but you can ask if he is free from STD

    True but what if he lies? What about pregnancy? If you don't know anything about him other than what he tells you he may be really dangerous.

    If you want a relationship that isn't just about sex, could you go out with friends and meet people who have similar interests to you - maybe some hobbies you enjoy or would like to try? Or do you have any friends who could maybe help you to meet someone they know?

    Even in a no-strings relationship based on sex, one person can begin to have feelings for the other, which are not reciprocated.

    If you do meet up with new people alone at least you could let a trusted friend or family member know where you are going and with whom. For safety reasons. This is sound advice for everyone.

    I know it can seem as though everyone else is finding the dating game easier than you. But people can encounter all different kinds of problems and are rejected or ignored for all kinds of different reasons.

    Whatever you decide to do I hope you ensure you stay safe.

    Stop trying to hook up. Hookups are hellish for people without intellectual disabilities; it's pretty much impossible for ID people unless they can mask their ID.

    Meet people in person organically to date and pursue serious relationships instead. that way, when you do have sex, you know they'll accept and understad you.

    Why are hookups hellish for people with intellectual disabilities? And how is it impossible?
