I work with women with disabilities sexually and have worked with younger women for there first ever contact and it's all about the patience you both have together and creating that bond to make it comfortable. It's rewarding to know that the women is happy and comfortable as well as providing them with a service which they were too scared to venture or too shy because of their disability, I think there's many services out there but it's just finding the right one and also the right person. People should never judge you for your disability it's how you was born the many women I've met are amazing and to this day I'm still friends with some. There's always hope out there just don't ever give up.

What do you mean you work with? Are you an escort?

I feel with my health issues that I would be a burden to a partner and I don’t even try to meet anyone. I’ve been single for most of my life by choice but as I get older it is lonely. How do people overcome feeling like a burden?

Hello...
I’ve been single 6 years and find dating very difficult.
no1 is interested as soon as they know
i have disabilities 
ive tried numerous dating sites. Ow and totally give up 

Im also scared of ever being intimate again with a man as it’s been a long time now and I now have painful disabilities to deal with.:(

I thinking disgusting that these so called free dating sites are not free and you have to subscribe to message. Plus you can't trust that the profiles are real as according to some well known documentary programmes on t v they make up profiles to scam people. So who can you trust? I will just foolishly wait for my knight in shining armour lol

There is a man in Norwich in the Gay pride website that's making Sex toys for disabled people, looks promising.

I am currently creating a campaign which fights for diverse representation and empowerment in sex for disabled people. If you are disabled, it would be great if you could take a minute or two to fill out this survey. It will really help my campaign, and don't worry - the results are anonymous!

For those who do not have a disability, it would also really help me if you could share this link, or send it to a friend who might fill it in.

We all want to meet someone! 

Unfortunately, there does not seem to be a site that is suitable for anyone with any kind of medical or disability  

pieeeter

Why couldn't scope start a dateing agency that would be great 

gaz1960

Unfortunately, scope is not a dating site! 

gaz1960

Had hoped that they would allow/start a dating part of the site,but can understand why they dont,security and safety to all members! That's paramount!

There is risk in all parts of life. When you want to reach out to someone there is always all kinds of risk. Those who would put details on any dating service would have to take that Personal Responsibility* that they are choosing to take that risk. There is a risk people not finding someone, feeling so lonely, not being able to take it any more, except I would always say that whenever there is life, there is hope.

On other parts of the Internet, I have chosen to put so much details of myself to so many people in so many places in the world. I haven't had any problems from that so far that I haven't been able to sort out.

What a pity that threads like this just get abandoned when there is a great need for them. I have been caring for my wife for 6 yrs now and without going into details, we cannot even share a bedroom let alone a bed. So , I find a huge lack of intimacy and touch  is really affecting me, Anyone else in a similar position?

pieeter

Yes am single I would really like to meet someone 

pieeter

I have a moderate learning dissabillty I would really like to meet a lady who is 49 years old and live in Brighton and Hove

Been on dating sites for 4 years,on and off,still not met anyone,not even been on a date yet. Got a few messages again this week, strange i only get messages near holiday times,and before lockdowns? And always  from Ladies half way across  the Country, so guessing not really interested, but looking for chat mates? And within a couple of messages, you can tell they are not actually interested in meeting!
