MS Essentials
Although sexual difficulties are common among the population as a whole, multiple sclerosis (MS) can bring about particular problems for both men and women whatever gender. Not everyone with MS will experience sexual problems and, as with other MS symptoms, it is impossible to predict who will be affected and how long symptoms may last.
One of the reasons for sexual difficulties being more...

100lbsailor:
I’ve just finished a phone call from overseas. Actually, it got cut off and I wasn’t able to call them back for some reason.
Before the conversation got cut short, my mother was warning me not to get pregnant now that Mr. and I are living together. (Recap: Mr. uses crutches and has had anatomical…

Yeeeeepp. These people exist.
I well remember the first time I discovered I wasn’t the only one feeling this way. I had a long discussion that evening with Sue, who told me about her desire to be paralysed. From there, I started looking around the ‘net for more information about wheelchairs, wannabes (this is...

Okay, so I am going to apologize in advance, because in this post, I am not holding back. I don’t exactly know who reads this blog (uh, hi mom?) so I’m sorry if it is TMI, or you find it offensive. The point of this blog is to share stories, pain, and gripes and to help…

Trigger Warning: ableism, abuse, rape culture.
I wrote this article because a recent episode of Glee included terrible messages about how people with mental health conditions exist within their relationships, especially romantic relationships. This is a topic that’s really close to my persynal experience, so I felt I needed to write about it to prevent my...
Disabled World: The G-Spot Location →
thesexuneducated:
The article uses cis heteronormative language but does provide good information on the g-spot. I would just like to clarify that vagina’s are not exclusive to “women” nor is the only other option for vaginal penetration a penis. Does any one else have a good link on g-spot information that is more inclusive?

How to Write about Cripples
Be sure to include words such as ‘inspiring’, ‘courageous’, or ‘tragic’ throughout the passage. When lacking a sufficient adjective to describe the individual, simply deposit any one of these words or equivalent synonyms. In your text, be sure to treat cripples at large as a homogeneous group, and make references and comparisons to media-popularized cripples...

'Overcoming' Is Not a Moral Obligation →

flutterflyinvasion:
Society demands that we keep overcoming, overcoming, overcoming. But we don’t have to. Nowhere is it written that to be a really real human you have to brute force your way through your limits. Nowhere is it written that not doing so makes you less worthy. For most people, constantly refusing to acknowledge that you have limits is seen as a problem. We...
Reblog If You Support Misa on Wheels!!!
epic-fantasy:
“My biggest tips for cosplay are to choose a character you love and to never let anything stand in your way. If anyone has a problem with you cosplaying because of skin color, weight, or disability, then they are the only one with a problem. If you are having fun and loving what you do, never let anyone get you down. You are perfect the way you are!”

Really?
buildyourlifeforyou:
Today my mom showed a family friend my senior pictures.
Apparently she cried at one of the one’s that I was out of my chair for.
According to my mom, because “well, she knows how crippled you are”.
Really? That doesn’t even make sense. Anyone who cares about me doesn’t cry over the fact that I’m disabled, because that doesn’t define me. I thought you knew me better.
It’s...

Good Mourning’s anthology of romantic stories with disabled characters is accepting work for five more days so PLEASE try to get something in. Even if it isn’t perfect you will be able to clean it up with the editor even after the deadline…and don’t forget this is a PAYING gig.

The last time cripples on public transport came up (the part about a bus, and those damn slow wheelchair people!) my friend had an excellent suggestion of what these people should do if they are bothered by cripples on public transport.
You have legs that work. Walk.
Too far? Well the argument I always hear from healthy people when I can’t do something is “x person with your...
The Outsiders: Sex Hotline- Er...Helpline.
Talking to professionals
Sexual pleasure and desire are subjects that health professionals rarely raise. Research suggests that most doctors think that the patient will bring up the subject of sex if they have any concerns. There is help available, and if your doctor doesn’t mention it, you should ask. If you find it difficult, give this leaflet to your specialist or doctor. Good luck.

Girl in a wheelchair: Why are you in a wheelchair? →
girl-in-a-wheelchair:
Do any other wheelchair drivers hear this a lot?
It always amazes me how people, usually those without any impairments at all, feel entitled to ask this and pry into your life. Does anyone else find that the answer “I can’t walk” (or “I can’t walk far” or “I can’t walk without pain”) is deemed to be insufficient by the nosy person?
Why does anyone feel they have the right...
Anonymous asked: The commentary isn't what's fucking ignorant, did you miss the part where it would cost $15,000 more per taxi just to implement this "accessible" feature? We don't need to specially cater everything for a select group of people at the expense of the rest of the population.

This is helpful on so many levels. So many people just kinda stare at me like I’ve lost my mind when it comes to certain things, and understanding makes all the difference.
