Hi,
I came to PD initially to read the stories, which are really good BTW I enjoy then a lot, and later I started lurking on the board because I liked the topics being discussed and most people seem interesting and some are really funny. I´m on the introvert side so I´m not into sharing about myself, but I feel like I know many of you and I guess it was time to introduce myself and not feel like a stalker.
My dev story goes like this…
In my early teens, I realized I was interested in disability. I would watch every movie or tv show with a disabled character and wanted to learn about it. When I had a crush on a boy, I would make him disabled in my fantasies, but that was all to it.
In my adulthood my devness fell to the background, I didn’t pay much attention to it. I still watched movies and tv shows with disabled characters, but I never dated or even considered dating a disabled person, not that I had many opportunities, I´m from a small city in Venezuela and you don’t see many PWD around and even less young ones.
It was about a year ago that I discovered I was a Devotee (I´m kind of a late bloomer, I´m 38 now). I was binge-watching Daredevil, and I was constantly aroused, I was like… WTF?
It was really weird, but Charlie Cox is really hot and Matt Murdock is blind, so I guess that makes a killer combo.
Like the curious human being that I am, I researched about it and, bingo! I learned what devoteeism was. I was a bit shocked initially, I consider myself a good person, and to find out that you are sexuaally attracted to something that brings pain to other people is disconcerting. But, coming here and finding out that I’m not the only one and that many disabled people don’t have a problem with it, is comforting in a way.
I just wanted to say hi and maybe make some friend and contribute some to the discussions here.

It seems Daredevil has been a catalyst for many devs...
