I read about devs and this common misconception just before I joined PD. However, it wasn't sex that brought me here, it was the desire to be accepted for who I am, and that is exactly what I got when I came through the door. I've been hiding the details of what it means to be born with Spina Bifida all my life because it made the women I dated very uncomfortable. However, all the devs are probably well aware of the details, and they don't seem to be uncomfortable around me at all. That's a feeling I can't really describe to you. I share the feeling of being happy about being accepted for who you are - you don't get that too often. Still, I don't think it "wrong" if someone other comes here looking for sex - what you want is part of who you are, too, I think, and to want sex is ok. It's just that some ways of achieving one's goals seem ... more fruitful for me than others. His was not. ;-)
"However, all the devs are probably well aware of the details" - welllll, with me, that is a misconception, I know nothing whatsoever about Spina Bifida. But that does not make me feel uncomfortable. You're able to communicate, I'm able to communicate, so if I need to learn something, you'll tell me. I like to learn and I'm notoriously curious. And I simply like people. By the way ... how does one play Monopoly with players on different parts of the world? (Maybe offtopic here, but we should definitely think about that hard and fast and find a solution and start playing!)

I thunk we all desire to be accepted for who we are. I can only try to imagine what it must be like to be marginalised because of a disability. From my perspective your spine bifida & the details of it are irrelevant other than as a life experience it has contributed to make you the person you are. I’ve enjoyed meeting you & look forward to learning more about you.
