Braced I swear there was a thread you started about this exact thing several years ago. You're absolutely right, Emma, and I had some good success with it. Old habits die hard Sadly, both the devs I role played with kind of disappeared off the face of the earth or something, but I had so much fun with it, I was hoping to find some other devs who want to explore, have some fun, and maybe make a friend out of it

So I role-played with a couple of pretenders before I realized they were. 🤢🤢🤢 But they pretended to be a quad and a couple of para's.
I role-played with my ex (spina bifida/RHD).
The guy I most enjoyed is a C4/5 quad.
I never ran into any faux pas or other issues. I DID learn A LOT!! I definitely didn't think some of the stuff we "tried" could work IRL, but my ex was brave enough to give some of my scenarios a try, and HE learned some things, too. LOL
So, timeline: most of this was during my Great Quest in 2010-2011. I actually met my ex after all the other guys, but maintained a friendship with the one guy (still friends). So my ex was the recipient of years of dev research and about a year of trial and error in both dating and role-playing.

I think devs and PWDs bring out the confidence in each other, and I'm glad he was willing to be so adventurous. That's certainly along the lines of what I'm looking for.

Oh, and I might be willing to try it again in just a few million years...

Yeah Emma, it's definitely a possibility. But there are plenty of genuine gimps who'd be happy to try, I'd imagine.

Hey there, I'm totally into online role playing that involves an m2m relationship where one is very much disabled and the other is very much a dev. I'm open to all kinds of scenarios too...Hit me up

Does it matter if they're pretenders if you're only doing online role-play? Honestly I don't think I'd care.

Does it matter if they're pretenders if you're only doing online role-play? Honestly I don't think I'd care. It matters to me because I wanted the experience to be as authentic as possible. Perhaps if I hadn't already been poisoned against pretenders/fakers/wannabes/BIID by their behavior here and out in the wild, or hadn't been lied to and had my own dev vulnerability used against me - basically hadn't been made a fool of over and over again- maybe I wouldn't have cared. But I did have those experiences. So it mattered A LOT that the person I was role-playing with was genuine. Because I was still exploring my devness I was a little raw in areas. I didn't know what I know now about myself and what being a dev is to me. I WAS vulnerable. I needed a level of safety and trust that a situation as close to real as possible could offer. Since I have experienced role-play with both real and pretend PWD, for me the difference is profound.

The first time I did it, I'm not sure if he was s pretender or not, but I believed he was real at the beginning. I would not do it if I knew someone was a pretender. It would not seem real and for me it's not just physical, its emotional also. It has to be the real thing.

Im almost embarrassed to admit to not having tried online role play. The main issue for me is trust, im a bit cynical and would need to feel comfortable with a person first. As Tykes said, i think an emotional connection is important. But hey, what do i know....maybe i need to try it and find out ?

I think, if you find a PWD who moves slow, whom you get get to know, and you have some friendly banter with, over time, you may build a rapport with him, and progress to more...risque role play?
