So I’m just wondering how those with disabilities are accepted within the swinging community. Looking at all different types not just physical. But also learning disabilities including autism. Mental health conditions including things like schizophrenia, bi polar and personality disorders. Those who are visually impaired. Deaf. Acquired brain injury’s. There will be ones I’ve missed so apologies for that. But I’d love to know how well people would be accepted. Would you rule certain disabilities out whilst accepting others?

Depends on the severity of the mind disability for me as I would automatically see them in a carer way not in a sexual way, even people with severe learning difficulties are sexual human beings that crave pleasure. I just wouldn't be comfortable with it at all.

Physically I have no preferences at all

Good point about being the carer. And I suspect many times around mental disorders it will come down to levels of functionality. I just wondered how they’d be viewed and judged

That will be an interesting result to read on here.

I suppose it is whether a person is able to see past the disability and form a sexual connection in whichever form it presents itself in.

When I was at uni last year one of my lectures had schizophrenia but they were highly intelligent and engaging and managed there voices well and unless they told you. You’d never know but then I feel if they come in to swinging why should they hide there disability and would people accept it.

I have met people with some of the disabilities you have listed OP so I would say yes in answer to your question.

They shouldn't have to hide it at all, it is whether they regard that the disability defines them or is just part of them.

I have friends with mental difficulties and each of them deal with it in different ways, I guess it is how open we want to be to them regarding acceptance.

Thank you Alan. It’s early days on the thread but I’m interested to see what the sort of split will be and if theirs something more accepted than others. Can I ask was the meets you’ve had with people who had physical disabilities, learning disabilities or something else?

I guess if they accept its them and they comfortable with it. Why should we find it an issue as long as the other things you discussed before are managed. But I know others may not fully agree with that point

A woman: they're in.

Single man: f*** off.

Could say swinging is very non discriminatory on that one.

So you think that males with disabilities are less likely to be accepted in swinging community than females with disabilities?

Yes. It's supply and demand I am afraid.

This is a casual sex site. People are looking for fun sexual encounters and they will tend to see - rightly or wrongly - people with disabilities as being harder work that people without.

Given that there's about 15 men for every woman on here, a man who is perceived to be harder work is less likely to be chosen to meet than someone who isn't. However the other way round doesn't apply, given the relative paucity of women.

So, if you are a single bloke with a disability, sad though it may well be, your chances will be less. So the cynical advice would be to hide your disability if possible.

I'm saying not no different from non disabled. Men: f*** off regardless.

Hence you could say that the swinging community is non discriminatory. It's just men f*** off without taking anything else into account.

Thank you for your frank and honest response. It is sad as you acknowledged.

The leydig trust are active in this aspect of the disabled. I went to a couple of events, where disabled folk were given time in the club to witness the goings on. I think some decent girls allowed some kind of petting type play. But nothing full on.

Interesting and obviously a taboo subject for some. Is this more common on the continent?

Crikey I'm way out of date. The trust dissolved a long time ago. Tuppy Owen's ran it, so she may have other info.
