Sixth year and still active.

Next january the group intimacy for the disabled will
be going into its 6th year,and were still as strong
as when we started on 1/1/03.Like most group on yahoo
they fad away or taken over with spam and porn sites..

This group is about support and understand of being
disabled either from birth or later in life..Yes its
hard to find someone for a relationship that
include romance and intimacy..But intimacy is not
always just about sex..Maybe because you have no
feeling below the waist you think your life is over
as far as relationship..There are so many other ways
to please your partner..remember your brain is your
biggest organ..

We deal with the positive aspect in our life and
not dwell on things we can't do or feel sorry for
ourselves..Nobody want to be with a person thats
all the time negitive and using the pity party for
there ways...Yes we all get down on life and thats
natural,but 24/7 is not natural...This goes as
well for the able body person...its not just us
that have physical disability and differences..

There very few rules..All I ask is members to have
some information on there profile and no flaming
or calling people names on the group..with over 1,700
members we don't always agree with each other and that
is alright,but as long as its not a personal attack
on someone thats on the group..

I myself was born with spina bifida,in my early
years I had low self esteem,,mainly because of
my older siblings that never gave me support,thing
are not really any better,but I have overcome there
negitive feeling towards me.Life goes on and no
matter what life has given you,,,you need to try
your best to make the best of it...

Life is easier if you have your self respect for
yourself..this itself will help in finding friendship
romance and even intimacy in the physical ways..

here is the addy to the group..
