    Ditto. I couldn't be with someone who couldnt have sex with me and I know there are non sexual ways of being intimate but I have my needs.

    Pure hate speech against those unfortunates with bollixed hydraulics or a deficiency in the pork-sword department. For shame!

    You’re so kind.

    I don’t know what you expect from me here. Would you prefer it if I would be open to a relationship with some like I’ve mentioned above?

    I don’t see how it would do either of us any good.

    The tide is turning…

    One of the most upbeat human beings you could find.

    His short film, The Butterfly Circus is well worth a watch!

    It’s pretty ignorant to say that you wouldn’t go out with someone who had a mental disability. Mental disabilities don’t define people. There are good people with mental disabilities, just so you know.

    No it isn’t. And I never said that they defined anyone.

    With a vast number of mental disabilities there would be an issue of consent and I already expressed my belief of incompatibility with those who would have less severe ones.

    It really is though. It’s a blanket statement and a massive generalization.

    Look, you can get into relationships with someone who’s got a mental disability. That’s fine. Well, as long as they can consent. But I don’t have to.
