Anne23855ParticipantI also use a wheelchair and am a woman. Both of my legs were amputated six years ago. My amputations are obviously the reason for me being in a chair, rather than for health reasons or paralysis. Men have been kind to me since I lost my legs and have even flirted with me, but they never ask me out on anything more than a buddy-type date. I am attractive and used to be considered sexy and dated often, though I was not in a relationship when I lost my legs. I look the same as before, and my personality is the same. The only difference is I now have no legs and use a wheelchair. Since then I have not had a man seriously consider me as a lover. My entire body functions; I am quite capabale of having sex and moving my body. I think being in a chair automatically causes people to think of me as handicapped more than as a woman. I used to hear myself referred to as a beautiful woman or as a babe, but now I hear ‘that handicapped/crippled/amputee woman in a wheelchair’. Once people have to look down to see your face at their stomach level, you become less to them. Maybe men think people will wonder why they are with a woman who is damaged. All that said, I do know of women and men who are happily married and found love after becoming disabled. So I know there is hope for us. Maybe having this body now weeds out the men we really wouldn’t want me, anyway. If we do find a lover, we will know they don’t mind that we have less than perfect bodies. Good luck – to us.

PhilippeMemberAnne, don’t worry, you are still sexy and feminine. My ex was an amputee, and I’ve always been attracted to such women. I know I will make my life with one. It is just a nature thing; few men are ‘made’ for you like others are made for tall, short, black or white partners. Just don’t be ashamed of your difference. You can’t be attractive for everyone for sure, but the ones who find you attractive are much more attracted than in another kind of relationship.
