Time to Build Trust



Paraplegic sex and wheelchair dating are more common than you might think. In fact, while it's true that the age of people experiencing a spinal cord injury each year has risen from 29 years to 43 years, the numbers of people with a spinal cord injury is at about 288,000, according to the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center.

Building Wheelchair Dating Trust In An Uncertain World


About 17,700 new spinal cord injury cases are reported each year. Some of those injuries are birth related, others are due to injuries or illnesses. As an adult, the important occurrence is not how a man or a woman entered the world of sex and disability but, instead, how to successfully manage wheelchair dating. Communication, playfulness and trust are integral to rewarding wheelchair dating as well as sex and disability among married couples.

Getting to the core of trust could take years. Honesty, asking uncomfortable questions, focusing on positives and avoiding repressing emotions and thoughts are actions that strengthen trust among couples dealing with sex and disability. It's no different than it is or couples who aren't engaging in paraplegic sex.

It takes genuine concern. It takes commitment. Another form of trust that is integral to sex and disability is sex aid trust. This includes trust that a sex aid is safe, can hold your weight and that a sex chair, liberator wedge or back support strap is durable. Good ways to deal with this include checking to see that a product is patented. Another way is to see if a sex aid is endorsed or used by the Veteran's Administration, similar to how IntimateRider products are carried by the Veteran's Administration.

Sex Aid Trial Builds Wheelchair Dating Trust


Guarantees and product trial periods also help build trust. For example, IntimateRider  paraplegic sex products come with a 30 day trial period. IntimateRider Romance Set, IntimateRider Seat Cushion and the IntimateRider Liberator Adventure Set can be returned within 30 days of receiving the sex aids. The manufacturer offers this 30 day trial period because they trust the products that have been used by wheelchair dating and married couples living with sex and disability for years. The fact that you would only use a sex aid that protects you and your partner sends a strong message that you value your partner and yourself. When you value yourself, you treat yourself with respect.

You also don't let yourself or anyone else speak to you in ways that make you feel small. Because you respect yourself, you're probably attracted to people who too are familiar with self-respect, people who actively practice self-care. That could work in your partner and your favor as you continue to build trust in your relationship. This pursuit of trust could help you pick the right relationships to explore as you advance your wheelchair dating. It starts with small steps. Actions as small as only adding safe sex aids to your intimate life.
