Do health conditions make you Uncomfortable?

[xX****]

Yeah I've been told as soon as I tell people I have cerebral palsy they instantly assume im wheelchair bound and want nothing to do with me

[Deleted Member]

Epilepsy, no. But things like being paralyzed or bad mental health conditions would be deal breakers for me.

I suffer with seizures yet that's never a problem for my past relationships

[Ft****]

I have multiple disabilities physical and mental and while I haven't been with anyone yet so idk how they'd effect sex, people always get freaked out when in mention disabilities but like I've had them 25 years I have stuff in place and can teach them to anyone but like I can get why someone would freak out both my mum and I had exs who weaponised disabilities but abled people do that too so like that's life dump them and move on.

I get how scary it is when someone you care about has an episode of emergency too but everyone should learn first aid especially in kink anyone can have a stroke at any time especially if you're doing breath play so it's important to be prepared, I've passed the nhs free first aid courses for adults and *** and used it to save a friend before.

Not really. I know how to handle epilepsy. So you could be fine and safe

[Vo****]

It would make me uncomfortable if they didn't tell me beforehand. It can a safety issue depending on a scene but as long as it's disclosed beforehand then it's not an issue. I just need to know so I can take steps to minimize any possible risks

The sentence 'in sickness and in health' means absolutely nothing to some people. Some people commented in various other scenarios but your specific responses you were given were "it creeped them out" or "made them feel uncomfortable". This (specifically) is a response driven by socio-normative presumption of what a partner should be, in combination of a *** of responsibility and a lack of character. Keep in mind, this happens to people in vanilla relationships and especially to those who develop a disability during a relationship, you aren't alone in this problem, sadly.
I wouldn't let it bother you so much. You have a litmus test built into you; keep using it to weed out those would be uncomfortable right away (whatever their reason might be), better to find out now rather than years later.

I think some people are just significantly unprepared to handle medical issues.

Being “creeped” out is just rude.

I’ve had women who couldn’t kneel for long periods of time because of bad knees. We figured it out down to a time limit and use of foam kneel pads. If you both want something you can figure out a way to make it work. I am fully night blind so I would need to be driven at night. That does limit my dating range but you have to play the hand you’re dealt.

[kinkymasterandrew]

Yes, legal blindness is my condition; I understand the hesitancy, but it's depressing. I just mention it in my profile to filter out the people who aren't ok with it. Not much else to be done with honesty, dishonesty would just make more trouble.

[ca****]

Im epileptic I have juvinaial myclonic epilepsy and ive had the same issue several times keep your head up tho I found some one im sure you will too

[ru****]

It honestly blows my mind that anyone would walk away from someone over a health condition. Unless we’re talking about something communicable that affects safety, I’m all in on working through it together. My last long-term partner had a mild case of cerebral palsy — as long as the communication was solid we had no issues

Not everyone has enough spoons to handle a medical condition

[ja****]

I dont understand the problem. It's not something to walk away from though

Where do you get lost?

[TheBookCollector]

As a type 2 diabetic, i check my *** sugar before a scene and ensure they are at a sufficient level before playing and have glucose tablets close at hand, as i dont want to have a hypo mid scene where and put my partner at risk.
.
It depends on the health condition and what that person is into, for example i would have serious reservations regarding rope scenes with epileptics.
.
The reason being if they had a seizure when tied or suspended they are likely to do a lot of damage to theirself as the ropes will constrict thier movements.
.
Where as an impact scene has few ler risks to the individual.
.
Heart conditions are another area to be wary of for top and bottom. The last thing you want is a top keeling over with a heart attack and being heavily restrained where the bottom cant get out and assist or call emergancy assist.

I have epilepsy too, it’s not been a problem for people, they usually just ask what they should do if I have a seizure, hasn’t put anyone off, sorry you’ve had that experience.
