  1. I am having difficulty having an intimate sexual relationship with my nondisabled partner. He has no interest in physical intimate touch. We watch videos and self stimulate separately.

    1. , that can be difficult to navigate. Is he open about why he feels the way he does? I wanted to share an article that I hope may be helpful: https://spinalmuscularatrophy.net/dating-intimacy . Would he be willing to seek counseling tgether, or even individually? - Warmly, Donna (Team Member)

  2. Dating for me at times feels like coordinating the storming of Normandy. After get past finding a date must deal with transportation issues, places to go and things can do with a disability, accessibility, and simply financial cost.
