Well, my boyfriends brother 's girlfriend is in a wheelchair. They been going together for 15 years. I guess there must be some kind of attraction, cause they do it all the time, so they say.

Well I believe if someone is attracted to disabled people more than others, instead of being attracted to whoever has a great personality including abled and disabled people, they probably like how disabled people have vulnerabilities and in many cases they need more help from others around them. Some people like people who are more dependent on them, it makes them feel needed, giving them in a way a sense of control and responsibility for the other person. It just works for some people I suppose. Happy mylotting and have a great day or night.

I'm not really sure, but I had a friend I went to school with who liked this disabled boy... I thought it was really sweet because she saw him as a normal person and he liked her too, so I don't see anything wrong with it. I think people just look pass the disable to see the actual person.

I think this one is primarily psycological. More than likely, these individuals suffer from a "savior" or "hero" complex to one degree or another. They want to take care of somebody. They want to be needed...and this desire to be needed is translated into the people they are attracted to sexually. Perhaps it even goes further. Perhaps some of these people feel "disabled" in a more invisable sense (emotionally, spiritually, intellectually). It's possible they don't feel capable of meeting the relational needs of someone who doesn't suffer from a disability. Or, wheel chairs could just be a turn on.
