That's funny Houston this is the first I've heard of a-sexual in my 5 short years as a quad.
It does seem to me that a para would have a better sex life than a quad though after all they have a better "grip" than quads do lol!
Just a little light humor folks while discussing this sensitive issue.

Like when I was in Partners class a few yrs back. Was the 1st time that I’d heard A-sexual which I had to ask the meaning of it 2 be sure. Now my cousin that’s a Para which was pretty much 1 of few people with a disability that I was in contact with growing up at the time I was an AB. He always had girlfriends had 2 children by 2 different women than got married and had 2 kids with his wife. So I’d never thought about sexual issues with paralization until I got paralyzed than found out that I’d been way off by a-s-s-u-m-i-n-g I should’ve been more inquisitive and asked questions back then. I still need 2 do some more research into SCI’s and sex, especially since I’m asked more & more by new SCI’s I’m coming into contact with. I joke my way through it tell them what little I know & what I’ve heard from others. The relationship issue I tell them it’s pretty much the same as life and their injury different with each person.

Hey Stacy,
I've come to the conclusion that people just don't think we're even interested in a relationship.
Nobody thinks I'm interested in a sex life so no need for a relationship in their eyes.

It's statements like what Mark said that makes me realise just how lucky I am to have Steve, someone who knows I'm interested, but also knows of my fears and uncertainties and acts with those in minds.
