What are some challenges or considerations you face when exploring intimacy as someone with a disability?

Lord Andrew Bruce, of House McInnes

As a single guy (who is a virgin) who has more of a medical condition rather than a physical disability, I would say #3 is more of an issue for me as I am now in my early 40s and yet to still find someone. So I am yet to know the pleasures of intimacy with another person. Because my health situation has prevented me from achieving (and enjoying) many of the things that most people take for granted, I feel many ladies over the years have not wanted to be with me, let alone go on a date with me. "oh, I just like you as a friend. I'm not into you romantically." they would all say. Oh well.
