Question:
Full Disclosure
A woman I recently started dating has expressed an interest in being sexual with me. I have had very few sexual encounters
since my disability and don't know how to tell her about my disability, let alone what to expect during sex.

Full Disclosure
Sit down with this woman--in an unhurried, relaxed atmosphere with no interruptions--and discuss your mutual attraction as
well as what you consider important for her to know about your sexual functioning. If you're a little uncertain and still learning
about yourself, let her know that as well. If she's as interested as it seems, the dialogue will continue.
Encourage her to ask questions and always be honest. If you don't know the answers, contact someone who does. Keep your
sense of humor and adventure as you venture further--sexual encounters after disability can be very fulfilling and pleasurable
even if they differ in ways from your past experience. If you stay open, you'll learn more about yourself, your partner and the
relationship itself.
