Everyone is basically saying "yes" to this OP so I thought I'd throw out a different response. It entirely depends on finding a good match for you. A physical disability is only one of many, many criteria that each and every one of us uses when we meet potential partners, try them out, and then decide whether or not to make a commitment. If someone doesn't chose you it may have absolutely nothing to do the wheelchair or everything to do with the wheelchair or a small amount to do with the wheelchair -- it entirely depends on that person and you and how much you have in common and overlap in what you define as dominance and submission. In all reality, and I'm not trying to be mean here just trying to be realistic and give you honest feedback, having any kind of physical or emotional issue will make it more difficult for you to find a dom or sub. Most people could not handle the problems surviving my past created in me; most people couldn't handle Fox's -- we got lucky and got each other. I don't begrudge someone who says "I can never be with someone with X condition" because just like age, race, hair color, religion, etc it's all a matter of preference and finding an excellent match. Don't you want to be with someone who is an excellent match for you? I know I do so if I had to go through a few dozen to find a good slave he was well worth it. If you have to try and try and try to find your match it will be well worth it though while you are going through that looking and trying it will feel very frustrating. So, in general I'd say go with all the good advice anyone gets when they are looking for a partner but be aware that your wheelchair may require some extra care on your part in terms of finding munches or groups. To share a personal story, one of the last munches I went to in the local community here was moved to a "bar" and I had issues with that decision myself but I wasn't on the steering committee so I went. Yeah, it limited the age of people and the smoking was a pain in the ass and then a new couple came whose female member was in a wheelchair. I felt like trash because damn this place was just bad all around for a munch. Guess how many others in that group seemed to care? I live with the only two who did and that might explain partly why we stopped attending local events. So, submissionwheels, it will not be easy but it is possible. Good luck.
