Handicapped Or Disabled Nudists
This group is being created for those of us that have a handicap or disability. It will hopefully help educate those that look upon us as being different to the point of rejection. The group is open to anyone that feels they fit outside the "norm" rather as a nudist/naturist or just in society.

Paralysis
Return to DiscussionsIn 2013 I had an accident while working as a nude model leaving me with a spinal injury at the base of my neck, paralysis below there, severe muscle contractions and spasms and double incontinence. Before that, as well as being an artists' model, I lived near a nudist beach for 5 years, spent a lot of time nude around the house, nude swimming, nude yoga .....
My nude activities now are very restricted, but in a way, having been a nudist helps me cope with situations which might otherwise be embarrassing: being washed and massaged by my carers for example. All my carers are women. Every morning they wash me naked and massage anti-bacterial cream on the places inside my incontinence pad most likely to get rashes. On alternate days, nurses give m a bowel evacuation.
I wonder whether other readers feel that having been a nudist helps in medical or care situations?
I lost the ability to stand. I also have caregivers who bathe me and do medical stuff. My back is fused.
I can make it from bed to wheelchair and back, and to the toilet and shower.
I live nude, or at least bottomless.
Luckily my caregivers have gotten used to the idea.
When I go out to see the doctor I wear a kilt.
I lived in Europe and was in the military so being bare doesn't bother me and I find the lifestyle healthy. It also releaves one of the hassle of getting dressed.
