    About Cole & Charisma:
    Welcome to the official Roll with Cole & Charisma CZcams channel! Since the start of our relationship we've gotten a lot of questions about our experiences as not only an interracial couple, but an interabled one as well. On this channel you can catch us doing travel and adventure vlogs, challenges, our inclusion series, couple first times, music, and so much more! We started this vlog to bring people into our lives, to answer some questions about how we navigate the world, and hopefully raise awareness surrounding accessibility and dating in a wheelchair. You'll quickly see in our episodes that we're all about inclusion and keeping a great attitude no matter your circumstances, so if that's what you're into, you're in the right place!

      Yeah it fills me with pride and appreciation to know that people have made products and resources to give the disabled community the ability to be intimate with their partner in the most intimate of ways because everyone has that right and should be able to. It's important to a relationship and needs to be accessible to all.

      Así es, siempre hablé de sexualidad con mi hija con respeto, y a pesar de que ahora soy célibe respeto a quienes hablan sobre sexualidad de forma adulta y respetuosa. Y me alegra que por fin se nos vea a quienes decidimos no tener sexo cómo personas NORMALES si quieres tener relaciones todo bien y sino, no pasa nada 🤷🏽‍♀️👍

    Some non-disabled men don’t realize that sexy can have little to do with the actual act. It is how they treat a woman all day. You two clearly have true intimacy. That is the key that non-disabled men don’t always find because their focus is on prowess and self-satisfaction. You are way ahead of them.

I look at me I'm going what in the hell did she seeing me period and she just off the cuff said something one day as I was talking about my wrinkles she says your heart makes everything outside of you so beautiful and so fun. I mean to hear words like this that you read sometime but actually hear them call me it literally changes your whole life your confidence what you think about yourself and you can do this to other people that are just friends I mean it was such a beautiful thing I'm getting kind of wishy-washy but it was such a beautiful thing to hear.

    To me intimacy means being completely vulnerable and comfortable with someone. It's about being your true self with that person and vice versa. Anything physical just falls into place after that in whichever way it works for a couple. But physical doesn't equal intimate at all in my eyes. So with that being said, they have a truly intimate relationship.

    No need to be sad that you were not able to be intimate in college Cole,. It probably saved you from a lot of unseen problems. It helped to keep you pure and decent, although it was hard. It’s easy to give in to pleasures but it takes a strong man to do without until the time is right. Bravo 🎉

    I am 52 years old, and I have just been recently diagnosed with fibromyagia after being misdiagnosed for 6 years with arthritis. Being overweight and having chronic pain, makes dating very difficult. On top of that, I have a mental illness and in recovery for alcohol addiction. In the last few years, my confidence has been obligated to the point, I am just existing. I just don't know how to change the situation I am in, so I don't do anything. But, this chanel has helped a bit in giving me ideas on how to get out of my comfortable zone. Thanks Cole and Charisma.

    • @ElizabethEllisCoach
      @ElizabethEllisCoach Před 2 měsíci

      I just stumbled on this channel and am loving the conversation with Cole & Charisma. I have both (fibro & arthritis) Susan, totally hear you. I see that no matter how together someone “seems” to the world, everyone behind the curtain, struggles with their own positive self belief. I also think that people are really struggling more than ever with loss, isolation, fear, pain, and finding real connection with others, and a positive sense of self identity no matter what. Your message really got my attention, and I just wanted to acknowledge you for being so authentic in your sharing. I think this is how real confidence is created. I think the way “out” of the uncomfortable comfort zone you are describing is one action at a time, connecting, sharing, contributing. Sending good energy your way, blessings.

    This was a wonderful talk.
    Hearing Cole talk in the beginning about loss of identity really resonated with me in a very deep way. I am not physically disabled, but I have such severe depression and anxiety, that I have truly lost myself and have been lost for a number of years (still lost as I write this). I lost my job and home; I'm in severe debt, I have no friends etc and my entire personality and identity is just... gone. I don't recognise myself AT ALL and I don't know how to deal with that.
    When I heard Cole speak about that, it was genuinely the first time hearing someone talk so well about loss of identity and how difficult it is to live and be confident when you don't recognise yourself and have no idea who you are.
    This was extremely helpful to me! I'm saving this video to watch again. Thank you so much Cole and Charisma!! ❤❤❤ God bless you for the wonderful work you're doing by sharing your stories. ❤

    Having chronic illness/chronic pain can make all types of intimacy difficult with my spouse at times, and I haven't been able to find good resources or advice. I wish I knew more interabled couples to discuss these issues with because sometimes there are body issues that come up that "able bodies" couples don't necessarily deal with or encounter. Thank you for this and I'm looking forward to watching your other videos on this topic.

    Just found you and am so grateful for your willingness to be vulnerable and open about helping other people learn. It’s a beautiful thing. I particularly love the message that we all eventually need to deal with our own insecurities and being confident in the bodies we have to work with is a choice! How terrific is that !!! Bottom line too, sex and intimacy is often uncomfortable and trial and error for EVERYONE. Being able to laugh and recognize the humor in the situation is so important. We aren’t soap opera characters - and intimacy doesn’t look like a perfectly choreographed dance. It’s bumps and turns and giggling and learning to love yourself which is the true road to accepting and recognizing love from another person.

    Thank you for taking about this. I am disabled due to chronic pain and while I don’t have an SCI, I do have physical limitations in life and in intimacy. Having a partner who is willing to talk about it and willing to stop and readjust is so important. If your partner isn’t willing to listen and work with you to find what works, maybe you need a some outside help or a different partner. Communication is key!

      ​@@okundola9388it's absolutely their fault. They are caregivers and physicians, they have a duty to learn and give the best care possible to their patients. They are paid to do so. The problem is they get comfortable making thousands with little to no service. Doctors and teachers are the only professionals in the World that get passes for not staying up to date with their professions and are excused for failing at their jobs.

    There is definitely a learning curve with any intimate relationship. And especially when you want to know what that person likes or is comfortable with, etc. My advice with what may be an awkward conversations to just go for it! Communication is key and the conversation can be uncomfortable if you allow it to be. But just ask and be open.

    Wow that was awesome. Despite not being "professionals" you have all of this experience and experience is valuable. I think people sometimes forget that not so long ago higher education wasn't as valued as it is now and experience was more highly regarded and so you Cole and Charisma are an amazing resource for people in the disabled community. I personally don't have any disabled friends, but obviously would be open and willing to be friends with someone that was. This channel and even Shane and Hannah's in conjunction with professionals would be my advice to them to help them navigate some of those difficulties they may be experiencing and lifting their spirits along with my own personal help or encouragement to them. I am just so much more aware of in my daily life about looking out for my disabled community members and will fight for their right to accessibility to have a fulfilling life as I can enjoy 😊

    This is a great conversation. Thank you all for sharing. I am disabled with a few chronic illnesses and being single gets sad sometimes. It’s hard to find people who are willing to accommodate and understand and listen it makes dating terrifying and disheartening at the same time. Confidence and compassion and communication are key. Sometimes being disabled can seem like a burden. I’m glad you two found each other. Also I’m loving the hair charisma it’s super cute. You both are cute and seem so in tune with one another. It’s beautiful to see. ❤
