I'm kind of torn on this one. If the mental retardation was severe enough to create a personality that you would not really click with and pursue a meaningful much less sexual relationship in someone else, I don't think I'd be able to have any type of sexual relationship with the person. I've spent a bit of time around disabled people in my line of work, and the mind set is really one of a child, or adolescent the majority of the time. I take that to mean they really don't have enough awareness of what is going on to give full consent, and I would feel wrong in pressuring anything from them.
