Sex… this should be interesting.

I’ve been seeing a lot of posts this month on sex and how sexuality gets treated regarding the disabled.  I will make a more formal post about it real soon but I’d just like to put this out there first before I do so.  It is very common for society to see people with any kind of visible disability, physical or cognitive, as non-sexual.  Unless said person identifies as asexual, society is as wrong as it can get on this topic.  Even when it gets mentioned that we are sexual beings it is looked at in a most patronizing way.  Instead of griping about this though I thought I’d simply start a dialog in a more informative way.  As a cripple who’s had and still does have a very satisfying sex life I might be able to inform some peoples bias.  Perhaps a visible non fetishized example is a step in the right direction, or at least that is my hope.

Any and all questions will be answered to the best of my ability and privacy standards of the other people involved, so ask away.  Look for a post on this tomorrow to get this whole thing started.
