“Sexuality and Disability”

Learning about sexuality and disability it was interesting to learn about how many myths there are about people with disabilities. People should be able to express themselves One of the sources we examined in class the website “sexuality and disability” was enlightening to learn of how its a website to help young woman with disabilities learn about and ask questions about or involving in their sexuallity. Learning that people with disabilities were never taught about sex education I am really happy that something like this exists. Exploring the platform learning about this is extremely important to stop myths from forming and happening constantly in society. Not only is it harmful for people but completely ignorant. As we progress more as people and as a society I hope we all are more educated in the topic and continue to myths from forming.

One thought on ““Sexuality and Disability”

  1. Sexuality and disability is a topic that is often overlooked. Due to the stigma surrounding sexuality and disability, many individuals are hesitant to open up about their personal struggles and there are not many resources for them. However, these conversations are extremely important. With disability representing such a wide spectrum of lived experiences, it is important to understand sexuality as it relates to disability. As it relates to disability, sexuality can often be seen as a taboo topic and many disabled people feel uncomfortable talking about it. This may be because of cultural stigma, feeling ashamed or embarrassed, or limited access to resources related to sexuality and disability. All of these experiences are valid and should be addressed with empathy and understanding.
