Page 35 of this online booklet rightly notes that sex is not what it looks like in porn or movies. Presentations of sex and sexuality need to be overhauled to include perspectives from different communities. Point of View’s seventh edition ebook Pyaar Plus: Talking Out Loud On — Sexuality and Disability is one effort to dismantle myths around sex and disability.
Let’s talk about sex
Sex is a natural part of human experience that has been made exclusive. The narrative of what it is supposed to be and who is allowed access to it is controlled by various factors. By sharing inclusive and varied experiences by people living with disabilities, this edition addresses ableist and normative narratives dominant in the film industry, the market for sex-health products and toys, sex education, and even personal beliefs.
