The most extensive collection of sex and disability resources available, including hundreds of books, websites, and organizations…. Can you use a condom with a catheter? How do you have intercourse in a wheelchair? This detailed guide answers questions that the nondisabled cannot imagine.
The overall message: there is no right way to have sex. Individuals need to discover what sex is for them and give themselves permission to consider anything as a sexual experience.
