Description
We all have sexual needs, sexual hunger, and desires. It is part of our human experience. However, people with disabilities have been, and sadly continue to be, marginalized, segregated and forced into asexuality simply because of our differences. The fear driven approach to the disabled body has kept people with disabilities isolated and excluded from the common circles of sexual discussion and opportunity for honest and positive representation of the disabled body as a natural sexual being. This ninety minute interactive workshop addresses and undresses crip sexuality with honesty and raw awareness of our disabled bodies as being worthy of pleasure and physical love.
