Disability & sexuality

About this book

Ashley Hartman presents an introductory guide to sexuality that centers disabled people. She begins by advocating that sex educators inform themselves about disability and follows with an overview of concepts and terms used in academic and activist communities regarding disability sexuality. Hartman includes writing from other contributors such as the poem “Self" by Adina K Burke and “How to talk to a new lover about cerebral palsy” by Eli Clare. The next section differentiates “sex life” and “sexual culture,” presenting sexual culture as an alternative, more inclusive way at looking at sexuality. There is a section on tips using sex toys. The zine is concluded with an Audre Lorde quote and further resources. Additional elements include creative diagrams and interactive activities. -- Nayla Delgado
