Sex with disabled people

Sex education is widely believed to be a key part of secondary education, and a vital part of establishing a healthy sexual identity. But while sex education generally is an area about which many people feel insecure and uncertain, those with disabilities are in an even more difficult situation. Not only are they often not given sex education appropriate to their needs, in many cases - especially outside mainstream education - they may not be taught about it at all because parents and teachers often shy away from explaining the facts effectively. The idea of sex education for disabled people was (or still is) simply not an issue, because no one believe they needed it.

You are so right in your comments. Social Workers, Teachers and the like (including the disabled themselves need to be Less Politically Correct and NOT SO SHY!

i agree with both messages why should disabled people not have a sex life ? they are as human as anyone else with the same sex urges . i am not disabled but my partner is she has a good sex drive despite her ilnesses .
