Ouch weblog: individual blog entry

28 Jul 07, 12:49 AM - Crips Talkin' About Sex

Posted by Zephyr

Warning: Post May Contain Shameless Self-Plugging

Looking for something to read today? Look no further. Head on over to and check out the 19th Disability Blog Carnival: The Sex Edition.. Our bloggers share their experiences with sex in a variety of topics including: sex education, sex drive, sexual opportunity or lack thereof, having sex with a disability, devotees, sexual attractiveness...and some other NSFW, May Contain Adult Content subjects. Here's a couple of teaser excerpts to whet your appetite. I'll see you over at AYT!

From from :

We are less likely to marry and more likely to divorce than our able-bodied counterparts. This shouldn’t overshadow the fact that since ADA, there are more of us able to attend college, roll in bars or clubs, and even get in touch with significant others through the phone with relay services. We have the chance to meet more people, be seen, and establish ourselves as sexual beings ready to give and receive love. The width of doorways and the number of parking spaces might not seem especially sexy, but compliance with the standards of ADA can make the difference of whether those of us with physical disabilities can even venture into the same social venues to meet potential partners or enjoy romantic time with a date or spouse.

Read from 's blog:

My first inclination that all was not well was when I explained that I had been prescribed a wheelchair. My mother's response was to ask whether Wizard still wanted to have sex with me. Even as I write this today, I am blown away. Err. What? Logic? What? Excuse me? We'd already been making accommodations. No. We had already been inventing new and creative practices to get around my RSI. A wheelchair didn't seem to be much more of an obstacle -- but it was.

Stop by for more of the above. The Carnival also has entries on relationships, marriage, and disability activism. Enjoy!
