Love, sex and cotton buds (replay)

How one girl learnt about the birds and the bees at a boarding school for disabled kids

Warning: this programme contains discussion of a sexual nature.

Disabled writer and performer Penny Pepper join the team this week. (see Related Links for a transcript)

This is a replay of a fascinating interview from early 2016. Pepper talks openly about how she found out about the joys of sex thanks to friends at a hospital boarding school she was at in the 1970s.

Though the interview is full of humour and tips, Pepper has some serious messages for disabled people about intimacy with those you can trust. There's also a surprising revelation about cotton buds that we'll gloss over now but you can hear in full on the podcast. We're going red just thinking about it.
