Laurie Toby Edison of Body Impolitic brings word of a 15 minute student film about a very much overlooked but very important subject.
The (Sex)abled: Disability Uncensored video is a superb discussion on the issues. There is almost no conversation about sex and the disabled in our society, making this and the other work these folks do truly groundbreaking. It’s powerful, positive, direct and personal.
From the film intro page (which Edison also quotes)
(Sex)abled: Disability Uncensored celebrates people with disabilities as sexual beings.
This new 15-minute student film features participants of the discussion panel sponsored by University of California Berkeley’s Disabled Students Union called “Are Cripples Screwed?” The film also features other Bay area community members and comedian Josh Blue (winner of Last Comic Standing) as they share their personal experiences with sex, dating and intimacy. (Sex)abled reveals that while not everyone will choose to be sexually active, everyBODY is capable of being sexual.
Sexuality doesn’t vanish easily. As most will discover eventually, some will discover sooner, and some already know very well.
