This review is from: Sexual Politics of Disability: Untold Desires (Paperback)

This book discusses an area that is usually not seen and not heard - disability and sexuality. So often disabled people are assumed to be asexual. But this book helps to show that disabled people can have a diverse range of sexual experiences, just like non-disabled people.

The book is easy to read and well written.

Being a disabled person myself, I know how hard it can be to come to terms with your identity. This book can help a lot in that regard.

I recommend it highly.
