Whilst it's true that many of us have been, and are, still unable to receive and give forms of affection we might previously have taken for granted. An experience is known as touch deprivation.
Have you ever thought about what experiencing touch deprivation, irrespective of a pandemic, might do to a person’s...

I have way too much to say. Haha I might make a video response on my YouTube channel.

"I found out early that I’m not always good at using my fingers, but I am good at using my tongue. So why not focus on that and try to get good?"
Research and charity organizations have dedicated a heartening number of resources to studying—and offering support to—those living with cerebral palsy (CP). CP is a rare disorder which may lead to vastly varied effects...

My boyfriend and I don't have a van so we rely on public transportation to get everywhere. First off the, acronym for the door to door bus system that we use is SCAT. Not kidding. They fuck up all the time and most of the time it could have been prevented with a simple amount of communication. I totally understand what you went through. We are constantly waiting on the bus to be picked up, dropped off at the wrong place, late for an appoints, left waiting in the cold for hours or some other bullshit that happened. I am still so very grateful for the service cuz it's the only way I can get around. but because of the pandemic, I haven't ridden the bus in 4 months and I actually realized the other night that I missed waiting for the bus. haha

I completely agree @cripplethreat, these services could be improved so easily with better communication. We are not asking to be the first people on bloody Mars are we?
Sex is for everybody — as long as the person you are being intimate with is a consenting adult. People with disabilities account for 20 percent of the population but aren’t represented nearly as much as they should be when it comes to advertising, media and even pornography. Representation is important because everyone is entitled to a healthy and fulfilling sex life.
“The biggest myth...

Growing up I wanted the same as most people; a job, my own place to live and hopefully a family. I worked hard to achieve all those things, and everything was going to plan, or so I thought. Then January 2010 hit. I found a lump. At first, I did the stereotypically male thing and ignored it. But it eventually got to a point where...

@gadget is was more a case of not enough staff around to give me a receptacle to use. Thanks for your kind words. I'm glad I got through it too!

They should have been leaving you with a whole stack of them, like friggin paper cups! I'm thinking of those weird pitchers they give people when they have to strain their urine for kidney stones. Or if there ever is a next time that you're in the hospital and having this problem, maybe your wife can just bring a mason jar to the hospital. The pitchers they have would be better for safety, as they're plastic, but jeez louise! They just have to be preemptive like they are with vomit. Whenever I'm at the hospital (almost always there for intractable vomiting) they are SUPER quick to give me something to put that puke in. It's just in their best interest! Much love to you. <333
Sex and disability tend to be a taboo area for many able-bodied persons and is rarely discussed in the same sentence. As a result, more than 50% of disabled people do not have any form of a regular sex life.
Sexuality and disability refer to the sexual behaviour and practices of people with a disability (PWD). Physical disabilities such as a spinal cord injury may...

Our Cerebral Palsy Information Officer Richard recently participated in (and completed!) the first wheelchair-accessible Royal Parks Half Marathon in London. Today he shares with us his experiences:
A different lifetime ago I played wheelchair basketball for my city. I enjoyed the physical competitiveness of the sport and was fairly good. Fast forward almost 20 years and I’m comfortable, settled and content that my involvement with...

So cool, I love it!
Sex is a basic human need, yet often people with mobility challenges or physical differences are left out of the conversation, from depictions in popular media to the design of sex toys. When considering the latter, most people view sex toys as a naughty bonus. For people with a
disability or chronic illness, however, sex toys aren’t “just” for fun — they’re an empowering...Read More
