Disability & Sex
Do people with a disability need Sex Ed?
All people need to learn how to have safe sex, prevent STIs and unwanted pregnancies, and protect themselves from abusive relationships, as well as learn about how the body functions and different sexualities, all of which should be covered in a comprehensive sex education. The idea that disabled people don't need Sex Ed comes from the assumption that disabled people won't be having sex, which is fundamentally untrue, as being disabled does not preclude desire to have sex or people desiring them.
