Sexual Healing: Inside the World of Medically Assisted Sex

This video talks about sex and disability, and when it can be helpful to consider “medically assisted sexuality.” This piece speaks to a man with cerebral palsy and people in the sex industry who focus on clients with disabilities to share different ways people approach this experience.

“For people with physical disabilities, issues with sexual function, or a total lack of experience, the path to getting off can be isolating and just plain awkward. However, a group of sex surrogates have pioneered a radical hands-on approach called ‘medically assisted sexuality’ to help fulfill the intimacy needs of people with handicaps. In this episode of ‘Slutever,’ host Karley Sciortino investigates this culturally taboo therapeutic treatment, and meets the clients and practitioners straddling the line between therapy and sex work.”
