Yes. People with physical disabilities can be sexual. Some may need help. Others may be unable to be as adventurous as they’d like. They might have to be sexual in more creative ways. (Intercourse isn’t the only way to be intimate with a partner).

A physical disability does not make a person any less beautiful or less sexual than anyone else.

People with disabilities may have a harder time seeing themselves as attractive and sexual. That’s because they are often treated differently, not as people with normal sexual feelings and desires.

Also, there are very few role models for disabled people pictured in the mainstream media. Think about it. How often do you see a blind person pictured in magazine ads? Or a person in a wheelchair on television? Not often. The media pretty much ignores people with disabilities. And that makes it harder for others to understand that disabled people can have a healthy sexuality, just like everyone else.
