Disabled people are routinely assumed to lack the capabilities and
capacities to embody and experience sexuality and desire, as well
as the agency to love and be loved by others, and build their own
families, if they so choose. Centring on the sexual, intimate and
erotic lives of disabled people, this book presents a rare
opportunity to understand and ask critical questions about such
widely held assumptions. In essence, this book is a collection of
sexual stories, told by disabled people on their own terms and in
their own ways. Stories that shed light on areas of disability,
love and life that are typically overlooked and ignored. A
sociological analysis of these stories reveals the creative ways in
which disabled people manage and negotiate their sexual and
intimate lives in contexts where these are habitually denied. In
its calls for disabled people's sexual and intimate citizenship,
stories are drawn upon as the means to create social change and
build more radically inclusive sexual cultures. In this ground
breaking feminist critical disability studies text, The Intimate
Lives of Disabled People introduces and contributes to contemporary
debates around disability, sexuality and intimacy in the 21st
century. Its arguments are relevant and accessible to researchers,
academics, and students across a wide range of disciplines - such
as sociology, gender studies, psychology, social work, and
philosophy - as well as disabled people, their families and allies,
and the professionals who work with and for them.
