This work focuses specifically on the issues relating to the sexuality of people with learning disabilities. At root, these are ethical issues. Sex worries people in our culture and in the case of those we perceive as vulnerable, this can lead us to deny their sexuality.;The authors use a storytelling approach to challenge readers into thinking more about an area that is at times put to one side. They explore the rights of people with learning difficulties to be informed about sexuality, to form rleationships, to express their sexual nature and to found families.
