![Sex & Disability: The World Nobody Talks About | Saurora Grace [Part 1]](https://www.omnycontent.com/d/playlist/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/a4a9916d-ead5-4bbd-91ea-af87016230cd/ab22538d-1d21-4762-b678-af87016230df/image.jpg?t=1779771059&size=Large)
Saurora Grace discusses the sexual needs and rights of disabled individuals, sharing her experiences as a sex worker and advocate for disability sexuality.
She's worked with clients on ventilators. She's been briefed by mothers before sessions begin. And she believes disabled people have the same sexual needs, fantasies and rights as everyone else - they're just never allowed to say it. Saurora is a sex worker, sexologist, and fierce advocate for disability sexuality. In this episode she takes us inside her work: the practical realities of intimacy with clients who have cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy and spinal cord injuries, and why she believes shame is the real barrier. She also opens up about her own story: bullied at school, sexually curious from a young age, raised by an alcoholic single mother she adored — and how her mum's death became the catalyst that made her stop hiding and start living out loud.
