Hendicap e sessualita)
How to speak about sexuality?
If we need to speak about it isn't
it better to practice it?
Of course, but practice does not just
materialize on its own, therefore, we feel that these things need to be talked
about, we need to share our experience about it, just as it is with other
aspects of our life. A stereotype about persons, who are disabled being asexual,
is still very much vivid in our society. As it is with other stereotypes, this
one too must be rejected and done away with. This, too, is one of the reasons
why this section of the portal was built, to serve as a place where you can talk
about sexuality. It should not be perceived only as a problem, but also as a
source of pleasure and comfort. A question about what kind of language should be
used is, of course, immediately posed. We would not want to sound too technical,
but we should also avoid vulgar and offensive words. A lot of words are not
allowed to be used in public, because they are considered indecent and some of
the words are considered improper. These problems are present in our society,
because we are not used to talking about sexuality. We, therefore, wish to
invent new, maybe even "naughty" words, to put together a new vocabulary,
enabling us to communicate in a relaxed and unburdened manner.
