Flaunt your sexy disabled self!
Our presenter, Evan, will chat with you about navigating dating when you need help, how adapting sex toys and masturbation when you need assistance can bring you pleasure, and how to talk with your partner about your disability. People with disabilities and able-bodied people are welcome.
Topics discussed during this event include sexuality and sex positivity.
Being able to speak up about your needs is important for all people in relationships, and especially so for people with disabilities. This April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and this is part of a series of events aimed at reducing sexual coercion, assault, and abuse within relationships through awareness and education.
Presented by Evan Sweeney, a 40-year-old disabled male who identifies as genderqueer, who works primarily as a freelance writer and sex educator. His topics include disabilities, sex, gender, and queer culture. He has been running sex and disability workshops for more than 15 years, and he got started with it after realizing how little good, sex-positive information there was for those with disabilities. Evan is the author of the book “Queers on Wheels” and has lectured across the nation, discussing sex and disability. Through “Cripping Up Sex with Evan,” he continues to conduct live and online workshops. He is also available for individual consultations.
