Loneliness and Its Opposite

Sex, Disability, and the Ethics of Engagement

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Don Kulick and Jens Rydström argue that for people with disabilities, being able to explore their sexuality is an issue of fundamental social justice. The authors analyze how Sweden and Denmark engage with the sexuality of people with disabilities; whereas Sweden hinders sexuality, Denmark supports it through the work of third-party sexual helpers.
