I am Disabled

I am trying to find someone to talk to, openly, about intimacy and sex.
But, people always seem embarrassed to discuss it with me, and I am worried about raising the subject with my health professional.
Because they find it awkward.
Which makes me feel frustrated and sad.

How we can help:

  • Whatever your particular challenge is, we are virtually un-shockable. We are comfortable with using a range of terminology from penis to vah-jay-jay (!). You really don’t have to worry about embarrassing or offending us.
  • Wherever you place yourself on the rainbow of sexuality and gender, we’ll happily chat with you.
  • We have many years of experience in the area of disability and sex. See our “Meet the Team” page on this website. If we haven’t “been there and done that”, we probably know someone who has! We are happy to signpost you to other organisations we feel may have more lived experience or professional experience than us on a specific topic.
  • Navigating through care needs assessments, personal health budgets, and direct payments is familiar territory to us. We understand the challenges these systems place in front of you, and are happy to peer support you where possible. Generally speaking, sex and intimacy support needs can be included in the section relating to Activities of Daily Living.
  • If you think we can help you, please get in touch. Simply email [email protected] or give us a call on 07758 724191.
  • I like to work flexibly due to reasonable adjustments for my own disabilities. Please do leave a voicemail message, if necessary, and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
  • If you prefer, fill in the form on our contact page and I’ll get back to you by email.
  • Prefer contacting us by post? Our land address is SWAD Dorset, PO Box 9532, Poole, DORSET, BH15 9HY, UK
