Seizing Sex: A Reflection on Sex Education and Epilepsy
Sex Education: Sexuality, Society and Learning, v23 n2 p161-167 2023
Sex education rarely covers disability. This paper uses autoethnography to reflect on how being epileptic impacted the author's understanding of sex and sexuality. The paper grapples with disability narratives and internalised ableism surrounding sex. The paper seeks to engage with conceptions of "who" sex education is for, and how disabled people are treated when it comes to sexuality.
