Sexual health, relationships and disability

Your sexuality and desire to express it does not change because of a physical or cognitive disability. People with disability have the right to have sexual relationships, to access sexual health services and information, and to make decisions about their own bodies.

Your disability may affect your ability to have the sex life you would like and may impact some options for sexual and reproductive health such as contraception.
