	Description:		"Research has shown that disabled people are less likely to have a long-term partner or marry than non-disabled people, although this is very dependent on impairment type. When a 2014 newspaper poll asked Britons if they had ever had sex with someone who had a physical disability, 44 per cent said ‘No, and I don’t think I would’. So how can we shift the negative images of disability and sexuality that still dominate society’s attitudes? Disabled people and their allies have been campaigning for change for decades. While it is not going to be easy, change is on the way, but with it comes new controversies." What can disabled bodies teach us about sex, and why should we listen? Written by Katharine Quarmby, read by Kirsten Irving, produced by Barry J Gibb Read the full text original and accompanying 'DVD extras', published on Mosaic.
