Episode 089 - Silly Things I’ve Done to Make Boys Like Me

In this episode, I share with you some stories of things I have done to make boys like me, or stuff I did in the pursuit of peen - or both, and some of these things compromised my disability, health and safety. From flying by myself on airplane with a damaged wheelchair to meet a guy who paid no attention to me, to waiting 3 hours on a fall evening for a hook up who didn't show and also catching pneumonia, and lastly trying to get home from a hook up gone wrong, only to unintentionally flash people my disabled dick! If you did something silly for love, lust peen and everything in between that compromised your disability, let us know at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) Remember, you can support this show by pledging to our Patreon: patreon.com/cripplecontent as little as $1/month helps this show stay up and running!

Episode 088 - Ableist Busting Sex Tech

In this episode, I look at the way we talk about technology advancements with respect to disability. We love seeing wheelchairs that walk up stairs as ways to fix ableism, but other forms of technology like sex toys treat disabled people like sad, poor people who can't ever get laid. I wanted to change that conversation and so by looking at sex dolls, virtual reality sex consoles and teledildonics, I discuss why these options could actually be great ways to incorporate disability into the sex tech industry in a positive way. Enjoy!

Episode 085 - DisabilityAfterDark Reviews “The Sessions”

Hey y'all! In this episode, I review the 2012 movie about sex and disability that won over the world, ["The Sessions." ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5d7wE4YRvk) I have a lot of feelings about this indie darling that introduced the world to sex, disability and polio! I have an included [an essay](https://www.thesunmagazine.org/issues/174/on-seeing-a-sex-surrogate) written by Mark O'Brien, the central figure in this film who works with a sex surrogate to have sex for the very first time. The movie was based on the essay. I am also including a [written piece](http://msmagazine.com/blog/2012/11/26/what-if-the-sessions-focused-on-a-disabled-woman/) about what the movie might have looked like if it were centred around a woman with disabilities. I hope you enjoy this jam-packed episode!
