Hey, Disability After Dark Listeners, I wanted to do something special today. You may have heard on the show that I'd be releasing When I Was A Disabled Ki episodes exclusively on Patreon. BUT - I wanted to gift you with the first episode of When I Was A Disabled Kid - as a thank you for supporting DisabilityAfterDark. This first episode is with my friend; author, disabled activist Carrie Wade. We talk about her childhood growing up with Cerebral Palsy, no snow, coming out as Queer and Disabled and so many more things that make her who she is.
In this episode, I talk with disabled, queer photographer, Robert Andy Coombs. We talk about how he became disabled and how he felt about that, his amazing photography work centering disabled, male sexuality and why he is a badass in the bedroom. This one is funny, raw, sexy, and I definitely spent half the episode flirting with Robert! Enjoy.
In this episode, I sit down with award winning author and journalist, Belo Cipriani as we talk about navigating the world as a blind gay man; everything from how he became blind to the accessibility of gay hook up culture is openly explored. Of course, we have some laughs too. Enjoy!
In this episode, I talk with Jewish sex educator and behavior specialist, Galia Godel. She works as a sex educator around sexual health and intellectual disabilities. We talk about how to talk about sex and sexuality with intellectually disabled people. She shares some experiences working with intellectually disabled clients, we talk consent and so much more.
In this episode, we sit down with writer, activist and disability badass, Ace Ratcliff. We talk about things dislocating during sex, revealing your identity as an ambulatory wheelchair user on dates, and we talk to Ace about how their use of pronoun they/them is directly related to their disabled identity.
In this episode, we look at tips and tricks for a sexy, disabled sleepover, and how a lot of the tips in popular culture around sleepovers aren't accessible to disabled people.
In this episode, find out why I have "Queer Cripple" tattooed on my chest, and how all my tattoos connect to my sexuality and my disability. Let me know if I should get a sexy pin up tat or not. I tell you the story of when I got a tattoo to impress a boy, and so much more. Enjoy!
In this episode, I sit down with Sara Camps, an autistic queer person whose gender is cat lady. We talk about how autism affects her experience of intimacy. Sara talks about running a queer disability support group at a University, and suggests ways that University groups can engage with intersectional identities better. We talk about her relationship with her cishet husband, and so much more. Enjoy!
In this episode, I sit down with the hilarious Karolyn Gehrig, creator of the #HospitalGlam hashtag about sexuality, disability, and so much more. Our conversations touch on Karolyn's experience of EDS, her "How Much Blood is Too Much Blood", talking about the right to die and then getting her pussy eaten out with a date, and lots more.
In this episode we chat with relationship and sexual wellness coach Kat Nantz. We go into her experience of Charcot Marie Tooth Disease and how that plays into sexuality for her. We also chat about grieving disability, BDSM, Kink and Power with Disability, Parenting and Disability and so much more.
