Holy fuck, it's episode 100 of DisabilityAfterDark. What???! For this episode, I caught up with one of my favorite all time guests, Amin Lakhani. He reached out to me saying that he had more stuff to talk about including depression, sex, and disability, building a brand, cumming in a glove and so much more. This is a really important interview and it was totally fitting as episode 100!
In this brand new minisode, we get 2 very different letters in the inbox. Korbyn asks how to cope with the onset of a new disability, and asks how to manage this with partners. Then, we get a letter from Anonymous who shares a story of some hot sex they had with a partner, and how dom/sub/puppy play may interplay with their autistic identity. I also ask YOU to submit stories about your childhood/teen years as a disabled person and offer other suggestions for the next minisode.

In this episode, I sit down with my good friend and Pleasure Professional Eva Sweeney. She tells about her experiences working in the field of sex and disability through O School. Eva tells us hilarious stories about sex in her teens years; cum, dog hair and so much more. This was a really fun one.

This episode is a really fun, simple episode where I tell you all about some great sex I had recently. I wanted to share because we so rarely hear disabled people telling great sex stories. So often our sexual encounters as disabled people are bogged down with ableism, and I wanted to share a moment that was just some really good sex for this queer cripple. Enjoy!
In this episode, I talk with chronically ill sex blogger Rachael Rose about her blog Hedonish.com. We talk about sexuality and chronic illness, brain fog and sex, why she once named her illness "Fred"; what brings Rachael pleasure as a chronically ill person, our "jewish-ness" is revealed and so, so much more.

In this episode, I talk about some of the current sex toys on the market for disabled people. I look at the ableist mess that is the "Intimate Rider" product and explore whether I think a Tenga Egg sleeve donated by Come As You Are would actually be accessible for someone like me by opening it live on the air. I also talk more about my new venture to create the first line of sex toys for and by physically disabled people.
In this episode, I talk with a listener all the way from the UK, Morgan. We talk about their experiences with autism, sexuality, and queerness. They tell us about sex in a McDonald's, how autism affects their sex drive, autism in dom/sub/daddy relationships and a whole lot more. If you want to follow Morgan, you can do so here: [www.twitter.com/kinkyautistic](http://www.twitter.com/kinkyautistic) Enjoy!
In this episode, I get an e-mail from an anonymous listener who talks about their journey with gender identity and also discusses a little bit about their dating history as an autistic non-binary person. They also mention the lack of representation of autistic people dating in the media. This was a nice, detailed glimpse into their world, and I was happy to read and discover that this podcast has been helpful to them.

In this episode, I review 2018's Best Picture Winner "The Shape of Water". I talk a lot about the ableism in the film, and how the central character (played by a non-disabled actress... ugh) shouldn't necessarily fall in love with a fish man. I share some of my many issues with the film, as well as a few things I could relate to in love that I saw in this. I also share some reviews from disabled people who highlight just how ableist this romance between a deaf woman and a fish man actually is.
This episode is all about my feelings about Pride when you are disabled. I share some of my experiences in Prides in 2018, and my issues with the organizational exclusion of disability by Pride orgs. I focus in on Pride Toronto and how we can do better. I also talk about some super ableist incidents that happened to disabled people during pride including Stonewall and Flaming Saddles Weho in LA. I also coin the term "bahcumbug" in this episode.
