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!

In this episode, I reflect on my past year of sex and disability. I come out with some things I want to share with the audience. I also share with you what scares me as a disabled person, and the kind of sex I want to have as your #1 Queer Cripple as I approach 34. Enjoy!
In this minisode, I get an e-mail from "Pup Ori", who loved Episode 079 about Pup Play and shares with us how this kink has helped him come to terms with his disability. Remember if you want to write in for a minisode, e-mail [email protected]
In this episode, I decided that I wanted a record of some of the shitty things I have done as a disabled guy in bed, to show that we can fuck up too, and it isn't always guys saying ableist shit, it's me being an asshole. I wanted to call myself out so that I can grow and NEVER do it again! Enjoy!
For this minisode, I got 2 e-mails from a listener who wanted to talk about his experiences being disabled in a frat house, and some of the sexy, crazy, hypermasculine hijinks that can go on. If you wanna contribute for a minisode, be sure to e-mail [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).
In this episode, I speak with Spoken Word Artist and Sex Educator, Nathan Say about everything from being a disabled nudist, to poly identities to poverty, to attendant care to glory holes and sucking dick! This was a great interview, although there were some audio glitches in this one... sorry!
In this episode, I go back in time to my summer days as a camper at camps for youths with disabilities. I share with you more awkward moments as I was coming out to myself, realizing that I could date other disabled people, and almost making out with counsellors...
In this minisode, I get an e-mail from Edward who asks, "Is it okay to draw images of disabled people enjoying queer sexuality, when I am not disabled? Is it appropriation or not?" I let him know my thoughts in this minisode! If you want to write in for a minisode, please e-mail [email protected] with anything you want about disability and I'll do my best to make it a great topic!
In this episode, I have a super-sized conversation with essayist Kayla Whaley. She wrote an essay on body image, disability and her own experiences losing the ability to swallow food, and how that affected her weight and her view of herself. [Here it is](https://catapult.co/stories/on-losing-the-ability-to-eat-solid-food-body-image-and-disability): We also talk about writing about the disabled body and so much more.
