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!
