About This Sex And Disability Course

Great sex is trainable — even with disability. All it takes is communication, a few adapted tools, and creativity in the bedroom. Learn how with this insightful video course by sex educator Evan Sweeney.

Your Struggles, Solved

Disability doesn’t diminish desire. Yet society often overlooks the sexual needs of disabled individuals, leaving many to navigate intimacy without proper guidance or support.

You’re likely facing:

• Dating Communication Barriers – Explaining personal care needs to potential partners feels awkward, especially when it involves third parties like aides.
• Limited Adaptive Resources – Finding sex toys and techniques that work with your specific mobility or sensory needs can be frustratingly difficult.
• Assistance Discomfort – Asking for help with intimate needs like masturbation feels embarrassing, even when you require assistance with other daily activities.

This course teaches practical adaptations for your unique body, from selecting appropriate sex toys to communicating effectively with partners and aides. You’ll learn techniques for maintaining dignity while requesting assistance with intimate needs. Discover strategies that transform limitations into opportunities for creativity, ensuring your disability requires adaptation, not abstinence.

About Evan Sweeney

Evan Sweeney
Sex and Disability Educator
Evan Sweeney is a pioneering inclusive sex educator with over 15 years of experience challenging society’s silence around disability and sexuality. Living with cerebral palsy as a non-verbal wheelchair user, they’ve conducted 200+ workshops nationwide and developed innovative techniques like their revolutionary laser-pointer communication system specifically for sexual education accessibility.

When Evan first navigated intimacy with cerebral palsy, they discovered a profound gap in resources—sexual education simply wasn’t designed for bodies like theirs. This frustration transformed into purpose after studying Gender Studies at Occidental College. Instead of accepting society’s message that “disability means abstinence,” Evan created “Cripping Up Sex,” turning personal adaptation strategies into a movement that celebrates every body’s right to pleasure and connection.

Evan’s approach balances practical solutions with emotional empowerment, focusing on adaptation rather than limitation. They combine warm humor with trauma-informed techniques that honor diverse bodies and abilities. Each adaptive strategy—from positioning techniques to communication frameworks—is presented with flexibility, allowing you to customize approaches based on your specific needs and comfort level.
