Ageing, Sex and Disability
This groundbreaking book challenges the silence and stigma surrounding the sexuality of older, ill and disabled people - reclaiming pleasure, agency and desire in later life.
What if we reimagined ageing, illness and disability not as barriers to sexuality, but as starting points for new forms of desire, intimacy and pleasure?
Ageing, Sex and Disability is a groundbreaking book that challenges the silence and stigma surrounding the sexuality of older, ill and disabled people. Drawing from sociology, health studies, cultural theory and lived experience, the authors explore diverse expressions of sexuality that defy long-established views.
From queer ageing to sex work and legal rights, this collection offers bold, inclusive perspectives and policy ideas that centre pleasure, agency and dignity. It is a vital resource for academics, practitioners and anyone invested in social inclusion and justice.
