Sex, Intimacy And Disability w/ Madeleine Stewart

from The Hook Up · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

Over 20% of Australians live with a disability yet there’s still so much stigma and misconceptions when it comes to their sex lives. That’s something comedian and host Madeleine Stewart is trying to change in a new doco. We chat about what she’s learnt about desire and pleasure - through her own experience as well as those she interviewed for the show. SHOW NOTES:Compass episode - Intimate Access: https://iview.abc.net.au/show/compass/series/40/video/RN2511H011S00Maddie’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/its_madeleine_stewart/Disability Advocacy Support Helpline: 1800 643 787Women Disability Australia: https://wwda.org.au/Touching Base: https://www.touchingbase.org/DM us your thoughts, questions, topics, or to just vent at @triplejthehookup on IG or email us: [email protected] Hook Up is an ABC podcast, produced by triple j.
