Everything starts one day with that: what could be more natural than to love, to make love, to have pleasure and children… and so goes life, simple and quiet! Why is it that in our enlightened societies, the sexuality and affectivity of disabled people are still taboo? Our civilizations are multiplying their prowess in the face of the injustice of illness, accident and aging, endorsing medical care, education, work and leisure… Are they still not able to assume a subject as fundamental as life and pleasure? This book tackles without pretence and with dignity, sensitive questions for a constructive reflection.
