Sexual assistance for disabled people exists in Czech Republic, says Slovak woman with muscular atrophy

A Slovak woman living with muscular atrophy has challenged misconceptions about sexuality among people with disabilities, highlighting that the belief disabled individuals do not have sexual lives is a myth. Her comments come as attention turns to the Czech Republic, which provides sexual assistance services for people with disabilities. The Czech model offers professional support to help disabled individuals access intimate relationships and sexual experiences, representing a progressive approach to addressing the needs of this community. Such services remain uncommon in many countries, where societal taboos and lack of awareness often leave disabled people without adequate support for their intimate and sexual wellbeing.
