Being inclusive of disabled people in sex education and sexuality as a whole benefits those of us who are disabled, but it also can benefit everybody.

Congratulations on starting college and on your great new relationship with a guy who means a lot and treats you well! This is an exciting time in many ways, and I’m glad to hear that you’re interested in waiting on getting sexual until you both feel ready for it. It sounds like you just started…

It’s absolutely normal to feel unsafe with someone who has demonstrated that you are not safe with them.
