Hello listmembers
I find the following just so remarkable that I have to comment.
How can one be incompetent in engaging in sexual behaviour. Even if I
could not muster one thought and move one muscle, how do you know
that my plastic pants aren't driving me wild with ecstacy?
I am flabbergasted by the thought of someone being able to determine
competency in sexual activity. Put any definition on it you want - the
ability to gain an erection - the ability to have penetrative sex - the ability
to acheive orgasm - none of these things are considered necessary for
non-disabled people to define their experiences as being sexual.
I cannot wait to hear more about the nature of this research.
