Are We Becoming More Comfortable as a Global Society?

From the beginning of time, there has been a need for sex, with a subsequent reason to develop a concept of sexuality. Enlightenment provides opportunity to be more inclusive, rather than solely excluding and limiting. Over time, across societies and individuals, we are brought to recognize the complexities and the beauty of such a basic human expression. A similar development evolves with the continuing understanding of disability and ability.

The theme of the 20th World Congress of the World Association for Sexual Health is ‘Forging the Future—Sexual Health for the 21th Century.’ The theme was chosen to emphasize and advance the interest of sexual health, sexual rights and universal sexual education. Through presentations, conversations and publications the work continues.

Sexuality and Disability provides original impact articles addressing the mental health and medical aspects of sexuality in relation to rehabilitation, hospital, academic and community settings, publishing up-to-date articles, case studies, clinical practice reports, reviews, featured articles, historical articles, special grand rounds topics, brief research reports and survey data reports. Value benefit is provided to authors through worldwide electronic exposure and professional access, while readership gains from scholarly contributions to advance the field through research, best-practice and educational articles. The refined lens of individual contributions from the local and international community continues to deliver a wealth of information on the topic of sexuality and disability for the reader.
