Sexuality of people with disabilities is an extremely important topic both from a psychopedagogical and health or socio-cultural perspective. Lack of public awareness, sex education and existing myths make it difficult to meet the sexual needs of these people. In addition, people with disabilities experience hysiological and anatomical limitations and also have problems finding a partner. Some of them decide to contact sex workers.
