A psychologist on ‘making disability sexy’

Clip: 8/25/2016 | 3m 3s

Dr. Danielle Sheypuk is trying to end the stigma around sex and people with disabilities.

Dr. Danielle Sheypuk is attempting to derail the stigma around sex and people with physical disabilities. Born with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 2, Sheypuk knows what it’s like to have a disability -- and a sex life. But she worries that popular culture tends to show only able-bodied individuals having sex in traditional ways. This is her Brief but Spectacular take on how “anything can be sexy.”
