This is an awesome resource for all people looking for a comprehensive guide on sex, something that can be seriously lacking for many in the US, especially those with disabilities - as this book mentions. Not only is this short book informative, it put a smile on my face the entire time I was reading it. By creating a graphic novel or a work of solely words, the author manages to make uncomfortable conversations come to life on the page and through seeing them happen through people, the reader is reassured of those conversations when they may come up in their own lives. This would be a wonderful book for a light but informative read, but also a great book that could be used in schools or with parents and children as this topic is navigated! I would love to see the graphics turned into an animation as well. Would recommend to anyone and will look forward to other works the author puts out.

A Quick & Easy Guide to Sex & Disability is a perfect pair of art and writing that brings the two themes of disability and sex to the table for an honest, myth-busting, informative conversation. A definitive recommendation that explores everything from finding one's own pleasure points as a disabled person to incorporating it with the very normal sexual wanting. It even dwells into the importance of communication, discussions, and positivity around the focused topics.

Caveat: I do not have a diagnosed legal disability. I have an illness-- still trying to find a diagnosis-- that has affected my health, stamina, energy, and physical abilities for 2 and 1/2 years. I'm doing better now, but I have had times of being essentially on bed rest when not at my desk job.

The illustrations are chaste and very inclusive-- different body types, different pairings, different ethnicities. I'm not sure why 100% of the characters have a dark black unibrow.

This book is appropriate for people who are coping with a recent disability and haven't previously read anything (at all ever) about sexual health, or for younger people with disabilities who are thinking about beginning sexual relationships. For people who have already read any general sexual health books, this volume doesn't add much. The advice, such as it is, is good-- communicate constantly, listen to your body, be open to alternatives-- but is unlikely to be helpful for most people. Because the author didn't focus on any single physical disability or situation, there are essentially no helpful tips for any person's particular challenge.

Not required for libraries.

I received an ARC in change of a honest review, all opinions are my own.
Rating: 4.5
This comic was great! It debunked a few misconceptions and prejudice we may have against disabled people and how they "don't" or "can't" have an active sexual life.
The main point the author decided to focus on was, talking. You should always tell your partner how you feel, or your doctor if you're thinking about starting to be more active sexually and so on.
I did find interesting to know that exists props (harnesses) that could help a person with spasticity, joint pain or muscle weakness to enjoy more sex.
Overall I did find this short comic a must read. Because after you finish it you leave with more knowledge and less prejudice about disabled people, knowledge that you can pass on to others.

This was a really interesting and informative book for both those with disabilities and those without. It is very informative on how to broach the topic of sex for those with disabilities and also those in relationships with people with disabilities. The use of a comic book style in it helps alleviate some of the heaviness associated with the topic. Further, the fact it is written by a disabled person adds a layer of authenticity and also gives a real life understanding of how to deal with the topic. Very informative.

Exactly what it says on the tin - a quick and easy guide to sex & disability! Tackles myths, communication, finding out what works for you and more. Worth a a read by everybody!

A Quick & Easy Guide to Sex & Disability is an entertaining introduction to said topic. It includes a lot of very important points for both disabled and non-disabled readers, a lot of which are also applicable to non-disabled sex and easily overlooked in mainstream sex ed. This comic is full of facts and helpful tips and ideas. I especially enjoyed the activity page, making this an interactive read that immediately invites you to think about what you read.
The illustrations and general tone of the comic is great. It's consciously far from clinical and is sure to include different disabilities, body types and skin colours. The art style is very pleasant to look at, being neither clinical photorealistic sex scenes nor shying away from the fact that this is a comic about sex.

This book is about navigating the world of sex, while experiencing a life with disabilities, in order to decrease the stigma around both sec and disabilities, and the capabilities of those with disabilities. It was well draw, and well researched, with plenty of facts from reliable sources. It walks through all the different stages of sex, to finding the best experience for you.

We've been buying this series (A Quick & Easy Guide to They/Them Pronouns and A Quick & Easy Guide to Queer & Trans Identities) as Teen at my library, and I had a feeling that some people might balk at putting this book in the same location. In order to help other selectors make this decision: there is no visual depiction of genitals in the book, and when people are depicted in sexual positions they are typically wearing underwear (or the area below the waist is not shown). However, there are visual depictions of nipples and sex toys such as vibrators and dildos. The book is straightforward, reassuring, and not erotic in tone, which I think would make it as appropriate for teens as any other sex education book (and it covers ground that other sex ed books may not). I wouldn't say that it was *aimed* at teens, however, and it doesn't cover puberty / menstruation / burgeoning sexuality at all. The book provides a healthy emphasis on consent and verbal communication as well as some practical suggestions. The art is warmly colored and drawn in a visually appealing, cartoonish style. The people depicted vary widely in skin tone and body size, and there is also a variety of scars, body hair, stretch marks, and mobility devices. The writing style is very friendly and knowledgeable without being clinical. Overall, if your library stocks sex education books at all, I would recommend that you add this to the shelf.
