In their work, he seeks to explore how the lived experience of disability feels, as it interplays with intersectional communities. By using hashtags like #diSAYbled, #DisabilityAfterDark, #BearinAChair and #KissAQueerCripple Andrew shares their lived experiences of disability, queerness, sexuality and body image in a raw, vulnerable and unapologetic fashion. He has presented all across North America on sex and disability as a Queer Crippled man. Their written work has been highlighted in Out Magazine, The Advocate and Huffington Post. He hosts the Disability After Dark podcast, which shines a bright light on sex and disability, while also aiming to explore parts of the disabled experience that we don't often hear about.

Key points: - Andrew introduces himself - Ableism and creating spaces for learning - The sexual stigma of disability - Disability representation in porn - Considerations for sex with a disabled person - The depth of “yes” - Andrew's relationship with care - Using social media to raise awareness - Playing with identity, femininity and masculinity - Assumptions about people with a disability Relevant links: Andrew's website: http://www.andrewgurza.com/ Andrew's Twitter/Instagram: @andrewgurza_ Cam's Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thecamfraser

Andrew Gurza, an award-winning Disability Awareness Consultant and the Co-founder of Handi, a sex toy company that puts pleasure within reach for disabled people, joins us to tell three moving stories from his life. The first takes us to his early childhood to the moment that he really felt the emotional weight of his disability. This difficult story is interwoven with the wonderful humor Andrew is famous for. In the second story, he recounts the first time he had sex as a queer and disabled young man in college with such transparency and vulnerability that we feel everything right there with him; the excitement, the struggle, and the pain. And in his third story, he exuberantly rolls down the red carpet as his purpose and importance as a queer, disabled activist becomes crystal clear. In this interview, and as always, Andrew is brimming over with full tilt loveability, humor, and naughtiness in the best possible way. We hope you join us for this amazing episode of Open Deeply that allows us all to have a better idea of what it's like to be queer, disabled and a living testimony to the viral hashtag of his making, #DisabledPeopleAreHot.

There are a lot of stereotypes about disabled persons, but one of the biggest is that they are necessarily asexual. However, that’s just not true. Disabled people have sexual wants and needs. They masturbate. They have sex. But almost no one talks about this. Sex and disability is a taboo topic that’s been on the margins for far too long, and we need to change that. For this episode of the podcast, I interviewed Andrew Gurza, an award winning Disability Awareness Consultant. He has spoken all over the world on sex and disability and he is the host of the podcast Disability After Dark. We cover a lot of ground in this episode, including: Why is sex and disability such a taboo topic in the first place, and why is it important for us to break that taboo? How can all of us benefit from shining a light on this subject? How is our healthcare system failing us when it comes to addressing the sexual health needs of disabled persons, and how do we change that? What are the conversations we need to be having around sex and intellectual disabilities? How is sex and disability viewed in other cultures? What can we learn from them? When and how do you disclose a disability to a potential sexual or romantic partner? If a potential partner discloses a disability to you, what types of questions and responses are appropriate? Which ones are inappropriate? How is SexTech changing the conversations we’re having about sex and disability? How is technology improving the intimate lives of disabled persons?
