A Quick & Easy Guide to Sex & Disability is an accessible, affirming comic-style introduction to disability and sexuality, created by disabled cartoonist A. Andrews. In just 72 illustrated pages, this book gently but clearly challenges harmful myths about disabled bodies and offers practical, real-world guidance for building fulfilling, accessible sexual experiences.
Using straightforward language, visuals, and humor, Andrews covers the basics of disability sexuality, including common misconceptions, communication strategies, and ways to think creatively about pleasure and connection. This guide centers the truth that disabled people are sexual beings—and that everyone deserves sex education that reflects the diversity of real bodies and lived experiences. Whether you’re disabled, partnered with a disabled person, or simply working to be more informed and inclusive, this book functions as a welcoming and effective starting point.
Praised by disability activist Alice Wong of the Disability Visibility Project, this guide is especially well-suited for readers who want information that feels approachable, non-clinical, and empowering, without sacrificing depth or respect.
Why I recommend this book
I recommend A Quick & Easy Guide to Sex & Disability because truly inclusive sex education has to include disability—and this book does that beautifully. It’s one I often suggest for folks who feel intimidated by dense texts or who were never given permission to imagine themselves as deserving of pleasure. The comic format makes complex topics easier to digest, while the content itself opens the door to better communication, self-advocacy, and more accessible intimacy. It’s a foundational read for anyone who wants their understanding of sex to reflect real bodies and real lives.
