Accessibility + Sexy = Acsexybility? The title may hurt to look at, but sound it out and it makes perfect sense.Subscribe to our newsletter for your front-row seat to all things entertainment with a sprinkle of everything else queer.From the very first shot of its trailer, Acsexybility announces itself as a film willing to go there and show its audiences they’ve never seen before, as we watch a short woman in a motorized wheelchair moving through a neon-lit room and whipping out a leather BDSM whip.But her story is just one of many told in this fascinating documentary, which features candid interviews with people from across the spectrum of queerness and under the umbrella of people living with disabilities.We meet a nonbinary, pansexual person with a physical disability.
There’s a man with Down Syndrome who’s not new to the dating scene, but who hadn’t had sex because his partners’ parents wouldn’t allow it.
There’s a blind woman who bravely shares her experiences with sexual assault.Woven together, these varied experiences all work to deconstruct the stereotypes that people with disabilities are sexual.
