Sex Handicapped Porn Star Challenges Barriers
“Encarna Conde does not fit the profile of your average silicone enhanced, pouting porn star. At 45, she is a late entry to that group of women who seek fame or fortune by performing sexual acrobatics and faking orgasms for the camera…. The reason for the fuss is that Encarna is a wheelchair user who has a musclecontrol disorder called ataxia. She is also president of the Association of Andalucian Ataxia Groups….Her decision to appear on screen with professional porn actors came after she wrote to Spain’s biggest porn producer to complain that disabled people never featured in his films.”
Well, the Guardian may be slightly snarky about it, but I think it’s great. I’ve had a number of handicapped clients over the years and the image of sexless person in the wheelchair was always troublesome to them. One man - in his forties, partially paralyzed - told me he had to make sure to hide all traces of sexual activity from his live-in helpers, because they would be shocked by the idea that he had a sex life!
So you just go, sexy Encarna.
I agree with you! When I was in law school, one of my classmates was a Vietnam Vet who had had a little accident with a grenade and had lost a leg. He invited me to join a group of disable skiers as an instructor, and I wound up teaching skiing to people with various amputations for three winters. (Also to people who were deaf or blind or had other disabilities.) They were most definitely not an asexual group - some of the stuff they got up to would be right at home in Hump2. :-)
