Madame Opens Brothel Exclusively for People with Disabilities

Becky Adams is my new hero. She's an infamous madame from the UK whose memoir won her a Brit Writers Award. Since then, she launched a non-profit telephone service where volunteers find sex workers for people with disabilities.

She's taking it one step further and opening a brothel exclusively for people with mental and physical disabilities (including returning war vets and autistics):

"You cannot stop a disabled person from having a normal life or having the same opportunities of an able-bodied person - it's discrimination. So I am a facilitator working on behalf of the person to find a sex worker - and it's completely legal. To refuse to do it is a breach of human rights. I act as their voice and limbs.

There are people who have literally spent their whole lives in institutions who have never had physical contact with anyone other than a nurse or doctor. They have never been held at night by another naked person. And a person who cannot use his arms can't relieve themselves. Literally, they have no way of sexual release, but they have all these sexual feelings."

Acknowledging the sexual needs of the disabled and couching it in terms of a fundamental right..amazing. I would love to interview her and tour the facilities.

Madam opens brotel for people with disabilities

There should be one of these in every town in the UK. Problem with this is the prices are unaffordable by most disabled people unless you are someone like Bill Gates or Stephen Hawkins. I have never been to a brotel but a properly lover who you don't have to pay would outclass any prostitute. I look normal and sound normal but theres something that puts women off me. They make you feel dirty for even looking at them as a potental partner. How dare you look at me because you are nothing. Thats how it is.
