Abstract

Although our society still perceives them as asexual, people with motor disabilities still have the organ that regulates libido: the brain. Due to their pathologies, people with motor disabilities often face multiple difficulties when they wish to masturbate. Sex toys are often a means of reaching their genitals. Since the toys now on the market are not adapted to their condition, the objective of this article is to document their masturbation practices and to design adapted sex toys for people with motor disabilities. The study is based on two co-design meetings (semistructured individual interviews) with participants with motor disabilities and with a focus group of professionals (caregivers, occupational therapists, sexologists). Ultimately, this study will allow for the design of sex toys that are adapted to the condition of people with motor disabilities, and efforts will be made to ensure that these designs are accessible to this population with motor disabilities.
