Experience the pieces yourself at Alice in OTR every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 6-10 PM now through August 10 🖼️

Sex looks different for everyone, and limiting our understanding of sex to just penetration is, well...boring. 🥱 For people with physical disabilities, adapting expressions of sexuality to meet their needs, preferences, and desires is part of the journey. It may take more planning or more communication, but it is possible and pleasurable! 🌈🌟 #DisabilityPrideMonth [Image description: a series of blue gradient slides with clouds, stars, and rainbows in the disability pride flag colors explaining facts about sex and pleasure for people with disabilities.]
