About the episode

In this open and honest episode, we dive headfirst into the often-taboo topic of disability and sex work. James Harkness is Autistic and has schizophrenia and psychosis. He regularly uses the services of sex workers—for connection, confidence, and intimacy. For James, it's simple: disabled people deserve fulfilling sex lives too. And he’s calling on the NDIS to reinstate funding for sex worker services, because intimacy is fundamental to human well being. Hosts Madeleine Stewart and Alistair Baldwin are tackling the taboos, breaking down tired stereotypes, and asking: why is society so uncomfortable with disabled people using the services of sex workers?
