One of the perennial political/philosophical questions concerns whether it is ever justifiable for a third party to paternalistically restrict an adults freedom to ensure their own, or societys, best interests are protected. Wherever one stands on this debate it remains the case that, unlike their non-impaired contemporaries, many intellectually disabled adults are subjected to a paternalistic regime of care. This is particularly the case regarding members of this population exercising more control of their sexuality.
Utilizing rare empirical data, Foucault''s theory of power and Kristevas concept of abjection, this work shows that many non-disabled people including family members hold ambivalent attitudes towards people with visible disabilities expressing their sexuality. Through a careful examination of the autonomy/paternalism debate this is the first book to provide an original, provocative and philosophically compelling analysis to argue that where necessary, facilitated sex with prostitutes should be included as part of a new regime of care to ensure that sexual needs are met.
