Sexual assistance

Sexual assistance is the support for people with functional diversity so that they can have sexual access to their own body.[1][2] Some people with disabilities may not have mobility in their hands so, as they can not masturbate, they may need someone's help to perform sexual activities on their own body.[3]

Controversies

While for defenders of sexual assistance this practice allows people with disabilities to exercise their own sexual rights, in the same way that other forms of assistance allow them to live independently, other positions consider that it is a form of prostitution that, just as any other, is exploitation and should be abolished.[4][5][6]
