One of the biggest upsides to the age of online pornography is easier access to diverse content.

You no longer need to watch VHS tapes or go to the corner store for a magazine. With an Internet connection, today you can view adult content almost instantly from a mobile phone or computer.

Your choices have also expanded greatly. As big adult studios lose their stranglehold on the industry, a larger spectrum of body types and eroticism are making their way on film.

Indie studios and online hubs like Himeros.tv, PinkLabel.tv, Crashpad Series, now feature queer and disabled performers having sex, even getting kinky at times.

Here’s a list of popular adult films featuring disabled performers. If you have any recommendations we didn’t share, please let us know in the comments section. We plan to keep updating the list as more resources become available.

Want – A film by Loree Erickson

Filmmaker Loree Erickson says her adult short film WANT “was the first of its kind in 2006.”

The 9-minute “queercrip porn” definitely made an impact, winning several awards including Sexiest Short at the 2008 Feminist Porn Awards.

WANT features Erickson alongside a trans male performer, who later became her lover in real life. Passionate and sexually explicit scenes are intertwined with “everyday moments and scenes of the ableist world.”

Last year, Erickson followed up her successful debut by airing Sexxxy Beasts & Wheelchairs at the 2019 Scottish Queer International Film Festival. The adult film is “made by and about Deaf and Disabled queer people.” It also costars Nommy, who describes himself as “bad ass, fat ass, Jew, dyke amputee.

Sexxxy Beasts & Wheelchairs is not yet available online. However, you can view the screenshots below in the meantime.

Erickson is also a postdoctoral fellow at Ryerson’s School of Disability Studies. Speaking to The Eyeopener, she points out common misconceptions about sex and disability:

For my students, porn is objectification: when I’m teaching, people will say [my video screenings] are not porn because I clearly have agency. They’ll also say there’s no sex but there’s definitely sex, just not heterosexual, cisgender penis in heterosexual, cisgender vagina. That’s why I think porn is such a useful medium—because it gets right at the heart of strongly held beliefs, stereotypes and misconceptions about who’s desirable and who’s a sexual agent.

Kenneth Cronin and Pierce Paris

Kenneth Cronin is a quadriplegic. At 18 he became paralyzed from the biceps down due to an injury.

But that hasn’t stopped him from pursuing his dream of being in adult film. Instead, he got in touch with Davey Wavey, the founder of gay male site Himeros.tv.

In an email, Cronin shared his trouble finding a company that would film him. He also expressed his interest in taking a submissive role.

My perfect scene would just be something for an audience to understand that just because I live a little different life I am still a very sexual person, and that it is OK to be dominant over someone in my situation, as long as there is an understanding and respect before hand.

Cronin lucked out it seems! In January, Himeros.tv released an “aggressive” oral sex scene between him and popular adult performer Pierce Paris.

This list is just the beginning. We plan to add more sex and disability scenes soon, If you recommend any sex-positive content featuring disabled performers please share in the comments.
