Episode #030 Let's Talk About Sex with Saul Isbister
Sex is the opposite of death.
Howdy folks,
“Sex is the opposite of death” -Saul Isbister
Welcome to Episode #030 of The Intelligent Rebellion Podcast, Let's Talk About Sex, with Saul Isbister, President of Touching Base Inc, a volunteer-run, not-for-profit organisation, developed out of the need to assist people with disability and sex workers to connect with each other, focusing on access, discrimination, human rights and legal issues and the attitudinal barriers that these two marginalised communities can face.
Since Episode 19 when Anjelo Ratnachandra and I touched on the subject of intimacy, sex, and chronic pain, I’ve continued to wonder and be curious about the topic of intimacy and sex, particularly in the personal injury and disability space. Healthcare professionals and rehab people are always going on about holistic care, and a biopsychosocial approach, and, a part of that is acknowledging that sexual and physical intimacy are at the core to the human experience.
In this episode:
About Touching Base Inc, its origin story, vision, mission, and values.
What are sex work services, and how people can access the service.
The challenges Touching Base face in achieving their mission.
What Saul is hopeful and optimistic about
