We are thrilled to share a fascinating conversation with the incredible folks behind SBS Audio: Love without Limits Podcast , their guest, Leisa Prowd and Cliterate founder, Anita Brown-Major. This podcast topic is very close to the Anita's heart having worked extensively in the area of disability and intimacy. We encourage you to listen to the full episode on your favourite podcast platform. "Growing up, Leisa Prowd often wondered if she could ever be seen as desirable. As a person with dwarfism, Leisa has at times been subjected to an infantilising gaze. Even as an adult, she faces ongoing discrimination and stigma. But through her dance and artistic practice, she’s reclaimed her body and is redefining what desire looks like. In this refreshingly frank and funny episode, Leisa joins hosts Madeleine Stewart and Alistair Baldwin to talk all things sex, stigma, and why disability is still treated like a taboo in the bedroom. Occupational Therapist Anita Brown-Major also joins the conversation, sharing her expertise on educating people about sexual pleasure ." Love without Limits, Episode 1 . "I think there's stigma - full stop - around sexuality. There's stigma about disability, you intersect the two, and it's just like there's so many barriers." Anita Brown-Major
