Sexability
Teddy Pendergrass is unbelievably awesome:
Phwooooooar! I just love how he goes from raunchy to sweetly gracious in a heartbeat.
Some of you may know TP was later paralyzed from the waist down. Well, that didn't stop him from reminding people that he was still a sensual, passionate man.
I think this is a perfect example of how we can re-imagine the body and the ways in which people who have different ability embody sexuality in a myriad of ways. These varying modes of expression are equally valid. I must also point out I have also thought about queerness and ability. Unsurprisingly, I think the queer communities are much more supportive of engaging with issues of ability. Look at all the lesbians who know sign language! I kid, I kid. But really, it's high time people expand their notions of sexuality!
