Can & Able
Femina|October 24, 2018

A disability doesnt naturally have to translate into a lack of desire. Neeti Jaychander asks a few pertinent questions and gets pointed answers for having a fulfilling sex life

Can & Able

Laila, a college student, composes music, plays chess, writes, and is fascinated by sex, and masturbates to porn. Sounds about right for a college student, no? The difference is that Laila (a character essayed by Kalki Koechlin in the 2014 film, Margarita With A Straw) is affected by cerebral palsy. Director Shonali Bose’s sensitive handling of the topic hit home one point: being disabled doesn’t necessarily mean being free of sexual desires. Talking about sex in India is hard, more so for someone with a disability. Asking questions on improving sex life is a whole other ball game. We get experts to answer a few questions that you may have left unasked.

What should I keep in mind before having sex?
