Sex and the mentally handicapped
We often assume that mentally handicapped people are ‘sexless’. Just because some people are
mentally handicapped, it does not mean that they do not have sexual feelings and desires.
Unfortunately, because of the mental handicap, they are less likely to meet a person who wants to
have sex with them. They may not be able to communicate their sexual feelings as well as others.
For these reasons, they may become unhappy and angry and may show abnormal sexual behaviour.
Such people (and their families) need counselling to explain sexual behaviour. In particular, you
can suggest masturbation as a way of achieving sexual pleasure. Sometimes, however, the sexual
behaviour can become abnormal and even dangerous to others. Refer such people to a specialist
mental health service.
