Courage for (un-disabled) Lust - A Journey to Self-worth through Pleasure (2024)
Mut zur (unbehinderten) Lust — Eine Reise zum Selbstwert durch Leidenschaft
‘The body that I had long considered unattractive suddenly discovers its sexuality,’ says Rike, the protagonist of the documentary, who lives with Möbius syndrome. In the film, we follow her journey to regain confidence and acceptance of her body, which begins with the experience of a paid sex service. Thanks to sexworker Ben Nordmann, Rike learns a new perspective on her body, pleasure and intimacy. The documentary sensitively addresses the sexuality of people with disabilities, showing how they are often denied the opportunity to explore and satisfy their own needs.
