"As it stands, sexual assistance is legal in Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany and the Netherlands, as long as a comprehensive training programme is completed. Nevertheless, it's still considered taboo, and few sexual assistants are willing to speak out.
'Disabled people are still people: they have fantasies, expectations, desires and frustrations,' explains Jacques Arnoud - a 54 year old father of three, who works as a sexual assistant in Switzerland. 'Is it acceptable that the mother of a young man with Downs syndrome has to help him masturbate every week? There are some people who disapprove of my work as a sexual assistant and refuse to be treated by me. But others think that the work is good. People who stigmatise us should be honest enough to go and find out more about sexual assistance and have some empathy.'"
Even I've never really thought about this. Thing above about Down's Syndrome never even occured to me. Guess I thought they'd just do it themselves, maybe at inappropriate times, but never considered they'd be needing help.
