A man has called for a more open discussion about disability and sex.
Rhys Bowler, 34, is set to take part in a new documentary which aims to discuss and tackle real life issues which starts on January 30.
Rhys, from Treforest, Wales, has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a genetic condition that causes progressive degeneration of the muscles.
He now wants the "taboo of talking about sex and disability" and answer the questions that people are "too scared to ask", Wales Online reports.
He explains on the programme: "People often ask - how do disabled people have sex? I say it depends on the person.
"It depends on what you can do in terms of physical capabilities. Disabled people have sexual urges. We are still humans, we want sex. We're the same as everyone else. It's a fact of life.
"Every experience I've wanted to try, I've done it. I can honestly say - I work like any man out there. And I haven't had any complaints!
"If you need to do something - then you can! If you have a disability, that doesn't have to stop you. If you can't do those things, you'll find a way to do it."
During the show, Rhys also talks about accessing sex workers in the past, as he felt it was the only way he could have sex. According to Rhys, the service should be made available for disabled people through the national health service.
He said: "This was my way of feeling better, by having sex.
"It was easy for me to do it, it was easy for me to gain access. I didn't have to tell anyone about what was going on.
He added: "I have the opinion that sex workers should be on the NHS for disabled people like me".
In the show, he talks candidly about wanting a meaningful relationship - something of which he concludes is more important than having sex.
Rhys said: "I think I'm at the time in my life where I want more serious relationships. I'm 34 now, you have to settle down at some point in your life.
"For me, independence means everything. I know a lot of people in my situation who live at home with their family. I love my mum, but I want her to be just my mum. I don't want her to be my carer. I want to be my own man.
"When they tell you you're going to die when you're 15 - back then that was the life expectancy with muscular dystrophy - life is short, so death isn't there to scare you.
"It's freedom if you think about it. Obviously, life is going to be hard sometimes, you just have to live your life for today."
