Pornography wasn’t something Amelia Lander-Cavallo thought much about. Until, that is, they were asked to host a podcast on the subject. Lander-Cavallo had “kind of given up on porn for a variety of reasons” but as a blind, non-binary drag performer, cares deeply about the representation of disabled people’s sexuality, feeling they are often infantilised or dismissed.
“Generally speaking – and this is one of the main reasons I was excited to do this podcast – it’s very important to me that people understand that disabled people are sexual,” they explain over Zoom from the Sheffield home they share with their wife Al, who sits just out of shot. “Most people just don’t assume that disabled people have sex, think about sex, care about sex – and would consume porn, be interested and excited by porn. So it was great to talk to people who have made this their entire career.”
