Sex workers learn to provide for the disabled

Few sex workers cater to people with disabilities. One company is aiming to change that. (SRF 10vor10/swissinfo.ch)

The sex drive of men with disabilities is often the same as that of their healthy peers. But it is difficult for them to find sex workers who know how to satisfy their needs.

Spotting a business opportunity in this, Isabelle Koelbl has founded the company sexcare. She wants to make it easier for people with disabilities to explore their sexuality in a more satisfying way.

As part of the business model of Koelbl’s company, she offers workshops and a website where sex workers – who cater specifically for the needs of people with disabilities – can advertise their services for a fee.

A mother with experience as a clerk, Koelbl came up with the idea for sexcare when looking for a new challenge.
