A Desire for Love: Considerations on Sexuality and Sexual Education of People With Intellectual Disability in Poland

This article is intended to attract public attention to the fact that people with intellectual disability, despite their delayed
sexual development, still remain sexual beings, which is connected with many individual and social consequences. The empirical
data collected in this work provides knowledge about biological and psychological conditioning of sexual development of individuals
with intellectual disability. However, the problem of sexuality for this population should be further analyzed. One should
also think about the possibility of supporting the psychological and sexual development of people with more severe intellectual
disability.
