Sexual Self-realization of Persons with a Mental Handicap

Publication at Catholic Theological Faculty |
2010

Abstract

A change of sexual self-realization belongs to the essence of human person. People with a mental handicap often have no interest and no chance to fulfil their sexual needs in a marriage, but still they have them.

If they fulfil them outside marriage, they get into contradiction with the teaching of the Catholic church which does not consider such a situation and offers no solutions to it.
