| SEXUALITY ISSUES | IDENTITY | MENSummary: Explores how a group of men with learning disabilities in South Wales experienced their sexuality and sexual identity, using an interpretative phenomenological analysis. Finds that, although the participants saw themselves as sexual beings, their opportunities for expressing their sexuality were often limited and controlled by others. Also found that the participants saw themselves more in terms of their differences from other men than of the similarities. Makes recommendations for changes in policy and practice that may facilitate the appropriate expression of sexuality by men with learning disabilities.
