Abstract Exploring accounts of the search for sexual intimacy for 14 men with cerebral palsy revealed a range of issues and impediments and a complex intersubjective process in their search for a lover. Yet, despite an adverse sociocultural context of disability and desirability, most of the men had experienced long-term sexual relationships. The cultivation of several aspects of self and society was noted as facilitating the possibility of their establishing sexual intimacy with others.
