PLAYA DEL REY, Calif.—After years assisting sexual health and wellness brands with marketing, Adella is debuting a new e-commerce platform, IntimacyRehab.com.
Differentiating itself from other adult sites, “it focuses on intimate occupational therapy, with a mission to restore pleasure as a valid, supported part of healing and whole-person health through education, adaptive tools and stigma-free conversation,” a description reads.
“Someone born with cerebral palsy may have spent a lifetime rarely seeing their sexuality acknowledged. Someone adjusting to a spinal cord injury or paralysis may suddenly be navigating questions about intimacy or sensation with very few places to turn. Too often, disabled people are left out of conversations about sexuality altogether," the description continues.
“There is this whole intersection of shame around disability and sexuality, and when you put the two together, hardly anyone is talking about it,” Adella said. “There isn’t one place where people can find resources, hear stories from people with different lived experiences, explore products without judgment and simply have it acknowledged that all bodies are inherently sexual and deserve intimate pleasure."
Traditional adult retail “often assumes shoppers already know the product categories, terminology and type of product they need. For someone navigating disability, changes in mobility, sensation or discomfort, or other physical barriers to intimacy, that can create another barrier,” the description adds.
Intimacy Rehab defines product categories by function and experience—comfort and pain reduction, mobility and reach support, positioning, reduced sensation, hormonal changes, chronic pain, aging and recovery after surgery.
The platform also is “designed to be a place where people can find practical support, education and lived experiences without treating disability, illness or physical challenges as something that removes sexuality from the conversation.”
Consumers, healthcare professionals, caregivers, educators and industry partners are invited to learn more at IntimacyRehab.com.
