Blind people face unique challenges when it comes to sex. After all, we can’t drive by a CVS to pick up birth control or catch someone making eye contact from across the bar. In “Let’s Talk About (Blind) Sex,” Laura Millar, a blind certified sex educator, joins Marissa to offer insights on sexuality and sexual health for people with low vision. They share valuable tips and advice—covering everything from accessing contraceptives online to navigating consent and healthy communication—essential for any young adult thinking about sex. They also discuss the intersection of blind positivity and sex positivity, empowering listeners with disabilities to feel comfortable, confident, and sexy in their own skin.

Laura Millar is a leading Sexual Health Educator, Researcher, and Consultant with a focus on the blind community. She graduated from San Francisco Stare University with a Master’s in Public Health (MPH) and is a Master Certified Health Education Specialist (MCHES). Through Laura Millar Consulting, she provides personalized coaching and sexual health workshops. Laura is especially passionate about accessible sex education and sits on the board of The Blind Sexuality Access Network (BSAN). She is dedicated to creating a world where consent is key and sexuality is celebrated!
