Considering capacity to use sex toys in secure care: two case reports

Shaddel F., Mayes D.

The promotion and enabling of vulnerable and long-stay inpatients’ sexualities is a largely neglected practice. This paper offers a novel contribution to the existing literature by considering the assessment of capacity to use sex toys. It describes the development of a set of guidelines and application of these in two clinical cases. It is hoped that the paper will provide a start point from which the guidelines could be scrutinised and refined by professional bodies and legal review.
