Stigma can lead individuals to internalise concepts of asexuality and may negatively impact confidence, desire and ability to find a partner while distorting one's overall sexual self-concept. Societal attitudes and perceptions are driven by education and knowledge, if there is no exposure to sexuality and disability, it follows suit that society would have a narrow understanding of these issues. Further research should focus on how best to educate and inform all members of society.

Background: This review focused on how immersive head-mounted display virtual reality (VR) was used in post-secondary level education and skill training, with the aim to better understand its state of the art as found from the literature. While numerous studies describe the use of immersive VR within a specific educational setting, they are often standalone events not fully detailed regarding their curricular integration. This review aims to analyse these events, with a focus on immersive VR's incorporation into post-secondary education.Objectives: (O1) Review the existing literature on the use of immersive VR in post-secondary settings, determining where and how it has been used within each educational discipline. This criterion focused on literature featuring the use of immersive VR, due to its influence on a user's perceived levels of presence and imagination. (O2) Identify favorable outcomes from the use of immersive VR when it is compared to other learning methods. (O3) Determine the conceptual rationale (purpose) for each implementation of immersive VR as found throughout the literature. (O4) Identify learning theories and recommendations for the utilization of immersive VR in post-secondary education.Methods: A literature review was undertaken with searches of Education Research Complete, ERIC, MEDLINE, EMBASE, IEEE Xplore, Scopus, and Web of Science: Core Collection to locate reports on the use of immersive VR in post-secondary curricula.Results: One hundred and nineteen articles were identified, featuring disciplines across Arts and Humanities, Health Sciences, Military and Aerospace, Science and Technology. Thirty five out of 38 experiments reported to have found a positive outcome for immersive VR, after being compared with a non-immersive platform. Each simulation's purpose included one or more of the following designations: skill training, convenience, engagement, safety, highlighting, interactivity, team building, and suggestion. Recommendations for immersive VR in post-secondary education emphasize experiential learning and social constructivist approaches, including student-created virtual environments that are mainly led by the students themselves under team collaboration.Concannon et al. Immersive VR in Post-secondary EducationConclusion: Immersive VR brings convenient, engaging, and interactive alternatives to traditional classroom settings as well as offers additional capability over traditional methods. There is a diverse assortment of educational disciplines that have each attempted to harness the power of this technological medium.

This study investigated problems that children with visual impairments experience with sexual health education. The participants identified themes that affected their knowledge of sexual health and the need for sexual health education. Strategies that address sexual health issues for individuals with visual impairments are described.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) significantly affects the sexual lives of individuals with MS and their partners. However, health professionals often feel ill-prepared to assist these clients with sexual issues. Understanding a couple's perspective is essential for health professionals in providing relevant support and interventions. This study aimed to understand the impact of MS on couples' sexual relationships when the male partner was diagnosed with MS during the relationship. Using a qualitative approach, a description of four couples' ''lived experiences'' was gathered through semi-structured interviews with each partner separately. Communication was identified as a key element in coping with the impact of MS. Men with MS were more likely to comply with changes while women tended to take on martyr roles to protect their partners. Findings suggest clinicians should facilitate open communication, recognize each partner's intimacy needs and assist both partners to establish meaningful roles.

Sexuality is an important aspect of a couple's relationship, but is often neglected in literature which focuses on the dysfunction associated with illness or disability. This study considers the impact of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) on the couple's sexual relationship. The purpose of the study was to understand the ''lived experience'' of couples in which the female partner was diagnosed with MS during the relationship. An in-depth semi-structured interview was used with each partner separately. Participants identified the primacy of communication in coping with the effects of MS. The women with MS live with the unpredictable course of their disease and doubts about their worthiness, attractiveness, and identity. The male partners of these women with MS perceived little impact on the women's sexuality, likely because the women went to great lengths to maintain their customary roles and to buffer their male partners from the full impact of the disease.
