Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study was to assess the sexuality of persons with physical disabilities and to determine whether there were differences in relation to the respondents of typical development. The study included a sample of 60 respondents, over the age of 16. The total sample is divided into two sub-samples, of which the first sub-sample consists of persons with physical disabilities (N = 30) and the second sub-sample consists of persons of typical development (N = 30). For the purpose of the assessment of sexuality, the Sexuality Assessment Instrument was used. In order to verify the set study aim, a chi-square test for an independent sample of respondents was applied. Considering the results of the research, it can be concluded that people (of typical development) without disabilities experienced more French kissing but also regretted kissing. Persons (of typical development) without disabilities have experienced kissing against their will, while persons with physical disabilities have experienced the touching of the genitals of another person against their will.
