Become a Patron!I started working with Disabled People’s Association since 2019 or so.
In 2021, we did eight virtual sexuality education workshops – one week for parents of people with disabilities, the next for people with disabilities. The project is called DisOrdinary Love. Here are the edited recordings. Please reshare so that more people can benefit from them.
1. Sexual Health and Wellness videos (DisOrdinary Love Workshop Series)
This free workshop was run by the Disabled People’s Association (DPA) and Eros Coaching’s Dr Martha Lee.
This workshop aimed to provide specific and practical advice about Sexual Health and Wellness for individuals with disabilities.
The topics that addressed were:
- Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)

2. Dating 101 training for DisOrdinary Love Workshop Series
This workshop focused on providing youths with disabilities a roadmap of the various stages of dating. By providing an overview of dating apps, to arranging dates and finally to addressing safety and consent, this session was curated in hopes that it will assist in building confidence in Persons with Disabilities as they step into the dating scene. We believe that it is important to have the right approach and communication tools when it comes to navigating the dating world.
- Chapter 1 tackles What is dating? and How to start?
- Chapter 2 tackles Consent, Boundaries and Saying No
3. Body Positivity training for DisOrdinary Love Workshop Series

About Dr. Martha Tara Lee
Surrounded by friends who were sexually inhibited and struck by dire lack of positive conversations around sex and sexuality in Singapore, Dr. Martha Tara Lee set out to make a positive difference in embarking on her doctorate in human sexuality before launching Eros Coaching in 2009. Today, she remains dedicated to working with individuals and couples who wish to lead self-actualised and pleasure-filled lives.
She also holds certificates in counselling, coaching and sex therapy, and her fourth degree – a Masters in Counselling in May 2018. In practice since 2009, she is the only certified sexuality educator and certified sexuality educator supervisor by the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT) in Singapore.
Often cited in the media, Dr. Lee is the appointed Resident Sexologist for PinkLifestyle.com, Singapore Cancer Society, and Ofnoah.sg and Ofzoey.com. She was recognised as one of ‘Top 50 Inspiring Women Under 40′ by Her World in July 2010, and one of ‘Top 100 Inspiring Women’ by CozyCot in March 2011. She has published four books: Love, Sex and Everything In-Between, Orgasmic Yoga, From Princess to Queen and {Un}Inhibited.
Martha works with individuals and couples in private coaching sessions, and conducts her own workshops. She takes prides in making sure all her workshops are also fun, educational, and sex-positive. This comes easily to her because even though she is extremely dedicated and serious about her work, she fundamentally believes that sex is meant to be fun, wonderful, amazing and sacred. As such, this serious light-heartedness has shone through again and again. For her full profile, click here. Email her here.
