Humans are tactile creatures - we all have an innate need for contact, to be desired and loved. But what if you don't fit the popular culture stereotypes of what "desirable" looks or feels like?
Australian romance novelist Jade May has lived with a chronic illness since the age of 13 and says for a long time it shaped her belief that intimacy was for other people, not her. Now an advocate for others with chronic illnesses and disabilities, Jade explains to Susie Ferguson why she's determined to bring a bit of spice into everyone's lives.
