Disabled Woman Makes Porn Debut


Spain--Encarna Conde needs to use a wheelchair but that's not stopping her from making a splash with the new porn flick, Breaking Barriers.

When Conde got fed up with the lack of disabled women being featured in mainstream porn, she decided to take matters into her own hands. She wrote a letter to Antonio Marcos, the head of XCanal, Spain's largest porn company.

Marcos agreed to hold an open casting call for aspiring, disabled porn stars. When no one responded, Conde volunteered herself.

"It was very pleasant," Conde said of her first on-screen effort, "though, I was somewhat cowardly."

The film deviates from the standard porno formula by ending with a serious discussion with the producer about disabled women and their sexuality.

"Disabled women have to take steps forward and one should always be happy if one breaks a barrier," Conde said. "Everybody, whether they are disabled or not, has the right to make their own sexual choices."

Encarna Conde is the president of the Association of Andalucian Ataxia Groups.
