For nearly the past decade, Claire has had the chance to speak on a number of topics related to sexuality, relationships, and their relationships to issues of health and disability. Her early work focused more on ethical and aesthetic elements of the adult industry, as well as concepts of aspirational sexuality, and bridging the gap from fantasy to reality in relationships. After a series of strokes, she has shifted her focus largely to topics associated with disability, relationships, and sexuality, particularly how these intersections are often overlooked in healthcare and caring environments.
