The paper focuses on the view and experiences of self-advocates with intellectual disabilities towards love and intimate relationships. Although sexuality is considered to be a significant aspect of human life, people with intellectual disabilities are rarely given opportunities to explore and develop it as well as to express their opinions about it. The paper presents research results conducted with self-advocates with intellectual disabilities using a qualitative study based on interpretative paradigm and focus group technique. The authors made an attempt to answer two main research questions: (1) How do self-advocates' with intellectual disabilities perceive love? (2) What contributes to their sphere of intimate relationships and sexuality? 31 self-advocates with moderate and mild intellectual disabilities took part in six focus group interviews. In the interviews several themes emerged: perceptions of love, personal experiences in the sphere of intimate relationships and sexual behaviors undertaken by the participants, their needs and environmental constraints on the way to fulfill the needs. Through the voices of 31 adults, it is shown what they consider to be important in areas such as love and intimate relationships with others. Implications for practice are discussed, including the need for sexual education and professional support for adults with intellectual disabilities.
