<p>Sexuality and close relationships are central to human identity and well-being, yet often silenced or distorted in disability contexts. Cultural representations framing disabled people as asexual or dependent restrict opportunities for intimacy. In Greece, strong family structures, traditional gender norms, and limited disability representation create particularly restrictive conditions for negotiating sexual identity. This study explores how physically disabled Greek adults construct sexual and relational identities, and how self-esteem and resilience operate as protective or risk factors in the face of stigma and restrictive cultural scripts. Thirteen adults with mild to moderate physical disabilities participated in semi-structured interviews. Data was analyzed thematically within the frameworks of the biopsychosocial model, Social Representations and Identity Complexity Theory. Sexuality was often rendered invisible in upbringing and education. Intimacy was described both as a source of trust and validation and as a site of prejudice, rejection, and bodily vulnerability. Negotiating sexual and relational identities involved social comparisons and exclusion, but also disclosure, exploration of fluid sexual expressions and resistance to norms linking legitimacy to marriage and parenthood. Emotional landscapes highlighted love, communication and respect as essential, but frequently undermined by stigma and shame. Parenthood evoked ambivalence and eugenic anxieties, yet participants also reimagined alternative pathways. Across narratives, resilience and self-esteem emerged as central in defining and sustaining sexual identity. Despite the crucial limitations, the findings underscore the need to recognize sexuality as a fundamental right for disabled people and call for policies in Greece that challenge stereotypes, expand inclusive sex education, and support sexual citizenship.</p>
