This study aimed to determine reproductive health, sexual functions, and sexual satisfaction levels of males with disabilities. Methods: The study had a cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlational design and was conducted on 136 males with disabilities.

Results: The total EPAI score was 19.86 ± 8.98(10-50), the total PEP score was 9.91 ± 4.20(0-16) and the total SSS score was 86.79 ± 18.20(44-119). Conclusions: Education and counseling on reproductive and sexual health should be given based on their individual needs.
