Chapter 1. Sex & Disability or Illness
Sex & Disabilities/ Illness 1
A disability scares the hell out of most people so it's up to the disabled person to make the nondisabled one feel comfortable.
Disabled guy
The greatest disability is a closed mind.
Blind guy thankful he isn't an asshole
How do you define sex? Some people say sex is 90% in the brain so regardless of disability, if you still got a brain, you still got sexual ability.
Disabled people just have to be more creative in exercising their sexuality. They say men who can’t get an erection can still get horny and even orgasms.
Some disabled men say using a vibrator or another masturbation machine will bring them to orgasm which has a twofold purpose; for pleasure and to gather up enough sperm for artificial insemination.
Many physical conditions could impose
limitations on a couple to prevent a normal sexual relationship. There are injuries, deformities, and recuperations from surgeries.
Two partners who love each other have to use the situation to develop new, creative ways to provide sexual satisfaction for each other.
Learning these techniques together could be good for the marriage as husband and wife grow together after the mishap. Try to stay intimate.
Often after a dramatic illness, there is a period of a lack of sexual desire often due to depression. This can be tough on the couple. In general, an improvement in health equals an improvement in sex drive. Even paralyzed people can engage in sex with the tongue.
Many men and women alike, after they get an illness and are older, like about 55+ years old, simply give up on sex even if theoretically, then can engage again. It’s up to them. Use it or lose it.
Sex-Ability is a term I’ve seen bandied around regarding disabled people and their need for an expression of their sexuality. It’s a workshop for disabled people offered at various places throughout North America.
Participants, mostly people with a mobility disability, meet once a month to discuss sex related topics. The Planned Parent Federation (plannedparenthood.org, ppfa.org, ppfc.ca, canada)is involved with this program.
Just because anyone is disabled doesn’t mean they can’t have sex or don’t think about it. The sexuality is still there.
In some cases, the tools might be damaged but the brain still releases neurotransmitters and hormones that relate to sex drive so the thoughts are still there even if the penis or vagina have been damaged in some way.
The sex for disabled people advocates say:
Be yourself.
Develop a lifestyle to feel good about yourself.
Have fun.
These are all positive signs that you’re approachable and will help lead to social encounters and eventually a healthy relationship if that’s what you want but there are no guarantees in love for anyone, disabled or not.
People without disabilities generally have misconceptions about disabled people and sex suxh as:
People with a disability don’t think about sex.
They don’t have sex much.
If they do, their babies will be born with a
disability.
The big issue is the general segregation between non-disabled and disabled people in life in general.
So-called normals feel self-conscious around disabled people so generally stay away which is why the disabled individual has to take initiative and make "normals" feel comfortable around him or her. and if you’re interested in sex and/ or a relationship, you have to put out the cues that you’re fair game.
Sex doesn’t have to be intercourse. It’s whatevcr works at the time between the players involved. Remember two key concepts:
The brain is the major sex organ.
The largest sex organ is the skin.
You have to rediscover your body and do what works. It can be a difficult at first. You have to work around the disability to enjoy a healthy sexual life.
Sexuality is a part of everyone’s lifeforce regardless of how distorted or disabled their bodies are. Minimize the effects of the disability on the libido. There doesn’t have to be a taboo about it as there currently is.
A major problem of some disabled people is to get the privacy to explore their sexuality. People who receive attendant care are unable to do some things for themselves. It’s very difficult to get romantic with someone when you need an attendant to lift you up and put you in bed.
A disability can be a two-pronged deal regarding sexuality. For people who enjoyed sex before the illness or injury, it will be a nuisance and they’ll have to find ways around it to enjoy their sexuality. For others, the disability or illness is a great excuse to stop engaging in sex with their spouses.
Often, people who are very sick become more open to new possibilities in life and one of the facets of this is an increased interest in sex and intimacy. At the least, sick people often want to touch and connect more with others on a deeper level.
When you’re sick, you often realize it could be your last chance to enjoy your life so if you’re gonna do it, you must be able to muster your determination to keep going no matter what.
Sexuality helps people feel better and could help them heal. There will be limits and a time for adjustments but it’s worth it to try for sex rather than let it go.
Disabled people are as horny as anyone else. They want love and romance too. Many have children. The worst thing for disabled people is to be pitied or treated as less than full human beings. Respect them enough to treat them like you treat everybody else and accept them for who they are.
Disabled people in general say they're treated like wallpaper everywhere they go, people would rather ignore them than force a conversation because they assume the person is morbid, serious, feeling sorry for himself with a chip on his shoulder against the world but it's not necessarily true.
Some disabled people try to shut themselves away from society but many don't.
They're mature enough to accept themselves as is and proceed on from there, trying to live normal lives, earning a pay cheque and finding someone to love who loves them back.
Don't give them pity, just a chance to show they can be good, genuine, loving, happy human beings. The fact is that no matter how lovable and cheerful any disabled person is, he or she will still get rejection and stares wherever they go.
Sex is a very sensitive subject as is so if you add a disability and sexual functioning problems on top of it, you know how it is to deal with it.
The goal is for the person with the disability/ disease and his or her sexual partner to work together as a team. Adjusting to changes is an important part of coping with the illness. Make it a point to understand why sexual changes are happening, to know what to expect, and to know what you can do to deal with or adjust to those changes.
Sexual problems with most disabilities have physical causes, emotional causes or both. Even with physical problems, people can still find some manner of feelings of pleasure.
Changes in the way a man or woman feels about their attractiveness can have an effect on sexual ability.
Talk over feelings or concerns. It is important for the afflicted person to discuss any fears or questions with his or her sexual partner. Talking about sexual matters with a close friend or medical professional can also help.
Plan periods of time for intimacy when you will not be interrupted. Privacy is important for relaxation and sexual pleasure.
Some pleasure comes from touching and being held. Sexual intimacy can be achieved without intercourse, without orgasms and without erections or ejaculations simply by holding, touching and kissing. Touch brings comfort and security.
For the lovers of disabled people, especially if they're not disabled themselves, they get a lot of feedback from friends, family and acquaintances about what a tough life they'll have, how it's better to split and cut their losses.
The families of the disabled one try to discourage relationships with nondisabled people because they're afraid the person leave at some point in time and the disabled one will be devastated.
On the other hand, some "normal" people prefer disabled people because they've been hurt before and feel that a disabled person would be more sincere and loving, have a mothering complex to mother someone not as independent as they are, feel that they will get that dependency type commitment they really want, see themselves as saviours or simply have a fetish for this type of person.
It could also be that two people, a disabled and nondisabled one, fall in love like normal people do, be being irresistably attracted to the spiritual essenses/ vibe and looks of each other.
Sex & Disabilities/ Illness 2
Don't act like your disability is a big sullen tragedy. Be positive, put your best foot forward, act like it's just a minor nuisance rather than a full-fledged impediment.
Disabled guy
Having a disability means that if you want sex relations, you have to talk about it and be up-front about what works for you and what doesn't.
Be creative about the things you do to get off either by yourself or with a lover.
As a disabled person, you can put up ads where normals want to date disabled people.
If you have a disability or poor health, you have to accept yourself, get over it and do the best you can trying to enjoy your life and sex because it's still your birthright.
You almost never see disabled people have sex, make love or talk about it in the mainstream media. People of all abilities have sex drives. They are entitled to sexual fullness like anybody. People with disabilities are often desexualized by doctors, care-givers, friends, family and in many cases themselves.
Most disabled people can still have sexual intercourse even though you don't have to have intercourse to enjoy sex. You can have oral sex, hand jobs, kiss, hug, etc.
You might not be as physically attractive as you like but you should be a more sensitive person seeing as you understand people's feelings since people are always hurting yours by treating your disability like a contagious disease. You have to feel worthy, attractive and entitled to your sexual birthright.
Both men and women with spinal cord injuries can have a sexual life. The extent of orgasm will depend on the nature and extent of the injury.
They should empty their bowels and bladder before sex and the woman should use a lubricant for her vagina. Women can get pregnant so they should use birth control devices if they don’t want to conceive.
Contrary to the popular myth, disabled people aren't sexless. They're as sexual as anyone else sometimes moreso because of the frustration of the challenges they have. The medical and rehabilitation industries don't help much either.
They prefer not to talk about it nor provide patients with the education or products to help them attain some sexual satisfaction after their disabilities hit.
The rules for attracting a partner are the same as for anyone else. Often disabled people pair off with other disabled people but there are plenty of disabled people who pair off with a "normal" person even after they're disabled because they've got the charisma and tenderness to attract these people.
Some disabled people I've read about say they find people who accept them as they are, are never critical of their disability and never apologetic or embarrassed about their partner when meeting new people for the first time. I suppose this is what everybody wants, a loving, supportive partner.
The rules are simple, basically the same as for nondisabled people. Don't shut yourself away or be bitter. Get out into the community and do normal things. Don't focus on finding a lover, focus on being a pleasant person and a friend first and if you're true to this, the romance will follow in time.
Try dating services, both disabled and nondisabled ones. In general, nondisabled women are more likely to pair off with disabled men than nondisabled men with disabled women but it's not laid in stone.
I've read several accounts of both types of relationships so no matter what, it's not impossible if you're a genuinely nice person.
Nondisabled people in general are uncertain as to how to socialize with a disabled person. Do you ignore the disability or initiate conversation about it?
Perhaps the best way is for the disabled person to initiate conversation about it after he or she develops some kind of rapport with the other. Ask questions like:
Would you like to know how I got this way?
Would you like to more about my disability?
Does my disability bother you?
Do you feel self-conscious about the way other people perceive me?
Do you wonder how I feel about being like this?
Don't focus on the disability but be ready to talk about it when the subject comes up either by you or them because some nice people will initiate questions in an attempt to be open minded about it.
It takes courage to go out into the world and circulate, risking rejection by many people out there but if two people find each other and fall in love, the disability really doesn't matter all that much but you'll never know if you just stick with your own kind and not try to relate with all the many nondisabled people out there.
Most doctors don’t know much about sex and disabilities and may be embarrassed to talk about it. If you need help, either find a doctor in the field of your disability who specializes in sexuality or find a general sexual counselor.
One book I read said you have to be the eternal optimist just to deal with the rejection because there's so much of it out there.
You can find positive power type books generally from #100 to #199 at the library, particularly#155 to #158, #248 (religious inspirational books) and #291, spiritual type books. Medical books go from #610-619 at the library.
I read about about a quadrapalegic man who said he had great sex with his "normal" wife.
The 1978 movie Coming Home is about a disabled Vietnam vet and the relationship he gets into with a "normal" woman. The movie Born on the Fourth of July is about the anger a wheelchair bound Vietnam vet feels.
Life for disabled people is harder than it is for the normal person so you'd think that you could use some of that tenaciousness to think up creative ways to meet somebody and have sex with them. The Dutch government pays for disabled men to have sex with prostitutes and calls it therapy.
Sex & Disability One-Liners
Disabled people are horny but it against the law to do inappropriate things like fondle a stranger woman’s breasts. Men in wheelchairs say they’re at the height of a woman’s breasts and genitals all day long.
If a guy is paralyzed and can’t feel his penis, there are other signs of arousal like erect nipples, heavier breathing, increased heartrate, etc.
A reflex erection is when the penis of a paralyzed man gets hard in response to touch even though he can’t feel it.
Some paralyzed men can get hard and cum when the penis is handled.
Paralyzed women’s vaginas excrete less lubrication so they could use a store-bought lube when engaging in sexual intercourse. Paralyzed women say they get orgasms quite easily because it’s in the head.
Disabled people use sex toys to get off.
Some disabled people retrain themselves to get a mental-emotional orgasm rather than a physical one.
Most disabled women can get pregnant. Sperm can be extracted from most men for artificial conception.
Many people with disabilities still manage to try for sex and have great sex. You have to create your own opportunities and your own newly revised sex life.
You have to make do, try new positions, new gadgets, new toys, new body parts, new techniques. Oral sex works well. If you can't have full blown sexual contact, you can always cuddle and talk gently.
The truth is that most disabled people can have sexual intercourse and sexual orgasm. Of those that can't, many report psychic type orgasms where memories from past orgasms before the disability flood their brains and they get the sensations throughout their bodies.
Other people say they enjoy the kissing, hugging, cuddling and intimacy part.
Most rehabilitation centers have someone on staff that can help you with such matters, giving you information about how to get along in your new sex life but you have to ask about it.
Simply contact the nearest rehablition center or physical medicine and rehabilitation department in any major hospital and ask for help in how to have sexual relations with your disability.
Some disabled people can have orgasms through what is called Sensory Amplification. If you’re paralyzed, you can transfer the sensual feelings from your sex organs to a part of your body that has sensations.
Think about it, focus on it, play with it and massage it and over time, stimulating that part of the body might give you pleasurabe sexual sensations.
There's a lot of info out there about having sex while disabled and where to meet other disabled people to find love.
If you can't find a partner, there are plenty of masturbation devices to give you a healthy sex life. There's even the Sybian machine which is hands free masturbation for men.
The guy who started sexualhealth.com, Mitch Tepper, who I saw on Sex TV, had a diving accident at 20 which severed his spinal cord. He's now promoting sexual ability rather than disability. He's redefining the orgasm.
Whereas the sex organ is connected to the brain via the spinal cord, in a spinal cord break, the brain gets the sexual message of arousal and sends a signal to the body as a whole so he said he feels the orgasm through his whole body especially the chest.
He was also able to conceive a baby by using a vibrator to stimulate the penis then collecting the ejaculation in a cup which was then artificially placed into his wife.
Doctors can do this too by reaching down into the penis to extract some of the sperm a male naturally produces all the time. Try typing the term "Paraplegic and Pregnancy" into search engines.
Studies on parapalegic people, especially women, found that not all sexual sensations go from the sex organs to the spinal cord to the brain and from the brain through the spinal cord to the sex organ.
Some go directly from the sex organ to the brain via the Vegas Nerve near the cervix which is at the end of the vagina and the entryway to the womb so this is why paraplegics still feel sexual sensations even though their spinal cords have been severed. Other peripheral nerves may carry some of this message too.
The most universal suggestion for couples where one has any type of illness or disability is to experiment to find what works position-wise (do it in a hot-tub, use pillows and a waterbed), time of day you feel the best, what medications to take that won't interfere with sexual virility and look at the many sexual aids and sexual furniture out there that might help you.
Mood-changing substances like booze might loosen you up enough to enjoy sex for a little while.
In general, normal people without disabilities have a mental block where they see all people with disabilities as non-sexual beings. Of course, this isn't true. They're sexual beings who happen to be disabled.
It's wrong to suggest that disabled girls, either mental or physical, get hysterectomies or other procedures like tubal ligation to avoid unwanted pregnancies and the problems of menstruation.
They still have rights and know what's going on even if you think they don't so tread lightly before you act. Get advice from the support group of the particular disability and go to siecus.org.
Masturbation is not something to be guilty of. Use sex toys such as those advertised at xandria.com or make some of your own like the girl who used her cane as a dildo.
There are fertility clinics which can extract semen out of some disabled men who can't have sex and implant it into their female lovers who want their children.
Holland has a program called SAR funded by the government where sex workers (prostitutes) go to disabled people's home to satisfy them sexually.
There are specialists around who deal with pregnancy and conception for disabled women but you have to find them by asking around at infertility clinics, urology departments and rehabilitation hospitals.
Sex will involve some compromises but if you're disabled, you've already learned to be resourceful so just continue it on into the sexual realm.
Remember, sex isn't just intercourse or orgasms. Be romantic, touch skin to skin, kiss, hug, etc. Often, disabled people develop heightened abilities in other aspects of their lives.
Continue to be wary of the dangers of STDs and take the appropriate actions when and as required.
If you can't live independently and either need an attendant or have to live in a facility, keep a middle of the road approach with the attendant.
I've read that they help some of the guys before dates by cleaning them and positioning them in the bed for their gitrlfriends but other people say when they're entertaining, they simply tell the attendant to leave for awhile.
In general, the gay community is pretty accepting of gay disabled people, probably because they understand what it's like to be a minority.
Most of the medical service organizations regarding a specific condition like the American Paralysis Assn. will have a publication or information about sex and the condition.
Britain has an Assn. to Aid the Sexual and Personal Relationships of People with a Disability/SPOD. Try to find it on a search engine.
Sex & Serious or Chronic Illness
If you have a serious illness, sex doesn’t really matter. It’s about your life. People who have a serious or chronic illness probably feel tired a lot of the time. They may be in pain, on medicines and having treatments that can affect their sex life.
They may have a surgery that changes how their body looks.
You might be worried about dying.
Learn about your illness and how to maximize healing. Try #610-619 at the library.
Plan sexual activity for the time of day when you feel the best.
Limit the amount of alcohol you drink. It’s a depressant.
Focus on non-intercourse sex like tantric sex people do. Be romantic, touch, kiss, etc. with no expectation of intercourse.
Tell your partner what you like and do not like. Listen to your partner's likes and dislikes.
Try different things and sexual positions.
Talk to your lover about it.
Use sex toys.
Talk to your doctor. If you’re a man, he can prescribe a sex pill.
Love & Disability Info
The marital vows say in sickness and health.
I wonder if anyone has ever done a study to see how many spouses bail after their spouse is diagnosed with a serious disease.

Sex Toys & Disabled People/ Disability Sex Toys
Some people say sex toys were first invented by doctors specificially for disabled people.
In 1971, Gosnell Duncan made medical-grade silicone sex toys for people in the disabled community.
If you buy a sex toy, you might have to adapt it to serve you.
There are butt plugs or the egg vibrator that you stick into an orifice.
You prop fleshlights against an immovable object.
Aneros toys are prostate massagers that work as you squeeze your pc muscles.
There’s a vibe panty you wear to vibrate the clit controlled by a remote control.
There is a vibrating cock ring.
Try different toys
Invent one if you got the inspiration. I invented one. I couldn’t find an investor for it.
I’ve examined a lot of sex toys. My final analysis is that there still are not great hands-free sex toys out there that you can turn on and off and vary the intensity with a remote control. The big sex toy at least for men doesn’t exist right now.
Go to advancedmasturbation.com and read about guys saying they bought particular sex toys but abandoned them because they didn’t do the job good enough.
Those sex swings can help put you in a position to have sex.

Chapter 2. Sex & Disability Resource Information
Sex & Disability Organizations
I heard a radio show that talked about several organizations that try to help people with disabilities with sex in two main ways:
Educate their caregivers that they are sexual and it must be addressed if it comes up in conversation.
Disabled people want sexual surrogates.
The groups were:
Equal Rights For Sexual Expression, Canada
The TLC Trust for Britain.
They mentioned a group for Australian disabled people to get sexual surrogates.
There is a group for Denmark.
