Sexual Activity
The mechanics of sex may be daunting, but a number of sex guides written by doctors and therapists with expertise in disability issues are in print. Sex guides depicting various sexual positions can be helpful for couples who need to address mobility impairments. Sexual activity beyond penetration and intercourse may be necessary. Sensitivity to touch can increase in someone with paralysis from a spinal injury, above the lesion location. Oral sex is an alternative where penetration is not possible or not wanted. Sex toys may be used as assistive devices as well, for example, using a vibrator if hand mobility is impaired.

Famous quotes containing the word activity:
“The animal is one with its life activity. It does not distinguish the activity from itself. It is its activity. But man makes his life activity itself an object of his will and consciousness. He has a conscious life activity. It is not a determination with which he is completely identified.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
