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.

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:
“Dissent is the native activity of the scientist, and it has got him into a good deal of trouble in the last years. But if that is cut off, what is left will not be a scientist. And I doubt whether it will be a man.”
—Jacob Bronowski (1908–1974)
