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:
“In communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticize after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, shepherd or critic.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
