Question:
What is a good source for researching sexual positions for lovemaking between two disabled individuals--say two quads
who function as high paras? I've read Enabling Romance and Sexual Options for the Quadriplegic (graphic!) but only
managed to pick up one or two positions. Any more?

You have already consulted two of the very few resources on positioning for people with mobility impairments. Even in these
books, the majority of positions depict only one partner with a disability. There are two videos you might want to view for
additional information. Sexuality Reborn: Sexuality Following Spinal Cord Injury, by Craig J. Alexander and Marca Sipski,
depicts many creative positions for couples with one disabled partner, and also some for two disabled partners. One segment
demonstrates mutual masturbation as an option. This video contains sexually explicit scenes. To order, call 800/435-8866.
Sex and Back Pain, by Lauren Andrew Hebert, is not intended specifically for people with paralysis, but does an excellent job
of showing spooning, side-lying and cross-lying positions for intercourse. The scenes are sensitively acted out by a man and
woman in leotards, and a book version is available. To order, call 800/762-7720 (U.S.) or 207/695-3354 (elsewhere).
Both videos demonstrate the use of pillows, chairs and other furniture for supports. Positioning for sexual activities is a
matter of problem solving based on both partners' physical function and the props and supports at hand.
