Why Choose the IntimateRider for Sex with a Disability
You might have a few reservations about using a disability sexual aid or feel like they will provide a mechanical and unnatural experience. As with anything new, feelings of insecurity or self-consciousness are to be expected. However, we’ve designed the IntimateRider sex chair specifically with the needs of individuals with limited mobility in mind.
What is a Sex Chair?
A sex chair is an accessibility device designed to help people with mobility-limiting disabilities have a full and pleasurable sexual experience with a partner.More than just a sex chair, our IntimateRider sex chair is made of soft, durable fabric and sits low to the ground for easier wheelchair transfer. It is lightweight, stable, and can be used with or without our additional sexual positioning devices and accessories.
How Does a Sex Chair Work?
The IntimateRider contains no loud motors or complex parts. The chair is designed with precision bearings that produce a natural, fluid motion and only takes a slight movement of the upper body to produce the motion you need to have sex with your partner. Once you try the IntimateRider and learn how well it works for you and your partner, try experimenting with different positions to fully unleash your sexual intimacy.
Accessible Sex for People with Limited Mobility or Spinal Cord Injuries
The IntimateRider was designed by someone living with a spinal cord injury but can help people of various abilities enjoy sexual intimacy with their partner.
