“The IntimateRider has opened doors to new physical ability for me and allows me to do the movement. It has been fun trying new things.” Brian, T4 para
For individuals navigating intimacy and sex with a spinal cord injury, discussing concerns about sexual mobility can sometimes be difficult. Since the severity of spinal cord injuries varies, the level of mobility is different based on the individual. Typically, areas below the damage are affected while areas above the damage continue to function. The overall impact on motor skills, reflexes, sensation, and sexual mobility depends on the specific injury and individual.
Sexual intimacy is an important part of our relationships and contributes to overall health, so you might have concerns or anxiety about having sex after a spinal cord injury. These feelings are completely normal. The first step in building intimacy after a spinal injury is communicating often and openly with your partner, physical therapist, and physician. Together, you can all find a way to navigate quadriplegic sex. Solutions can include trying out new sex positions for paralyzed sex, specific exercises to build strength, or sexual mobility aids for quadriplegic sex.
