Paralysis Support Group

Paralysis is the complete loss of muscle function for one or more muscle groups. Major causes are stroke, trauma, poliomyelitis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), botulism, spina bifida, multiple sclerosis, and Guillain-Barr syndrome. Paralysis may be localized, or generalized, or it may follow a certain pattern. For example, localized paralysis occurs in Bell's palsy...

Hi there,

My boyfriend and I have been together over a year now, and naturally we've been having sex regularly.. But, when I'm on top I end up in a lot of pain.. I have a lot of bodily pain issues (possible fibromyalgia) combined with injuries... Generally speaking I straddle him, but this causes pain in my hips, knees, ankles and even my toes.. It probably doesn't help that he's overweight so there's a bit extra to stretch around (he is trying to lose weight by working out and eating healthy). I've also tried squatting over him but it's very very tiring... We tried wheelchair sex once and that was an epic failure.... We ended up on the floor with rug burn lol we've also tried him on top but he finds it really exhausting because his arms have to support all his weight (no feeling/control from nipples down).

Does anyone have any suggestions for positions or ways to make the ones we've tried work better? Anything and everything helps! We've spend a fair bit of time on YouTube and Google trying to find suggestions to no avail lol

Hi been through all that as a paraplegic myself and know how difficult and frustrating for both partners it can be, there are quite a few websites that have great information

lay at opposite end's of the bed slide together like scissors now I'm alsoa parapegic also and this is my favorite because the man or the woman can do the work slide to about a 45 degree angle now the woman can pull the man's leg up on her cheast wile she hold the back of his knee she can pull him up in her tight and release he can hold her shoulder and pull him self up in her I call this side saddle it take's some practice but once you master this technique you should both enjoy it very much I hope this is of some help enjoy practicing I shure did now I'm a pro any the lady's shure love it also

Thanks for the tip!!

Mini update: we're now married, have been for a year and a half now.

Sex has improved a lot but that's a new position to try! We bought an Intimate Rider sex chair but haven't had much luck with it.. positioning never seems to work as well as advertised.
