The unspoken topic: the importance of masturbation after SCI

When you have a new spinal cord injury, one of the questions that doesn’t get asked about is whether masturbation can be achieved and if so, how it would feel like. It’s an important part of sexuality with a disability that could be done discreetly and as a first step to knowing how your body will work and respond to sexual stimulation. And in a newly-released video by the folks at Sustain Our Abilities, an online resource for people living with disabilities to receive & share information about successful living, this topic is addressed in a brief 20-minute video you can view HERE. It is part of their interactive program focusing on sexuality and SCI.

This 40-episode series features Dr. Marcalee Alexander along with Dr. Rafe Biggs, Deborah Davis, Hector DelValle, and Ligia Andrade Zuniga. While the focus of the series is primarily about these disabilities, the information presented is useful to persons with disability, their partners, health care professionals and the general public. You can also find many others on the subject of sexuality and disability on their channel HERE.
