Today’s Strib features an article about disability and sexuality, while also highlighting a local entrepreneur with a disability who has developed a device that facilitates sex for people with physical impairments. I haven’t had a chance to check out the particulars of this invention, but if it’s similar to other devices I’ve seen, I assume it provides support for maintaining certain sexual positions. Speaking from experience, I can attest that a little creative engineering is required to achieve a happy ending for both parties. And sometimes the positions that work aren’t necessarily the most natural for the human body to maintain. It’s good to see more devices like this going to market. See, capitalism does work.
Naturally, I’m curious to try out some of these inventions myself. The disability community needs responsible, impartial reviews of products like this and who better than a semi-respected blogger like me to provide such a service. But that will have to wait until I find a willing, er, collaborator.
