Question:
Getting a Leg Up
|
Answer:
by Elizabeth McNeff: (05/16/2004)
I have multiple sclerosis and use a walker. I cannot lift my legs over or behind my husband when in the missionary position,
and this limits my pleasure. How can I accommodate my husband and increase our pleasure?
I recommend discussing the issue with your husband as he may have valid suggestions. Try lifting your arms to his sides and
hooking your legs over each arm. If you have the flexibility, support your legs on your husband's shoulders. You can put a
pillow or folded blanket under your butt for stability and deeper penetration. If you have not already done so, why not ask
him to help you position your legs?
Consider other positions. Try lying on your side, torso slightly bent, with your husband behind you. You can position your legs
as comfort permits. Another viable option is to lie on your stomach with a pillow under you; this facilitates back entry and is
stimulating to the front wall of the vagina.
I suggest reading Sexual Options for the Quadriplegic by Cole and Mooney, or The Sensuous Wheeler by Barry Rabin (both
available in the New Mobility bookstore).
