Increasingly the issues of disabled people's rights to a healthy sex life have been finding their way up the agenda. So it was only a matter of time before someone started marketing sex aids at that market. Sports equipment provider Spokz has done just that.They claim to be the first in the country to market sex aids to disabled people and their website encourages discussion of the topic in their forums. Although if you want the take from a social work professional's point for view you could look at this thread on our forums.
If you have disabled clients it's worth a quick look, because you might expect, given the range of disabilities there are, for it to be filled with complex and technical stuff, but actually it's pretty straightforward. A few chairs a harness or two and a range of vibrating bits and pieces.
Some things such as wedge shaped cushions they recommend getting straight from OT or social services.
So next time a client asks for a new one of those you might want to avoid asking what happened to wear out the last one.
