Useful for absolutely everyone, regardless of age, gender, or sexual orientation, the book addresses a wide range of disabilities — from chronic fatigue, back pain, and asthma to spinal cord injury, hearing and visual impairment, multiple sclerosis, and more. Expertly written by a medical doctor, a sex educator, and a disability activist, The Ultimate Guide provides readers with encouragement, support, and all the information they need to create a sex life that works for them. The authors cover all aspects of sex and disability, including building a positive sexual self-image; positions to minimize stress and maximize pleasure; dealing with fatigue or pain during sex; finding partners and talking with partners about sex and disability; adapting sex toys; and more.

Format:Paperback
I think this is an amazing resource to really get people thinking about themselves as sexual beings. It encompasses a wide range of sexual options and also gives good information about sex-related topics (such as communication). I especially appreciate that this book isn't about a specific disability or illness, and it recognizes the ways in which disabilities can be enabling during sex as well. I definatly reccomend this book to people with disabilities and without disabilities-- I guarentee you'll learn something new.

A breath of fresh air for the physically challenged/disabled. Yes, romance is possible. Yes, physical intimacy is possible - and not solely the province of the perfect. This book should be in the library of any professional care/health provider who works with the physically disabled/challenged.

A good resource with many gaps
This is a great resource in a broad sense. I do understand that to cover all of the various sexuality issues within disability would require several books. Read more

good book
I think this is a great book. It presents sex from the point of view that it's possible, even with some limitations. I think it is very useful to everyone, able-bodied or not!
