Sex Comfort for Chronic Pain Sufferers, MS, Fibromyalgia and other Physical Disability

Millions of people around the world suffer from life-threatening illnesses, acquire disabilities or were born with them. Although more people are added daily due to tragic accidents, violence, or diseases, society does not want to know about them, and many live in a terribly challenging physical and emotional roller coaster of pain, treatment, coping and surviving.

Usually, the most difficult adjustment involves sexual activities.

Disabled sex is taboo.

Disabled people who want a sexual relationship are up against the perception that they don’t have or shouldn’t have sex. It is normally not discussed out of embarrassment or ignorance of caregivers. So, most people affected suffer in silence with real needs for sexual and intimate relationships like everyone else!

So, whilst society appears anxious to ignore, deny or stereotype their sexuality, awareness does grow and changes to offer real help is emerging. (I just had to add this beautiful photo by Belinda Mason-Lovering of Gold-medal Paralympian Gerry Hewson posing with his pregnant wife, Louise.)

Well-being therapy is based in large part on six tenets: mastery of the environment, personal growth, and purpose in life, autonomy, self-acceptance and positive relationships.

In this particular section, I want to focus on the practical side of ‘mastery of the environment’ and that is physical comfort during sexual intimacy, plus actually having an opportunity to experiment with new positions which do not cause a great deal of strain to maintain a low level of physical exertion.

Some people, such as those suffering from Fibromyalgia, or MS, have regular chronic pain, body stiffness and fatigue, or have painful joints and experience pain all the time. You need to find a way to reduce the pain in order to enjoy sex more, and use sex positions where you are not putting strain on the painful parts of your body.

With physical disabilities, such as from limb amputation or hip replacements, there often is not much strength or mobility to get into any enjoyable sexual positions, so, alleviating pain or pressure point is of utmost importance. Being disabled doesn’t mean you can’t have a good sex life, but you may need to make a few adjustments to make things as pleasurable as possible.

The Liberator© range with their various firm and supportive cushion shapes, which can be securely assembled like personal Lego© blocks, is a real milestone solution to offer comfort, and help expand options for kissing, cuddling and lovemaking.

Liberator Shapes© are mainstream, non-pornographic, luxurious lovemaking props.

Take the Wedge©, for example, which permits the sufferer to lie comfortably on their back with a lifted bottom and allows their partner free movement on their knees. Thus despite, for example, back injury, knee pain, and arthritis flares it is possible to have delightful encounters with significantly reduced aches or pains.

Here are a few more examples how you could creatively arrange the various shapes to fit your specific needs for comfort and enjoyment:



The ‘Stage’ is narrow enough to be easily straddled and wide enough to provide a secure elevation for massages.

Urinary leakage difficulties can stem from a variety of conditions including urological problems, gynaecological difficulties, spinal cord injuries/disorders and Multiple Sclerosis. However, individuals with these conditions can and do have active sex lives and find ways to adapt during lovemaking.

The Liberator covers are made out of microfiber, designed to withstand the wear and tear of bodily fluids. If you feel sensitive about the urine on the covers, I would recommend washing them after each use.
