Bobbie, I can assure you that much of that has changed... for the better. I
don't know if the Doctors are better trained, but I know the nurses
are...... I do know several women thank got married and had children after
SCI. One is Renee Bondi, in California (Last Dance, But Not The Last Song)

Ed,
I think this is outstanding that you are starting up this topic for
you guys ... and your doing it respectfully.
I've always been curious as to how you guys manage your equipment, both
bodily and mechanical.
When I was first in rehab in 1973, I asked my male doctor if I could still
get pregnant and what about sex? He was extremely uncomfortable of me
asking him such a question, his answer was "You can't get pregnant or have a
bowel movement" And ran out the door. That was the end of my sex education
in rehab. Bobbie

I have used the Ferticare Personal for many years now. It is based on
similar technology. It has worked very well for me.
I am C 5 – 6 complete, with basically no traditional tactile sensation
down below. Erections are only touch triggered and short lasting. This
industrial grade vibrator change all of that. It's a regular part of my solo
play and occasionally during sex with my wife. I can regularly get orgasm and
cum (they are not necessarily the same thing). The vibrator's settings,
they adjust both the rate and intensity of vibration, can be very intense and
not appropriate or pleasurable with areas with full sensation. Its website
makes it seem very clinical and focused on fertility assistance. It can
definitely help out. Two of our four sons had this helping hand. However, we
used it entirely at home, never had any doctors office training, and made
it just one part of our sex play, not the central aspect of our hopes to
conceive.
Another thing that doesn't get fully explained is that it can be, or at
least was for me, a way to explore just what my body can do. Being able to
test different things in different ways and doing it often enough to notice
subtle effects and reactions, helped me realize I can do a lot more sexually
than I was led to believe in rehab. I can sense something some things
below my injury line and there are autonomic reactions above my injury line
that are pleasurable, and the rush from a full on climax is mind blowing.
My device is getting old and doesn't seem to be quite as effective lately.
It might be the vibrator and it might be me age wise, coming up on 50, or
due to medications, or that I am 30 years post injury, etc. So I think it
is time for me to try something new. Before I get another Ferticare
Personal, which is definitely very expensive, I might try a new product they
have
but I am very interested in the one you came across. thanks for sharing
about it. if anybody is interested I can share how that's going, and I'd be
interested in knowing what other cool techniques people here have had.
All of us spend a lot of time and creativity figuring out how to manage
the logistics and equipment and complications and attendant care etc. when
quads want to live full and rewarding lives.I think the fun things in life,
like recreation and travel and sex, need the same kind of tenacious and
innovative Quad power. What toys work? What positions? What porn? Let's have
fun Finding out.

Daryll Gywnn was a c5. It depends on the injury, every one is different.
That's just one method they use when you want to have a child with that
special someone. Theres no way to know if it will work unless you try it. I
never found that person to go to the trouble to try such a thing. If you have
someone that's going to stay with you and love it would be worth it.

A couple of years ago someone posted an interesting link about a vibrator
that can be used with spinal cord injured patients. I waited a few years
and looked it up, but couldn't find any material which substantiated that it
worked effectively in helping a male achieve orgasm.
Well, I happened to come across this today and it appeared to take the
technology of that rather pricey vibrator and marketed it for everyone else.
The other one you needed a prescription in order to get it and it cost
around 400 bucks. This one's around 100 and anyone can buy it.
Just wondering if anyone has tried this.
