Re: [QUAD-L] Warning.....Sexual.
Hi Jim, I was lucky to have a PT that advised me not to listen to the ''Experts'' and to listen to my inner-self in all areas. She was so right. One of my first insights was not to tie my sexuality to my erections. I was getting erections with a brush of a nurse's hand, or a position change, but my sexuality was buried deeper in my mind, and it would take more concentration to learn how to reach it. My wife and I started working on the mental side of our sexuality before I left rehab. We did a lot of talking listening to each other early on, and started using what we learned for some erotic game playing at rehab. By not worring as much about my erections at that point, we were able to find ways to give, and to get, enough sexual pleasure to each other to encourage us on with our learning SCI Sex. Today I talk, listen, fiddle around, flirt, play, and work around women. I've learned I can say as much to a lady with my eyes, as with an erection, as it is amazing how many with ''look back''! Stay strong. With Love, CtrlAltDel aka Dave C4/5 Complete - 31 Years Post Texas, USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have heard so much about mental orgasms and what pleasure they bring but I am one that cannot achieve this. After my injury back in 2000 my wife had nothing to do with me sexually. The only erection that I achieve is once in a while in the morning. Since I'm a SCI virgin I do not know if I can achieve an erection being sexually stimulated or not, I hardly doubt it. I have had erotic dreams and have even gone to the Internet to surf porn to see if I would be able to achieve an erection or even have an orgasm but so far nothing. My ex-wife was never really very sexual and I guess she could be even labeled as frigid so, I was left high and dry on too many occasion is to even count. Maybe if our sex life was more active while I was able-bodied maybe she would have taken an interest after my injury. I still get sexually frustrated at times but nothing like I was after my injury so, I guess I can say sex is not that big of a deal anymore. Although it would be nice to try.

Funny how 40 years of SCI, 35 years of happy marriage, three kids and foleys can dampen the 'urge' so it mostly goes away. Intimacy gives way to stability and security, lust turns into gratitude for what lengthy cohabitation brings, and the spark is kept alive by total strangers that cast that special look and sometimes add a wink. it's very nice to you can still turn a head but have no obligation to prove anything. the great part is she knows i look, i know she knows and she knows i know she knows - and we're both cool with it. she knows that just because i'm on a diet, it's ok if i look at the menu. no matter where i get my appetite, i always come home for dinner.

I don't think that too many members on the list are brave enough to respond to this one. Thus the tiny thread. While microphones or things like that are more important! LOL I know the topic of sex has been brought up before but it does not go anywhere usually. So either members are not having sex or are not with a partner. :-) Some folks will say that sex plays an important role in a relationship... especially for the one who is not getting any! Others will say that sex is most definitely, and I mean most definitely, NOT a great big thing in a good relationship. Actually, it is a little bit of both. It is not that both partners do not WANT OR ENJOY sex... because it can be very exciting and joyful. And it should be! You are also right that the brain is the most powerful sex organ. This is even more true for women. Women have no idea and (cannot have any idea) what orgasm for a man (ejaculation) feels like and vice versa. Obviously for women it is the clitoris for the sensation part of it and the brain for the mega part of it. I remember one of my most powerful orgasms after my injury (I had just turned 15 when my injury occurred so nothing happened before that) occurred when my partner did something around my ear, neck and my collarbone area that set me through the ceiling and was definitely an orgasm if I ever had one!!! So that is one example. For women... those are extremely, extremely, extremely sensitive areas and probably just as much as the clitoris. But the actual intercourse part of it is a combination of so many things. The noises, the whispers, the words, the motions, etc. etc. etc. all help one to cum. Feeling sexy for women plays a huge part as well. For example... having a négligée or a bra slid so very slowly down the shoulders is really really erotic! Or pressing up and around the breasts at the same time or during something else also adds to the beginning of a climax. I could go on and on and on. But don't anyone fool themselves by thinking that sex is not important to some degree to their partner. There IS a reason for masturbation! And nobody should feel threatened because their partner does that. So... all the rest of you scaredy-cats... bring it on!

This dream felt s real that when I woke up I felt just (well, pretty darn close) like I had a real orgasm, tingling all over and my insides were too. You know that feeling after you cum and you're so sensitive that you just can't take another touch. That! I think I was moaning just before I woke up also, because I opened my eyes thinking 'oh shit did my wife just hear me. I know they say your brain is the most powerful sex organ but damn, I wasn't expecting it to be like that. My question is have any of you ever experience this and if so how can you recreate it?

That proves it... they get lazy and should open their books every now and then or more often! * ** Everyone I talked to agree that a very very very high percentage of people are hurt or killed in hospitals or otherwise because of medical negligence or malpractice.

[QUAD-L] affording things
Hi, I think some people have no choice but to get on medicaid and other services. When this happens you learn to work the system. You keep one checking account with about 1000.00 in it. Then you put the rest in someone elses name or you see a lawyer and draw up a special needs trust. Noone tells the truth out there. ron
