[Scirehab-UW] New SCI Forum Video: Conversations from the Bedroom: Sex after Spinal Cord Injury

Dear Northwest Regional Spinal Cord Injury System Subscribers,   The SCI Forum presentation “Conversations from the Bedroom: Sex after Spinal Cord Injury,” which took place on May 10, 2011 at the University of Washington Medical Center, is now available for viewing on our website at http://sci.washington.edu/info/forums/reports/sex_sci_2011.asp.   What do you really want to know about sex after spinal cord injury? Most newly injured people have concerns about what their sex lives will be like: will they ever have sex again (or for the first time)? Although sex may change after SCI, most people still want to develop satisfying intimate relationships. How do they navigate sexuality with an SCI? In this forum, real people with spinal cord injuries talk about their real sexual experiences since injury. Two men with tetraplegia (quadriplegia) and one woman with paraplegia discussed the good, the bad, and the funny. A rehab physician answered questions related to medical issues and sexual activity.   Please give us your feedback after watching the video. Just click the "two-minute survey" link on the forum page, or go to https://catalysttools.washington.edu/webq/survey/csalzman/26614.   We now have 30 videos on a variety of SCI-related topics that you can watch online at http://sci.washington.edu/info/forums/forum_videos.asp.   *     *     *     *     *     *     *     *     *     *     *     * Cynthia Salzman, MHA Public Information Specialist Northwest Regional Spinal Cord Injury System Department of Rehabilitation Medicine University of Washington, Box 356490, Seattle, WA 98195 Phone: 206-685-3999; Fax: 206-685-3244 csalzman@uw.edu
