Exoskeletons for Wheelchair Users

Dave — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 18:07:35 +0000

2010 will be a landmark year for wheelchair users. By the end of this year there will be three manufacturers with exoskeleton suits for wheelchair users on the market. Exoskeleton suits were once thought of as science fiction, but now they are science fact. In the 70’s Hollywood brought us images of a Six Million Dollar Man, who was severely disabled but through technology was not only able to walk again, but also gained super human-like powers. While bulky, slow and a long way from super human, the new exoskeleton suits will allow people with paralysis and other mobility related disabilities to walk again.

While these three manufacturers are now launching their exoskeleton suits regionally, it will not be long before all of them have their products available worldwide. But do not expect to see too many around for several years. The high costs of exoskeleton suits, over $100,000 each, will initially limit the sale of exoskeleton suits to the very wealthy and to rehabilitation centers. But with three manufacturers entering the market simultaneously and with several others under development it will not be long before prices drop and exoskeleton suits for wheelchair users become more widely available.

How Intimate Can We Be?

Scott — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 21:04:25 +0000

How intimate can we be? That is the question. A Kinsey Institute study claims on average adult men and women in relationships have sex at least 1-2 times per week. Some more and less than others but people are having sex none the less. This would mean that the question “How intimate can we be” would be asked on average between 52 and 104 times per year. We all know that variety is a spice of life and finding new and improved methods can make an enjoyable moment even more enjoyable.

This question becomes more pertinent when either partner lives with a physical condition that may get in the way of a enjoyable sexual experience. With the IntimateRider the question changes from “Can we be intimate?” to “How can we be intimate?” It is a big difference to go from “I’m not sure if we can do this” to “Yeah, we can do this 15 different ways.” That is the difference the IntiatmeRider can make to your sex life. Positions and movements that you thought were not even possible before are achievable with the use of the InitmateRider.

Having the IntimateRider means that the women does not need to be “on top” every time now. In fact she has the freedom to move to a few different positions while her male partner has the capabilities to thrust and move so that he can provide the motion in the ocean. The IntiamteRider will provide support and assist in movement so most any sexual position can be enjoyed again.

How Intimate can we be? The answer is as much and as many ways as you want to be with the IntimateRider.

Who uses the IntimateRider?

Scott — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 21:36:48 +0000

You may ask yourself, who is it that uses the IntimateRider to have sex? The short answer is everyone but the more detailed answer is the couple that needs a little boost to improve sexual function due to a physical condition. A majority of people who enjoy what the IntimateRider brings into their bedroom are guys with a spinal cord injury, both paras and quads. These guys now have a way to put more motion in the ocean so to speak which has also been a popular decision for their able-bodied partners. Finding new positions that does not always require the girl to be on top has been well sought after for many years but not addressed until now.

Many times we get calls or emails from the able-bodied female partner that are looking for a way to have a better sex life without making their partner feel uncomfortable. We always refer them to the partners page that offers tips on how to talk with your partner about your sexual concerns. Once the IntimateRider is discussed, both partners discover that is well worth the investment.

Men and women with a wide range of physical challenges have found success with the IntimateRider and they then tell their friends and so on and so on…
