Can a man who is permanently in a wheelchair be sexually active?
Outdoor Adventure im Tiroler Oberland, Austria

I have a crush on a guy in one of my classes who is in a wheelchair, permanently I am assuming. I don't want to sound selfish, but I don't know if I could be in a long term relationship with someone I can't be sexually active with. Does anyone know about this?


ahhhh, i know wut you mean.

Is EA Sports Wii Active Wheelchair compatible?

I tried to do the Wii Fit, but it didn't work out because the balance board is required. I'm in a wheelchair (as the question implies). I've though about getting the Wii Active, but I don't want to spend all that money and then it not work for me. So would Wii Active be a good games for someone in a wheelchair.

PS. I have minimal use of my legs


Gym cardio does not require balance board because it is mainly boxing and you can chose to use a balance board but personally never needed in that one, it is really good without it and you can chose all the workouts so you could probably skip the ones like the jumping rope and running.

My fitness coach as well does not use the balance board but it requires you to move around though it has a series of different workouts and it asks you what equipment you want to use. So you could chose an upper body workout with weights for instance.

But in the end I don't think any of them would be really suitable. I have them all and will be writing more reviews.

What is a good dog for somebody in a wheelchair?
(Untitled)

She is pretty active for being in the chair and in shape since she didn't get an electric wheelchair. She wants a dog that can get up on her lap but is independent enough to stay home for 6 hours a day. She does want a playful dog that will fetch or do other activities that she can do.

What are some good breeds for us to look at?

ideas wanted for birthday party for child in wheelchair?
(Untitled)

I have an extremely active 4 yr old who is in a wheelchair with a broken leg. Has anyone got any ideas for a birthday party that he will enjoy as well as the other kids?


How about a trip to the zoo with 2 or 3 close friends. It would be an easy place for everyone to have an outing and a wheelchair can be rolled there easily. All kids that age love seeing the animals and with only a few other children can be loaded in the family car and easily supervised. An ice chest in the car can contain drinks, sandwhiches and cupcakes. Zoo tee shirts make fun party favors.
