Question:
If I'm totally frank about what works for me, it involves asking my partner to do things for me that are normally performed by an attendant. I feel I'm imposing.

Sharing sexual pleasure is a mutual decision. A partner who is interested in having sex with you is likely to be willing to help make it feasible. What feels like an imposition to you may not feel so to your partner in the context of a consensual sexual encounter. For example, if digital stimulation is performed by an attendant for the purpose of evacuating the bowel, then it is work. But if you tell your partner that anal stimulation really gets you hot, and your eager-to-please partner obliges, then where is the imposition? Ask your partner if you're imposing. Mitch Tepper
