Question:
I am trying to find out a way to get ahold of an instructional video on masterbation for a Male, mentally challenged person who is 35. He bounces on the floor to get the sensation, but cannot finish the "job". He is very frustrated and we are looking for a way to show him how to do it without showing him how with another person. Please help him

Thank you for your question!! I am glad to hear that someone has this concern for a client who is exhibiting this behaviour. I would like to ask some questions about your client.
First, is the behaviour you describe something new or is it a long standing problem? Have you checked with the client's doctor and/or pharmacist to find out if there is a medical and/or pharmaceutical reason for him not being able to "finish." It is always wise to start at this point if you are noticing that someone has difficulty with sexual pleasure -- particularly if the difficulty is an apparent change from what is typical.
Second, is his "bouncing" something he is doing in an appropriate place? If you are going to support him with this behaviour, it is very important that he have a sense of "privacy" and which places in his home are appropriate for sexual pleasure!
Last, there is a video that has been made specifically for men with developmental disability to teach them about masturbation. It is called "Hand Made Love" and is available by contacting Diverse City Press at
www.diverse-city.com
I hope you are able to support your client in a way that lets him get what he needs in a way that supports the dignity of appropriate sexual expression!!Reviewed by Sexual Health Editorial Team
