Question
Hello I am a 41 year old lady with a spinal cord injury since 2001. Recently I have been feeling the urge to want to make love. I have met a young man that I am interested in but am afraid to go the next step for the simply reason that I wear a Foley catheter and don't know how I can.

Answer
Dear Sue,

FYI, The urethra and the vagina are separate openings. So you can tape the catheter tube to your thigh or abdomen to keep it out of the way. And I suggest you use some type of water based lubrication; like KY Jelly.

Sorry for the late response, I hope this helps, sincerely Ken
