Nurse bought artificial vagina for disabled teenager

A community nurse told how she helped ease the suffering of a sexually frustrated disabled teenager by buying him an artificial vagina.

Stephanie Courts made the revelation at a Royal College of Nursing conference in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.

She obtained the vibrating sex aid after the 15-year-old patient, who was severely disabled, became distressed at not being able to satisfy his sexual urges.
Ms Courts said the case highlighted a serious issue, the lack of national guidelines for dealing with the sexual needs of physically disabled adolescents.
