    An accident leaves this woman in a wheelchair, and a positive AIDs test threatens this couple's romance.  How do they maintain intimacy with no sex?  February 4th, 1992.

Bonnie Parker's story comes first.  The loss of sex in her relationship stems from a faulty penile implant for her husband, his penis eventually rotted and fell off.  What used to be a healthy relationship has gone downhill, but Bonnie has stood by her man throughout.  The children have suffered as the parents have grown further apart.

Jay McKinney was severely electrocuted and loss the use of his legs, and his sex life.  His doctor is on stage and explains the options for a man like Jay.  His genitalia effectively has gangrene and will need to amputated, but there are reconstruction options.  They won't ever be as good as the original but it is an option, at least.  He's tried it out and it works good now even though was a little big at first.

Ellen Stohl was paralyzed from the neck down and is an incomplete quadropalegic.  Although much of the upper body has returned since her car accident, all limbs are affected.  At first she bought the line and considered painting with her teeth or working with computers, but as the accident happened when she was a virgin -- she wasn't going to let society take away her gender because of a disability.

Michelle Wilson describes her HIV diagnosis.  She called her husband Steve immediately to tell him, terrified and with visions of imminent death.

    Female bodybuilders are the focus as we hear from Lenda Murray, Debbie Kruck, Kim, Sharon Bruneau, Sha-Ri Pendleton, Debbie Muggli abd Nikki Fuller.  July, 1995.

The women strike poses and discuss their vision for bodybuilding.  Sha-Ri talks about power-lifting and how she got into American Gladiators.  Is it true that's the best butt in the country?  Not every women who works out will look like these ladies, and the audience gives them a lot of credit.
What about the future?  Nikki Fuller says she'll be body building until at least 74, or older.  No, the muscle won't turn to flab, it's all in the diet.

Bill Dobbins photographer and author of 'The Women' speaks about being in the right place at the right time to be photographing female bodybuilders.  Back to Nikki who doesn't take part in arm wrestling as it may mess up the muscles she needs for body building.  Lou Ferrigno actor, author, bodybuilder is in the audience and takes a seat on stage.  He describes the difficulty with female competitors and the IFBB or International Federation of Body Building spawning new competitions like Ms. Fitness and female competitions.  It's more than just aerobics to get this sort of muscle mass.  Ellen is going to be 50 in June, and steps up on the stage to show off her still tight muscles.

Locker room talk is reviewed, and the difference between gyms.  They have kind of become a social area instead of a workout area.  How much money do they make in these competitions?  The athletes have speaking engagements and others ways to earn.

An audience member has interesting question, what about the effect of too much muscle on feminine qualities?  It's different for every woman, in fact the gender-related qualities are down to the individual.  Drugs are also covered later in the segment, but really these women rely on extreme exercise and training day in, day out.

Is it all asthetic?  An audience member relates this extreme training to anaroexia, nothing is ever good enough for these girls.  

Towards the end of the segment everyone shows off their favorite excerise, as we see weight lifting and how she met her boyfriend in the gym.  Lunges are shown and Nikki Fuller says she didn't get a speeding ticket because the officer was allowed to touch her bicep.

Dr. Ann de Wees Allen cousels bodybuilders on their health and says the focus of these women isn't on family life, it's on their bodybuilding.  The two have limited overlap.  Lou has a daughter Shauna and she says hello to the audience as the show winds to a close.
