Spinal cord injury: what is the effect on sexual response?
In this paper the sexual response cycle and neurologic pathways involved in sexual functioning are reviewed. This is used as a foundation to review the spinal cord injury literature and examine what is primarily self-reported regarding sexual function with varying types of spinal cord injury. A recommendation is made for more thorough, objective studies through which hypotheses can be tested and a foundation built for prognostication of how sexual functioning will be altered after varying types of SCI.
