A review of the effect of traumatic brain injury on the human sexual response.
A human sexual response format was used to describe possible sexual dysfunctions after TBI. Additional material was also included to qualify the information drawn from the above format. A number of possible conclusions were drawn, indicating that the causes and effects of sexual functioning after TBI are very confusing and that the literature does not clarify this confusion. One cannot accurately differentiate between primary and secondary sexual problems and, therefore, cannot evaluate the contribution of each problem to the presented sexual dysfunction.
