Spinal cord medicine perspectives on the sexual arousal response

The peripheral arousal response of each sex includes erection. Understanding of the mechanism and physiology of erection has increased over millennia, at times facilitated by observations of the effects of spinal cord injury (SCI). These observations have furthered our understanding of normal and impaired function.

Abstract

The peripheral arousal response of each sex includes erection. Understanding of the mechanism and physiology of erection has increased over millennia, at times facilitated by observations of the effects of spinal cord injury (SCI). These observations have furthered our understanding of normal and impaired function.
