Sexual pleasure is still possible...

Sexual pleasure is still possible even in people with complete
spinal cord injury without sensation or movement. It is
important to note that self-reported incidence of orgasm in
people with SCI is consistently around 50%. Reports of orgasm
have not been strongly associated with level or completeness
of the SCI. Many people report an area of hyper-sensitivity
above the level of injury that when stimulated results in sexual
arousal and sometimes orgasm. Other people report having
orgasm as the result of stimulation of the ears, neck, breasts,
or through fantasy. Orgasm in people with SCI usually requires
a much longer period of stimulation than before injury. It is
also important to note that the majority of people with SCI
report sexual satisfaction even if they do not experience
orgasm. This article appears in the following topics:
