Sexuality & sexual functioning after a Spinal Cord Injury

Your sexuality is what guides your natural desire to bond with others through love, affection, and intimacy. Loss of muscle movement, sense of touch, and sexual reflexes often occur after a spinal cord injury (SCI). How this loss affects arousal, orgasm, and fertility depends on your level of injury and whether your injury is complete or incomplete. The return of sexual function and feeling (sensation) varies from one person to another and you can learn more about the options available for your particular situation HERE.
