swimmers, and not hardy enough to penetrate the egg. Because of their reduced motility, the sperm need a little high-tech help. The recent development of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), which involves the direct injection of a single mature sperm into an oocyte (egg), can often lead to conception. There are lots of success stories but high-tech, assisted fertility is not a slam-dunk. It can be emotionally draining and also quite expensive. Get the facts and treatment options from a fertility specialist experienced in issues of paralysis. Some couples grappling with infertility have successfully utilized donor sperm (from a sperm bank) to impregnate the woman. Couples may want to explore the very rewarding options available to adopt children. Sex after stroke: Heart disease, stroke or surgery doesn't mean that a satisfying sex life must end. After the first phase of recovery is over, people find that the same forms of lovemaking they enjoyed before are still rewarding. It is pure myth that resuming sex often causes a heart attack, stroke or sudden death. Still, fears about performance can greatly reduce sexual interest and capacity. After recovery, stroke survivors may feel depressed. This is normal, and in 85 percent of the cases it goes away within three months. To be sure, a man can continue or initiate a romantic and intimate relationship with a partner after a paralyzing disease or injury, but it’s important to discuss physical issues and feelings and to feel free to explore new ways to express intimacy. Whatever seems satisfying and pleasurable is OK as long as both partners agree. While it's been said that the largest sex organ is the brain, it's not always easy to make major adjustments in one's sexual persona. Professional counseling can help in working through feelings of fear or anxiety over establishing or continuing a healthy relationship after paralysis. Safe sex: The risk of sexually transmitted disease (STD, including gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes and the HIV virus) is the same after paralysis as it was before. Prevent sexually transmitted diseases by using a condom with a spermicidal gel. --- On Thu, 5/6/10, jeff bernier jeffsmokeea...@yahoo.com wrote: From: jeff bernier jeffsmokeea...@yahoo.com Subject: [TMIC] just wondering To: msersl...@yahoogroups.com, tmic-list@eskimo.com Date: Thursday, May 6, 2010, 5:12 PM im sure some on the list may find this offensive and to you i appologise,but i think it is a legitimate question,can somone with paraplegia still be able to achieve an erection or be able to experience ejaculation,again im not trying to offened anyone,but im looking for answers.

RE: [TMIC] just wondering
I believe that there is a talk by one of the Doctors at one of the symposia that is posted on the website that you could view on that subject. If it is not a video presentation, it will be a power point presentation. Please check the website at www.myelitis.org and click on symposiums. I do remember the doctors talking about that a few times. And yes, there are meds available and other methods available.

Hi Jeff, I'm not sure, but I think that if the impulses to the pudendal nerve are intact, that it is possible. Grace
Re: [TMIC] just wondering
Jeff, This issue is addressed in some of the areas on the Transverse Myelitis Association Forum. From some of the information there I know that some have been able to use medications ie: Viagara etc. There is a man named Rick Hansen here in Canada. He is known as The Man in Motion. He is a paraplegic and about 25 years or so ago he wheelchaired around the world. I know that he also married and had a family. So I'm sure that there is help for men with these questions and issues. Have you discussed these questions with your doctor?

Re: [TMIC] just wondering
According to my booklet from the Reed foundation, it is well within the realm of possibility. It seems to depend on the level and type/span of your injury. You should contact the Reed foundation and get that booklet-- it was incredibly helpful to me while i was in the nursing home being mistreated. And I shared it with the other oppressed prisoners-- a couple of guys who told me it was VERY helpful. --
