A member asked:
How could a person with muscular dystrophy of duchenne have sex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not to worry: People with weakness like muscular dystrophy can position themselves for sexual activity with a willing partner. Penile erection is a vascular response, not a muscle. People with disabilities and those that use wheelchairs still have feelings and develop relationships. Performance depends on strength, health and communication.
