Depends on injury: Spinal cord injury patients can have very satisfying sex lives. Orgasm and ejaculation are possible depending on level of injury. Seek out a sexual health specialist in your area for consultation.

Assumptions .....: You seem to have a variety of assumptions about this injury and what a paraplegic person actually feels. While some nerve activity is cancelled out in the typical injury, others involving sex are governed by another system. Many do quite well in this area.
