How are spinal cord injury and penis erection related?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Possibly: Depending upon the level of spinal cord injury it can interrupt nerve pathways leading to erections, although most men w/sci's can have normal sexual function. Other erogenous areas may appear and be quite pleasurable.

Complicated.: Nerves are the wires for the body and the spinal cord is a large bundle of wires that give off sometimes smaller groups of wires down to single nerves (wires) for very specific actions and controls of bodily function. This should be discussed with a neurologist who needs to know the specific issues involved.
