VIBRATORY STIMULATION FOR TREATMENT OF ANEJACULATION IN QUADRIPLEGIC MEN

Sexual dysfunction and infertility are common problems following spina l cord injury. Most men with complete spinal cord lesions do not ejacu late during coitus. Vibratory stimulation applied to the frenulum of t he penis in six quadriplegic male subjects produced ejaculates for int rauterine inseminations. Pregnancies occurred in five of the six partn ers. Vibratory stimulation is a relatively safe and effective means to produce an ejaculation in men with quadriplegia.
