Abstract
A human sexual response format was used to describe possible sexual dysfunc tions after TBI. Additional material was also included to qualify the infor mation drawn from the above format. A number of possible conclusions were d rawn, indicating that the causes and effects of sexual functioning after TB I are very confusing and that the literature does not clarify this confusio n. One cannot accurately differentiate between primary and secondary sexual problems and, therefore, cannot evaluate the contribution of each problem to the presented sexual dysfunction.
