Clinical Autonomic Neurophysiology and the Male Sexual Response: An Overview

The male sexual response is a coordinated series of interactions between the somatic and the autonomic nervous systems. Measurement of the autonomically mediated portions of the sexual reflexes is of great clinical interest, particularly in relation to erection. Advances in clinical electrodiagnostics now allow for consistent recording of evoked and spontaneous intrapenile electrical activity. However, before broad and widespread use of these techniques is possible, more investigations are needed. Yang CC, and Jiang X.
