Penile erection is caused by a change of the activity of efferent autonomic pathways to the
erectile tissues and of somatic pathways to the perineal striated muscles. The spinal cord …

It has long been assumed that the brainstem exerts a tonic descending inhibitory influence
on spinal sexual reflexes, but the source of this inhibition is unknown. Sexual responses …
