Официальное название
Erogenous Zones in Adult Males After Complete Spinal Cord Injury
Обзор
A complete spinal cord injury (SCI) in men is characterized by the total loss of motor skills and sensations below the injury. The loss of penile sensation, the erogenous zone primarily involved in sexual response, is involved in sexual dysfunction, impacting sexual pleasure and quality of life. The management of genito-sexual dysfunction is a priority for paraplegic patients, ahead of bladder-sphincter and motor functions. For tetraplegic patients, the restoration of genito-sexual functions is their second priority after the upper limb motor skills recovery (Anderson, 2004)(Anderson et al., 2007). Medical assistance is currently available to i) restore erectile function allowing penetrative sexual intercourse, ii) enable sperm collection for reproductive purposes, iii) assisted reproductive techniques which allowing most often these patients to achieve their fatherhood goals (Giuliano et al., 2019)(Chochina et al., 2016)(Lombardi et al., 2015). Nevertheless, the assessment and management of the loss of genital sensations have been poorly studied, alike sexual pleasure and satisfaction in SCI patients (Philpott et al., 2006). Erogenous zones are regions of the body that elicit sexual pleasure and trigger or enhance sexual arousal when appropriately stimulated. The discovery of other forms of physical intimacy that move away from the traditional scripts of phallo-centric male sexuality (Earle et al., 2020)(Giurleo et al., 2022)(Ostrander, 2009)(Burns et al., 2008) could improve sexual pleasure. The stimulation of hypersensitive regions in the skin areas corresponding to the lesion level and above has the potential to represent one of the strategies to compensate the lack of sensitivity of the genital-sexual organs (Hohmann, 1972)(Bach-y-Rita, 1999)(Elliott, 2002)(Anderson et al., 2007)(Lopez et al., 2008)(Alexander \& Marson, 2018). But again, these data are scares and limited to few testimonials. The aim of the present research program is to identify, define and characterize erogenous zones in men with complete SCI in the absence of sensitivity of the genitals. The study design is a qualitative observational study, and the consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research (COREQ) will be followed (Tong et al., 2007). A minimum of fourteen semi-structured interviews with men with a complete SCI followed in a neuro-urology department will be conducted with the recruitment stopped once data saturation is achieved.
