This is only barely related to anything, but my brother is paralyzed from the armpits down from an auto accident. I was his caretaker after his accident for the next 2 years...
So yeah, paralyzed from the armpits down means, yeah, paralyzed down there.
It was so heartbreaking to go through the loss of his sex life along with him during that time after his acccident. I listened and loved him and did all I could...but of course, there is just nothing anyone can say that can make up for the loss of your ability to feel your penis or have an erection.
However, that was 15 years ago, and he has since then found "ways" of having a sex life....hurray for him.
Anyway - to all the people in life who struggle with physical disabilities, I have so much respect (I am sure that my brother's accident affected me in this way forever).
At one point when he was in intesive care, he had tubes down his throat and could not speak. He said later that being mute was the worst part of this whole ordeal, and that it would be much worse to be mute than to be paralyzed...because even though he can't feel his d*ck, he can at least tell his peeps that he loves them.
(he was on morphine when he said this though...LOL!)
