Abstract
Sexuality and procreation for all, including disabled individuals, are fundamental and universal human rights and are frequent requests from these patients but several difficulties need to be solved. For example, a spinal cord lesion includes psychological (modifications of the self-image, self-esteem and sexual confidence) and physiological (deficits of motor function, sensation, sexual desire, erection, orgasm, ejaculation, fertility ...) consequences. Thanks to a pluridisciplinary approach, it is possible to assist disabled individuals to achieve a better affective and sexual life and to succeed in procreation.
