Raewyn Buchanan, sexual health nurse specializing in spinal cord injuries, shares how people can rediscover intimacy after traumatic injury and redefine their relationships with themselves and others.

• Sexual function after spinal cord injury varies widely depending on injury location and severity
• The brain can "remap" to experience pleasure in different areas through neuroplasticity
• Taking focus off genital function opens new pathways to sexual pleasure and connection
• Society tends to desexualize people with disabilities, creating additional psychological barriers
• Communication is essential for exploring new forms of intimacy and challenging assumptions
• Medical interventions like medications, vacuum devices, and implants can help manage erectile dysfunction
• Maintaining relationship roles separate from caregiving helps preserve intimate connections
• Expanding our definition of sex beyond penetration benefits everyone, not just those with disabilities
• Intimacy is about connection, not just physical function
