My partner has recently started to have a number of reflex erections. He is a T10 para. Thus, he is unable to have an erection via erotic desire.
I love to see him hard again; we are thinking of trying intercourse. Its been almost six years. We are nervous. These erections last quite awhile, are quite stiff, and somewhat painful for my boyfriend.

I know its a long shot. Do any of you have experience with this type of thing? I know there are a bunch of resourses on the web. What I really need is an first hand opinion. What is it like for a man to make love and not ejaculate? I don't want to do anything uncomfortable for my boyfriend.
Your thoughts?????

I am not familiar with this type of situation but I have read that erections originate in the lower spinal cord and are turned off by brain activity. If the signal from the brain is interupted its possible to have very hard and sustained erections that can become painful. I don't know if stimulating his penis will give him pleasure but if he is unable to ejaculate its possible he could have a great case of blue balls. I would say experiment and find out.....after all sex is for fun.
