I always have so many questions about Coma, but this one really bothers me for some reason. I want to know if somebody tries to stroke a person’s flaccid penis when they are in coma, will they get erection?
If yes, why?
Edit: I am currently studying human reproduction grade 8, and this question came into my mind, as one of my friend’s uncle is in coma. Stuff just pops in your head, amazing right?
In: Biology
Yes.
>Measurements and results: Sleep-related erection episodes (SREe’s) were noted in all nine patients, ranging in number from 1-7/24 hr (average 4.4+2.4) and lasting 6 to 50 min (average 22.0+5.7 min). The number of REM periods (REMp’s) ranged from 4-11 (average 6.6+2.5) and lasted for 1.0 to 44.0 min (average 16.0+6.6 min).
