Abstract
The ability to conceive characterizes the onset of puberty. Sexuality is part of this. We can consider sexuality from several angles, in which the concept of fertility and fecundity give way to psychological problems related in neurological injuries. Whatever their nature, all neurological injuries engender a pathology of rupture and loss. In both time and space something is broken, which will definitively destroy one or more lives. We will present, in the following paper, some clinical examples such as spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis and cranial traumas.
