Core Tip	Despite considerable advances in our understating of male sexual function over the past two decades, crucial central mechanisms and peripheral pathways of male sexual response are still largely unknown. Neural responses to sexual stimulation precede vascular, smooth muscle, and endothelial cell reactions and play leading role in initiating fundamental pathways of male sexual arousal, erection, orgasm and ejaculation. These pathways involve a dedicated subset of central mechanisms, spinal reflexes, peripheral nerves, and neurotransmission systems that operate at different levels individually and in conjugation. Further research into the neurophysiology of sexual function may help better management of neurogenic sexual dysfunction in men.
