"   Question I have been married for 18 months now. We have been using Viagra to help me maintain an erection. However, this does not enable me to ejaculate.  We have heard about a product called Ferticare made by the company Muticept based in Denmark.  It is designed for spinal cord injured men and vibrates enabling ejaculation and possible pregnancy.  We are very interested in this but a little concerned, as I have been disabled from birth.  Please can you advise us? We would love to have a child.    Answer David writes:  As you say, Viagra helps men to get an erection \u2013 but it doesn&amp;#039;t help them climax.  There are indeed ways of obtaining sperm, although the success rate is very far from 100 per cent. I have spoken to one of the UK&amp;#039;s leading fertility clinics about your case and they recommend that you proceed as follows:   When you are erect, try penis stimulation with a good, powerful vibrator - continuing for an hour or so if necessary. If you can get an orgasm in this way, then your ejaculate could be used for artificial insemination. Your local family planning clinic would help you do this.   If you have no luck with the above, then an alternative would be to try rectal electro-ejaculation \u2013 which means having an electrical probe put into your rectum in order to stimulate a climax. Unfortunately, this has to be done under general anaesthetic and is expensive.    Finally, it is possible for experts to put a needle into your scrotum and &amp;#039;tap off&amp;#039; some sperm to use in fertilising an ovum. This too is expensive. Your GP can probably tell you a little more about these methods.  Christine adds:  You are probably already in touch with The Spinal Injuries Association, but if you&amp;#039;re not, they have excellent booklets available on all matters sexual.  Also, they are undoubtedly right up to date with the latest methods of conception where couples are finding it difficult.
