This article presents a research review on the psychological and social aspects related with the sexuality of persons with spinal cord injury. The relevance that the impact of injury has on people and its environment, in general, and on sexuality sphere in particular, becomes an area of great scientific and social interest. This is explained by the constant growth in the prevalence and in the radical bio-psycho-social changes that the spinal cord injury involves. So, people must cope in their sexual life with changes as much in the physical as in the emotional areas as well as in social relationships. With this purpose, the available bibliography is revised trying to focus in i) the size of publications where the topic appears in, ii) the thematic areas object of study, iii) the publications methodology, to reach finally iv) the conclusions of our review.
