Actually it MAY be possible in some circumstances. It would depend on where the lesion is on the spinal cord and which nerve tracts are still intact.

Yes. Why? You still have blood flow throughout the body. The only thing that causes an erection is a signal from the brain to increase blood flow to the penis.

The neurologic specifics are important. In complete quadriplegia, the answer's usually "no," but in some circumstances, priapism can occur.
