Is it possible for a cadaver to have an erection ?

I think I saw a scene from "six feet under " . One of the characters mentioned this . Is it true?
Answers:
No, I have had a workshop involving cadavers. The cadaver cannot get an erection, because they have no reactions or reflexes, nor any blood(it has been replaceed with preservative chemicals). However, a cadaver will become generally stiff, so when one tries to move a body part, it does not feel limp. Someone might joke about a connection between this and an erection, however it is not possible.
Hi. The blood pressure would be too low. Unless he had an implant, I suppose.
No.
It requires blood pressure %26 control of certain "valves" to maintain an erection.
If you're dead, you'll have neither pre-requisite.
yes due to chemical break down and the way cells and tissue react to this
i have heard it is possible since the body went through rigor.
I know that nails and more rarely hair keep growing a little after the person is dead. However, erection is going a bit more complex, and is a less automated process.
No and I have handled my share. They do sigh and twitch, though.
No, it is not possible. Sometimes when men are executed (by hanging) they experience a violent erection, due to the sudden stimulation of the reflex arc in the spinal column. But I doubt that they feel anything.
No. That would require blood pressure. Blood pressure requires a pumping heart. Dead people are recognized by their unbeating heart.
I don't know if they can or can't, but there is a story about the gangster John Dillinger had one when he died. He was more famous for that than being a gangster. Supposedly there are pictures to prove it.
