HI
Thank for choosing HCM, of course he can do it, if he wants, the sex drive is directly related with the hypothalamus of the human being, and the second area is spinal cord from where the impulses runs towards the penis for erection purpose
, and in case of cerebral stroke ( If my guess is right, because you did not mentioned it clearly what stroke) these areas remain intact, motivate him, convenience him, make him understand, that he can do it, make him sure, bring his confidence back it is not heard,,, have good day
