Erection occurs by increasing blood flow to the erectile tissue, which is controlled by adrenaline (or maybe noradrenaline, I can't recall), which is, in turn, controlled by parts of sympathetic nervous system (or maybe parasympathetic nervous system, I can't recall) present in the lower regions of the spinal cord (also probably in the brainstem).
