A wet-mateable electrical connection and an associated method are provided for use, for example, within an adverse environment such as underwater. A wet-mateable electrical connection may include a female connector body comprising at least one receptacle. A female contact is disposed within the at least one receptacle. A male connector body having at least one axially directed male contact pin having a forward end portion releasably engages with the female contact body within the receptacle, thus forming a fully-mated engagement. In the fully-mated engagement, the electrical contacts are in contact with water/fluid. Thus, the electrical connection is established even in the presence of water/fluid.
