Verso

My name is Verso and was diagnosed with prostate cancer in October 2018 and had a prostate removal in Jan 2019. Since then I have had no erection and I now feel less of a man and frustrated since I can no longer satisfy my wife who is only 40 years old and 14 years younger than me. This is so stressing!!!

Much can be done for men in our situation.

You can:

1. Stimulate your wife to orgasm without intercourse

2. Use a Vaccuum erection device

3. Use an elastic "ring" to make erection possible

4. Obtain books and pamphlets about Sex after treatment with Prostate Cancer

5. Attend a Cancer Support Group

6. If possible, contact me by private e-mail, or phone (I am not sure what this platform allows).

I am a 15 year Prostate Cancer Survivor, and a trained Cancer Advocate for a Cancer Hospital.
