It's OK to re-post replies you previously made. I want this to be comprehensive. I think it will be great to have a full community response to this...I'll pin the post as a resource for us all. Thanks!
There are a lot of feeling attached to ups and downs of dealing with the results of the treatment of prostate ca. The downs begin with the inability to get an erection. Feeling unable to perform sexually, feeling like I'll never be able to enjoy sex again. Feeling like I'll be able to be in a satisfying relationship. No real upside that I can see at this point. It's been six months since the radiation and the seed implantation.
I'm in the same boat after 9 week following gull RRP, no erections, still dribbling, still using a pad. Don't see any prospects for improvement over the short term while the long term appears no better. No response with 50mg generic Viagra, no response with porn and losing interest rapidly...
Try Giddy or Xialla -- brand new ED devices that may help a lot. Good luck.
If you still have some interest, aother device -- the Elator -- makes penetrative sex work without an erection.
