A Question re: Prostate Massage Post-RT

[Handdrummer777]

As I occasionally still mourn the apparentl permanent loss of ejaculate, I wonder does anyone here tried prostate massage post-RT? I asked my urologist about it and she recommended against it (but she may have been thinking just about manual massage). She was concerned that bleeding from the radiation-scarred prostate could create oriblems.

Earlier my oncologist signed off on using a prostate vibrator. Has anyone tried either approach as a way of stimulating an irradiated prostate to produce a little cum? Just a few drops would be awesome. Again, not holding my breath on that.

I have no knowledge of a prostate vibrator but did go to rehab at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in NYC for pelvic rehab. Part of the rehab was a manual rectal massage. It did not result in any ejaculation though that was not their intent. I did not have RT. I had surgery for the removal of the prostate. Not sure if this is helpful but wanted to reply in case.

I've used a prostate massager post-RT. It didn't produce any cum, but it felt good. So what if it dislodges some scar tissue? You'll see a few drops of blood, which will heal.

The Restore program provides anal dilators (butt plugs) so there must be something to anal stimulation.

RESTORE dilators I think are to help stretching the tissues for bottoms. Certainly no harm. I my case of RO all the semen-producing organs are gone. In the case of RT, those organs are cooked and scarred and not likely to produce. And YEAH I miss cum.

[Handdrummer777]

Cooked! Not likely to produce. Fake cum, anyone?

[Tall_Allen]

Some guys I know still are able to produce cum after SBRT. I think it's all about where any scar tissue forms. My prostate/seminal vesicles still produce some semen, but I pee it out afterwards (retrograde ejaculation) - I can see it in the bowl. So there is obstruction where they empty down into the urethra. If there were a thin enough endoscope that could punch through the scar tissue covering the outlet where the seminal vesicle drains into the urethra, it might be possible to restore function.

[Handdrummer777]

Hmmm, that's pretty creative thinking! I had 6 of 12 core samples positive, so most likely my prostate is stricken all over. Still...

[Tall_Allen in reply to Handdrummer777]

I had 9 of 17 cores positive, I think. But the only issue is whether there is scar tissue at the opening. I may consult with a gay urologist at UCLA who might be sympathetic. If I do, I'll let you know.

[Handdrummer777]

I think the orgasms are getting incrementally stronger! No downside there.

[Handdrummer777]

Ok thx Tall Allen. Yeah, even recovering a few drops would be a big thing. While I'm beating 10-1 odds to stay sexually functional (libido mentally propped up to function without T, and reliable erections) during ADT using my Loop invention, beating 10-1 odds of recovering semen is probably not in the cards. But I'll be interested in what the urologist tells you.

[JimVanHorn]

I think I am lucky to have an orgasm, with nothing to clean up! I can taste my friend's semen if I forget how it tastes.

[Handdrummer777]

There is that! I'm still bummed, but the orgasms are getting better and better.

[Handdrummer777]

It would be orders of magnitude more disastrous to lose the orgasmic ability. I think I would be completely devastated. Fortunately, that would be an extremely rare occurrence. Of course it can happen with spinal cord injuries.
