Andy- You have heard the same thing that I was told by more than one urologist: orgasms don't have much connection with the ED nerve bundles near the prostate; orgasms are primarily a brain event. However, many scientific papers refer to large percentages of prostatectomy patients that have altered ...

Well, that's not very encouraging! I'm right on the edge of impossibility of orgasm ever since surgery. I'm essentially rock bottom already, so I have been hoping for improvement with time as the nerves recover. Every time the thought hits me that this might be as good as it ever gets, I have panic ...

Andy- Yes they saved the nerves on both sides. I know it takes 18 to 24 months for the nerves to "wake up" so natural erections are possible again. I'm wondering if part of the orgasm problems can also resolve, or at least improve, in that same time period. Have you found that orgasms are ...

DesertDweller- Thank you for the suggestions! I will try to incorporate them into my routine. I am still in the experimentation phase with no-erection very elusive orgasms, the torture pump, and even injections despite having many years of prior experience with needles. Everything is totally differe...

BumpInTheRoad:

BumpInTheRoad: Were your elusive orgasms "pretty intense" a few months after surgery, or is that something that improved over time? (I really wish mine were even noticable when they rarely happen. I try to stay optimistic that I can reach a better place.) How does the current 3 year post-o...

Palace01 You are lucky! I was totally not prepared for the near total inability to have an orgasm. It is even worse when I realize that there is really no treatment for this, and that I may never improve. I know it is not as important as curing the cancer, but I never had any symptoms from the cance...

I am looking for help from men who have had problems with orgasm after a prostatectomy, and specifically whether things have improved with time. I am 71, and had a nerve-sparing DaVinci prostatectomy on 7/30/14 in Denver, CO. (Gleason 3+4, negative margins, several extraprostatic extensions, 6 week ...
