Your question is a good one "how to make closeness pleasurable but not penis-focused?" Do you find that intimacy or any overatures that you make to initiate intimacy only serve to remind your partner of what he no longer can do like he once did? Are you able to talk openly about the desire for intimacy that doesn't need to include penetration?
Thank you. Of course I will love my wife forever. We plan to spend our after life together. That said its been 4 1/2 yrs now since my surgery. No indication of the cancer. My wife has been sick and on hospice. But I think about life going forward. I have not had another sexual partner so the future is unclear to me. I am not much help to your question. Is this a heterosexual relationship? Thank you for the information on the pump. seems complicated.
