Total inability to have an orgasm post radiation

While I did not receive what you did, before high dose proton radiation, I received a total of three shots, two of Firmagon and one of Eligard. That was early last year, I successfully got through treatment and am doing well. Just after I Rand the Bell, I attended a webinar from the Prostate Cancer Foundation regarding hormone therapy and recovery. It was stated that the shots last longer than they state and men like me it could take 18 months to clear. I was concerned about sexual function, hence me getting radiation and like you all “was” working but no orgasm, a dry orgasm. Well, as of now 15 months later, my numbers are good, slowly recovering and, while I’m not getting a full load, I am getting semen out, just the clear fluid. So, hold on, hormone shots are a bitch and you just have await recovery. It’s not easy but it should come back. And I only received those 3 shots before, none since. Hang in Brother, you got this and just relax and keep up hope and trying.

Thanks for responding. My problem is that I have no orgasm AT ALL. I'm totally prepared for a dry one or a retrograde one. What scares me is that everything I see online says that men can still have orgasms after prostate cancer but they will either be dry or they'll orgasm without an erection. Neither of these apply to me. I've tried the pump, a vibrator, my good old right hand, etc. and nothing. The doctor just said "yeah, that happens sometimes" which was neither helpful nor encouraging. The nurse said to wait until I was done with ADT and then see what happens before moving on to trying medical solutions like Oxytocin.
