Scotty , Take it from someone who has been mentally beating himself up for the last 5 yrs for selecting Surgery instead of SBRT.
I have a number of side effects - all that you have and then some! You cannot predict how your body is going to react to any given treatment - especially with THIS disease!
It is equally frustrating to be able to achieve orgasm, but with a limp, shortened and shriveled penis - thank you, surgery! - that’s good for nothing. I’m not sure your anorgasmia has anything at all to do with reduced testicle size - and neither does your doctor. They ALWAYS build in lower expectations to their treatments.
I am sure you were exposed either by word or in writing about ‘possible’ side effects with ADT/SBRT, but they PALE compared to surgery so no one ever thinks they’re gonna be in that poor outcome percentage.
You made the right choice at the time and NEVER LOOK BACK AT IT because it’s a wasted exercise.
My late cousin had a saying: If everyone sat around a table and put their troubles on it for all to see, in the end you would happily take your OWN back!
Just hang in and see what time brings you. And BTW, don’t bd afraid to go online and look into some of these male sex toys that are used for masturbation. Some of them vibrate and actually get warmer than the real thing. I am not embarrassed to say that even in my debilitated sexual condition, I found one that gave me orgasms that almost f****ing killed me!!
Never experienced a total body orgasm until that little toy came (sorry) my way…hang in there buddy, better times coming (oh man again?)😁

I have one of those vibrating toys and it feels great but just can't get me there. I like your late cousin's way of thinking. Thanks

After my prostatectomy 4/25/ 2019 , that was the last day I had an erection, and ejaculated semen, afterwards I tried to stroke to become somewhat erect, but only got semi erect, still flaccid, ,if I maintained the stoking which seemed like forever I could finally orgasm, but pulsed out ALOT of urine, what I'm getting at, is that a vibrator style device helps so much to be able to achieve an orgasm, but need to be aware of the strong pulsing of urine

@heavyphil Inspiration and wisdom here. But, also, Ummm....please tell...any items you recommend for a toy wish list?
