ED after prostatectomy? Any first hand experiences overcoming it?

You will probably be fine. I think these sites are more the men/women sharing issues. I have two friends at the gym both with prostate removal and neither have issues with ED. I think my outcome could have been different with stimulation. At this point, its not that big of a deal. But my point was its been almost 5 years and I had my first full erection and it took almost 2 years to get a partial. Not sure if things will work in a moment of passion but it does take awhile.

That’s some positive news I needed to hear! Thanks for posting that.
It's sad that we guys are often embarrassed to talk about something that’s an essential part of our lives and being a man. I’ve decided to be open about the matter hoping that my doing so will help someone else with their struggles.
My sexual health urologist rates erections on a scale of 0 to 10 with 6 being adequate for intercourse and 10 qualifying you for a job in the adult film industry. Before surgery I was a 7-8. With an injection I’m a 6 now. Without an injection I’m a 3 on a good day which is better than nothing but not all that useful. My goal is to be a 6 or more without an injection once the nerves heal and I’m done with ADT.
In the meantime I’m going to do my to use it however I can and not lose it!
Good luck to you and thanks for sharing.
