I never implied that having no nerves had a solution for ED, I know that without nerves there's no non-surgical recovery, I was only countering the claim that all radical prostatectomies end in ED and incontinence.

No, survivor, I get what you are saying: all the bad stuff is NOT a given.
And although I applaud your rigorous approach to pelvic floor training before surgery, if your nerves were damaged beyond recovery or your cancer invaded into the bladder neck you would be in pads right now.
But all the stars aligned for you, your surgeon was excellent and you also got lucky. I don’t mean that in a negative way to take away from your efforts and discipline. But in life, luck is that elusive thing we all want and seldom get. You got it!
