I'm a month off of Orgovyx, 5 months since 20 weeks of Proton radiation ended, and started daily Cialis about 5 days ago . I thought I would test things out even though my doc said it would take 3-6 months before T recovery. (Cialis seemed to already be generating some new responsiveness.) That's when I experienced no orgasm reached when I felt like I would. And that's what sent me to here and elsewhere where I read, in effect, that dry orgasms are the norm, so to speak, post radiation. And also that several comments suggest that's no big deal.

Well it feels like a huge deal for me especially because it would be totally unexpected. I was never told of this. So it's a shock. I went back over all the consent forms and the pretreatment info and they cover just about every unfortunate outcome but not this. The closest I could find was a reference to sterility (but to my mind that's different).

There was no cancer in my seminal vessels per the MRI and thankfully no metastasis. So the margins should have been small.

Questions: 1) Is there no hope of restored orgasms as things continue to heal and the Orgovyx effects dissipate?
2) For those here who have reconciled themselves to dry orgasms, I get that it's better than the cancerous alternative, but how did you get to acceptance? I'm a long way from that and it's very troubling.

Many thanks all.

I had dry orgasms, too, when I stopped Orgovyx but now that it's almost a year later, I ejaculate a lot of clear pre-cum which feels good. Unfortunately, I only have orgasms about half the time now when I used to have them 90% of the time. I also need 20 mg Viagra when I needed nothing before. Orgasms were pretty weak but I did pelvic floor physical therapy and that greatly improved their quality.

As for how to get to acceptance, I'm still not there. Some days I'm OK, others I'm angry or sad. That's just how it is, I assume. I guess over time I'l get used to it since it seems people can get used to just about anything.

I want to follow your progress. I'm 73, in my eighth month (of 24, supposedly) of Orgovyx, and haven't experienced a normal erection or orgasm all year. I'm cheering for your recovery!

I share your pain Brian after a year of surgery radiation and Lupron not a sign of having sex again despite Trimix and Bimix I feel nothing, whenever I see couples out in public holding hands I get very depressed knowing they can enjoy love making when they get home , I might as well be in Prison , not happy

I’ve had dry orgasms for 14yrs now perfectly normal, I’m 78 and still having good sex, really helps with the right partner
