@onestepmore I’ve heard others say the same thing, that “the tactile touch of a human is better than the robotic…”. However, after hundreds (thousands?) of procedures, they say that experience makes up for it.
I found this presentation helpful. It’s a 2023 presentation out of Stanford University titled “Penile Rehab: Optimizing Recovery of Erectile Function after Prostate Cancer Treatment” —> https://youtu.be/aRp1NXjPGLE
(They first talk about how things are supposed to work “down there,” what goes wrong as a result of treatments, and then a variety of remedies.)
