@kjacko thanks for posting! Your post caught my attention as I am also a vet of PP! I too lost my ability to have an erect ion however, my wife and I had an active sex life up to and including the night before the surgery! It has been 3 months now. We have had romantic moments but of course my penis doesn’t function. Am I wrong to worry about how this sudden loss of sexual intimacy will affect our marriage? We have always had a monogamous relationship but now I wonder with my situation if I am being selfish? Do thoughts such as this ever come up after a RP?

@billybwbf2 I’m in a completely different situation. My wife has a “condition” which made a regular sex life impossible for 25 years. At first I was angry, but realized it wasn’t her fault, just as my BPH, PC and RP are not my fault. This really puts to the test, “ through sickness and in health” the vow we took. But we’ve made it together. Best of luck.
