I’m with you. Had surgery when I was 59. Unfortunately there was nerve involved and into the bladder margins. I greatly enjoyed sex with my wife and when I was able tried my best but no sensation anymore. Like you I considered the injection too weird and unnatural. We decided to rest on our laurels and have our fond memories of the crazy times. I’m now 69 had 9 years cancer free but as it happens I became metastatic in 2024. On adt and in remission so my attempts at being a manly man have given way to staying alive for my family and doing the best I can to continue normality. Still cut my firewood, take my dog out to the forest and keep my house in order. It’s a strange disease. For me no outward symptoms except those caused by treatment. Mainly balance and strength issues. I’ve kept my diagnosis from my kids and friends as they wouldn’t understand that I’m not really changed except the fact that the other shoe could drop anytime and then I may be in real trouble. At that point I will spill the beans. Why worry them or have my friends view me differently. Be strong in your own way. Just keep keeping on. What else can we do
