Sex After Surgery: What can I expect?

@jim1961 - This hit the nail on the head for me. I am 56 years old (diagnosed at 54) and now 14 months post RARP. My surgery was partially nerve-sparing. ED has been a huge factor, both psychologically and emotionally since the surgery. I immediately started on 5mg of Cialis after the surgery and continue it daily. I was recently prescribed an additional 20mg as needed for sex, but it has only had minimal results. The pump really did nothing for me. With the 20mg of Cialis I can get an erection about 90% of pre-surgery. I have climacturia every now and again with masturbation, but not every time. During masturbation, I can get an orgasm but it takes a lot of extra effort. The lack of ejaculation has had a bigger negative emotional effect on both me and my wife to the point I often wish I never had the RAPR. Other than the ED, I maintain a very healthy and normal life again, but sex is no longer a priority in my life.

@kmc1372 Try using a penis ring, and we use fake ejaculation made from greek vanilla yogurt and a small amount of coffee mate and heat it up in hot water.

Thanks for the reply. It does sound like a very similar experience. I got a shipment of Trimix, and the first dose resulted in a trip to the ER! I think the dosage is now worked out, but the whole episode did not help with the overall journey.
