The depression mentioned on this thread is real. 65 yr old RARP Oct 25. Recovered nicely, non-detectable thus far and have resumed all normal activities except for one. I do have mild/minor stress incontinence that is basically a leak/dribble under significant physical exertion, but not a big deal. Sex, however... Mind boggling. I get satisfactory erections capable of penetration, but cannot achieve orgasm. Currently prescribed daily use cialis and on demand viagra. They don't seem to have any effect, as erections were never a problem. Then prescribed gabergoline which is supposed to stimulate dopamine receptors in the brain. No effect. We do keep trying. Very frustrating. Sadly, spouse seems to think it's her fault (or she is failing). Literature would suggest it is mental and we just need to get over the hump. So yes, frustrating if not depressing. I keep having to remind myself to focus on other aspects of my life. Best to you and yours, keep up the support!

Nothing works for me anymore as I have zero libido and head splitting headaches.
