Just a quick note to say how helpful, your post was for me, in particular, your honesty and hopefulness.
I’ve got BPH and low grade (3+3) prostate cancer. Had PAE done a year ago which has helped the BPH and allowed me to quit taking flowmax (which I disliked because of lack of build/explode/release feeling at orgasm and stop finasteride (which had knocked down libido and seemed to contribute to some ED challenges).
My wife wants to stop with sexual activity for now - I think a combination of my ED and her changes with age - so cautiously stepping back into some 60-year old version of masturbation. It’s different now approaching my body with open curiosity in its new responses.
‘Tis definitely a journey!

Hello- glad to know this was helpful. Some of the men I read here have similar issues and this is such a personal, private part of our lives that men just don’t talk about.
We all seem to agree that our orgasms are very important to us. My doctor knows how important this concern was for me!
Life can be so hard sometimes. Masterbation is something that can be wonderful. I know for me, I now actively have intercouse but also plenty of masturbation. My wife understands that my body has changed and that I need time to relax and explore what feels good to me, again. It’s not like I am a teenager again, but I no longer have any embarrassment, shame or guilt- if I want to masterbate, I do! And my wife appreciates that she doesn’t always have to be involved, especially when my sex drive ramps up.
Being off the meditations is also great! Best of luck to you!
