1 Year Post-RARP (Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy)

I, too, am one year post RARP (Mayo Jax). Non-detectable PSA. Very minor stress incontinence (heavy/strenuous exertion results in small squirt or dribble). Have resumed all activities. My issue seems rather unique. Perfectly sufficient erections, but no orgasm. Initially was prescribed daily cialis, with no effect. Added viagra on demand, no effect. A bit annoying/frustrating. Get aroused, feel a sensation in base of penis, but just can't get over the hump. Even ordered up some Rugiet. Urologist just scratching his head, saying he doesn't know what else to tell me. Referred me to a sexual health specialist. Will see how that goes. As for now, trying not to get discouraged; moving forward with the "practice makes perfect" attitude. I can be honest and say I never imagined I would miss the orgasm this much. Said the 65 y/o in otherwise great health. On a positive note, the golf game has never been better. I attribute that to better focus, as I'm no longer thinking about sex with every other thought. LOL!

Congrats on the year with good PSA and at least only light stress leaks, similar to mine it sounds. I hope you and the doc can eventually figure out what works with the orgasms or your body works the kinks out by itself. As many have said, it’s a unique journey for each of us, even though there are similarities. I am the opposite. Still there, but not a full erection. And way too much effort to get it there.

You definitely have the right approach. Enjoy the days and the golf!
