Hi @john57, I strongly encourage you to start a new discussion about lack of sex drive. It is a common side effect with treatment of prostate cancer. Several members have talked about in various discussions in the group and it would be great to bring everyone into one thread on the topic. Here's how to start a new discussion:

1. Go to the Prostate Cancer group homepage https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/prostate-cancer/
2. Click START A DISCUSSION
3. Enter a title. Be specific, for example: "Prostate Cancer and Sex: Let's talk about the changes" or something in your own words.
4. Write your message.
5. Click CREATE DISCUSSION.
