For myself, a 68 year old with two 4+4's and 9 weeks out from my RARP, I find myself a very different man.

Before you ask, yes it was nerve sparring 1.5 bundles.

Incontinence is improving but ED has not changed.

I was told that sex would be different, not how different. For me, it's been a huge blow to how I feel about myself.

I have tried Cialis and a pump and wound up with a blueish penis and a 5 minute erection. I will follow on with penile rehabilitation in hopes of recovery in 1-2 years.

Am very happy to be done with the cancer but the loss of my sexual life is profound. Life moves on and we all have our own journey.

Dmccarthy104 I myself am only 7 months post surgery. I posted Trimix injections good or bad. I would encourage you to read there are so good comments from others and I just posted an update on there. Yes sex is different I myself shed many tears over the changes but now have mostly accepted these changes. Time helps. It is not easy but we can get through this. Life is good it will get better and easier for you. My best to you
