Can a dry orgasm after prostatectomy still be pleasurable?

Posted by buffalo1 @buffalo1, Dec 30, 2024

Hi all,
I had my prostate removed and was told that my orgasm would be dry due to the removal of the seminal vesicles. Is it still pleasurable to have sex without that feeling of fullness when you are about to orgasm?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Prostate Cancer Support Group.

I turned 81 yesterday and had a most wonderful gift with my wife as another Birthday gift. Dry orgasms for me are no different in feel than when I was having normal ejaculations. The only difference is, there's no mess to clean up afterwards. A pure pleasure to my wife and I. Just be happy that you're able to have the wonderful experience. Had radical prostatectomy in 2008 and it's been that way since as far as feeling goes.

I found this to be harder to get used to psychologically than physically. This may sound strange, but I deal with it by using a water-based lube that is made to look exactly like c*m. My brain still knows it's not "real" but at least things look like they did before. It also looks real after intercourse and is a nice surprise for a partner that's used to no longer having visual "evidence."

I was still early in learning the new me. Pelvic floor muscle control solved that one.

Yes, it's possible. The first one blew my hair off just like it did when I was 12. A couple of years later it is more like a micro-orgasm. Just make sure you don't shoot pee. Yep, been there done that one too lol.

Yes, I have experienced the "shoot pee'. The medical establishment calls it climaturia. This was never discussed with me as a potential "complication" of RP. Have you done or know any way to reduce the chance/amount?

Tried pills....and yes no interest.
Thanks for the reply.

I had my surgery in 2015 and no erections other than an occasional morning. That's it.

PB, Sorry to hear that. Guessing you explored options. Mine is pretty much wasted as the interest isn't really there. Live your best life and best wishes.

Thanks jc76! Yes, I'm a business writer by trade but also a blogger and do amateur stand-up comedy. I *HATE* performing but a lot of times I will write jokes for other comics when I know I'm not the right person for the job. For example, I did a routine about being a new mom which, of course, I had to give to a woman because it would make no sense for me to do it.

I had radiation but have the same side effect and, after I finished with ADT and started getting horny, it was disconcerting to say the least and initially made me hesitant to even bother. But as my T keeps returning it feels like I'm going through a "second puberty" (body hair coming back, I have to shave again, get erections at inappropriate times, having sex dreams at night and, of course, being horny almost every day). At first I was asked if I "faked it" because there was nothing to show but that was my partner's insecurity and we've moved past it. Pelvic floor exercises will REALLY help improve orgasms. I've been doing them for a couple months now and notice a definite change for the better.
