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.

Thanks! I did have nerve sparing surgery without incontinence post op so hopefully erections will improve.

You don’t want to wait nine months or a year. It really doesn’t take long to get over that surgery, you will be ready to think about it in a month or so. If you are on ADT, however, you may not have a desire to do anything. Doesn’t mean you can’t try, it can still work to climax even if you can’t get an erection.

It’s been 11 years since I’ve seen a device. The one I had worked, but wasn’t too great. Check with your insurance they may cover one.

There was a discussion about devices in here a couple of days ago. Somebody may have saved that information or may come in and supply it.

How long is too long to get the nerves going again?
Do you recommend any particular type or model or device?
I know nothing about them except Austin Power's Swedish-made penis enlarger.

Yes, it can be very pleasurable. The first few times may not be so intense but it gets better.

Your biggest problem may be that you can’t get an erection. Did you have nerve sparing surgery?

After surgery it’s almost always difficult to get an erection. They have penis pumps to help you get an erection, They have shots like bimix and Trimix that can work, And some doctors start people on Cialis or Viagra Soon after their surgery. You do not want to wait very long before you start doing things to assisted with getting an erection.
