Got a Penis Pump and it does absolutely NOTHING to revive Mr Weenie. Uro said..CUT BOTH SIDES nerves. It's like cutting the wiring down there so when other sensitive parts of the body are "Played With" the messages do not get to the main source. Guess no Hard-ons better than Cancer...anybody have any luck pumping ? Is'nt there a DANGER also ? Uro's PA said only a small section of ureatha came out with prostate..bull I say..I wrote Uro a letter askng him to tell me in writing just what they did...well, ayway PSA is still undetectable and there ae many other ways to have sex..Howie > Got a Penis Pump and it does absolutely NOTHING to revive Mr Weenie.

Guess no Hard-ons better than > Cancer...anybody have any luck pumping ? The pump doesn't depend on the erectile nerves. It creates a partial vacuum, and that draws the blood into the penis. A tension ring at the base keeps it there. The most common reason men have trouble with a pump is not maintaining the vacuum. You need to use the lubricant and if necessary shave some public hair. I used a pump for something like 18 months and it worked reasonably well. > Is'nt there a DANGER also ? There can be if you keep pumping after you have produced a reasonable erection. But generally speaking it is one of the safest methods available. Once you get the knack, you can produce a pretty impressive erection, and after a long time without one, it helps your ego to do so. But you should try to avoid that. Remember, all you need is an erections sufficient for penetration. > Uro's PA said only a small section of ureatha came out with > prostate..bull I say..I wrote Uro a letter askng him to tell me in > writing just what they did...well, ayway PSA is still undetectable and > there ae many other ways to have sex..Howie You can also produce an erection with injections. Again it take some experimentation and at first there may be some discomfort afterwards, but many men find that way entirely satisfactory. If worse comes to worst, there are implants, which again seem quite satisfactory to men that have them. Howie, Have you tried injections? For me, injection = erection perfection. If you use small needles, they can be close to painless. I have used them over 200 times. Like most things, it gets much easier with practice. Steve U Thanks Steve..Dr also said needles..BUT my problem is..what do I do with it after it's hard ? Wife shut down a few year ago..(The Change)..can she give me a hand job that will amount to anything ? She use to before the surgery and it was ok... In my case the erection did not really make a difference. The feeling down there is just not the same. There has been some return of the sensation in that area when I am aroused, but it is nothing like before. Not sure if that has to do with nerves or what, but erect or not what I call the "pleasurable feeling" is greatly diminished. May as well be rubbing my elbow. :((( Thanks Steve..Dr also said needles..BUT my problem is..what do I do with it after it's hard ?

Do it twice a day for a few weeks before you give up on waking something up. Also it helps if you engage your brain in the right mode. I think in the beginning it is harder to do that as you are still so busy with learning the mechanics of pumping. Bev > Got a Penis Pump and it does absolutely NOTHING to revive Mr Weenie.

I went the hormone, rad route about a year ago. With a 25 mg Vitamin-V, I have an "adequate" erection. Without an assist from Vitamin-V, I can sometimes manage a so-so erection. Sometimes it seems adequate. Sometimes there's stirring but it's soft. Sometimes, even when it's soft, I can orgasm and produce about a half teaspoon of clear emission. What puzzles me is that I used to be a, ah, longer session type. That is, 10, 15 minutes of vigorous activity. Now it's more like a couple minutes, a hundred strokes or so, and all the action is over. My libido isn't anything like it used to be either. I asked my doc to run a Testosterone blood test and I came in at 299, at the extreme low end of the "normal" range. My experience is exactly the opposite on the session time. After the surgery is takes well over an hour of stimulation to finally get to the orgasm. That is one reason I do not bother very often. In the first few months the orgasm was a whisper. That did get better over time. Viagra, etc., does nothing for me. I can get an erection, a lot shorter than before, with Caverject and trimix, but it is painful. No way to have enjoyable intercourse with that. > I have a related observation, question. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > I asked my doc to run a Testosterone blood test and I came in at > 299, at the extreme low end of the "normal" range. You probably answered your own question, low testosterone. We have found that we have had to adjust our lovemaking because, like you, the timing is off. It takes more to get it going and then it doesn't last very long. But it is getting better. So look for improvement with time.

So look for improvement with time. > Bev (wife to husband with EBRT and seeds) I didn't have a testosterone measurement before or during this last year. I did have one about 20 years ago. I don't remember the numbers but the doc said I was "low-average". Nubie Alert - Have a Testosterone assay done before the treatment and maybe during it, especially if they're going to give you a Lupron shot or other Hormone/chemo treatment. Would be worth plotting against blood sugar, fatigue, mental fog, and the little fine hairlets that sprouted on my head in the last year. The Testosterone 299 is fine with me, as is the shorter, ah, period of stroking. As a formerly 10-15 minute (or longer) of vigorous thrusting type, this isn't great but at least that part of the plumbing is working. The other phenomenum is that my "moment of joy" is accompanied by urethral burning. This isn't bad either but it is definitely there. It's the same sensation that I call "stinging while pee'ing". I'm guessing that some nerves or maybe the urethral lining is still recovering from the radiation. The erections and orgasms started a couple months ago; that's about 2 months after the "declined" Lupron shot and 4 or 5 months after the seeding. They were weak at first but gradually improved as the weeks and months passed. Your info is encouraging, it tells me, "keep practicing and things may improve." I realize that the cancer, the three treatments, the Lupron, the IMRT, and the seeds, and the side effects from all the drugs, as well as the side effects from the side effects, have knocked things way outa whack. I'm gradually pulling back from the abyss. I've got the sugars almost normal, clocked a 111-fasting at the doc's, vitals are: sugar 111 (was 300 on Lupron) cholesterol 200 (down) Triglycerides 163, was 900 A1c 6.4, was 11. BP 120/72, was 140/80 My recent numbers are just slightly worse than they were before the cancer, I'm working on em.
