I posted a few days ago about my first fully hard natural erection and one
of the congratulatory replies ask for a progressive story, so here
goes....I'll keep it short (or did the surgeon do that?)

I was 50 years old when first diagnosed with PCa and after several weeks of
research I chose surgery.  My Uro made no false promises about return of
natural erections, indeed he said it probably would never happen and then
went on to describe the various aids that can be used.  I should tell you
the cancer was confined and prognosis is good, my numbers a way down.

At first there was no activity whatsoever and my Uro immediately started me
on Viagra with no success.  Then came the needles and I never could seem to
master that art of injecting.  When I managed it I would have a boner that
would last for four painful hours.  I then bought a pump but even with two
rings I could not maintain an erection suitable for intercourse.  What I did
do every night (or second night) was to use the pump as exercise without
using the rings, just pump it up and let it go down again for about ten
minutes per night.

My first erection during sleep came at 8 months post RP whilst on vacation
but by the time I rolled over a woke my wife it had gone.  This was the
start of at least 5 night sleep erections per week and I still get them but
generally if I role over "into position" they disappear.  I had several
prescriptions filled of Viagra over the months all with the same dismal
result.  Then Ciallis was released in Australia about six or seven months
ago and from my first dose I knew I was onto something.  Not so immediate
but over a three day period I would get hard erection suitable for
penetration and without the blue haze and stuffy nose.  I then noticed I
seemed to be getting semi hard erections at all the usual times that us
males generally get a bit of a woody.  This has gone on for about three
months and there has been a few "loveable moments" in the past three months
where it has responded very nicely but generally goes away before I can get
into position, but generally I have been happy that I have been getting
erections again at the right time and for the right reasons.  Last Saturday
night was one of those moments but instead of losing the erection as I got
into position in stayed hard and the rest is history as they say.  Do I miss
the ejaculation is your next question, no not at all, my orgasms are just as
intense although I am premature and I am going to have to learn control all
over again.

It's funny writing about this stuff but I really do hope that it may help
other men understand what is happening with the healing process and provide
hope for those men who just feel as though they want to give up.
