I suspect it feels different for different men.  My father had a TURP back
in the 60's and told me it felt better then before, more intense.  I had it
for a while after my PVP.  It felt different but still pleasurable.  It
reminds me the way it felt when I was young and had a condom on that was too
tight and did not have a reservoir end.  I do know that most women are glad
that they no longer need to deal with the mess.  I have recovered from my
PVP and now shoot the normal way, both are good but different.

I was glad to get off the pills.  They caused me side effects that I grew to
accept and I thought that living in a low energy, fog was just part of aging
until I got off the pills and the fog lifted.

As a much older man (late sixties), I remind you that sex is not just about
the end of the journey but also about the joy you and your partner
experience on the way there.  A bladder that is always half filled with pee
it much more of a hindrance to good love making then a difference in
sensation at the moments of orgasm.

Good luck with what ever you decide.

I had TUMT 7/2/04 and PVP 2/23/05.  Supposedly the PVP was to be done as
"a bladder neck sparing procedure" as per the cystoscopy 3 weeks prior
to the PVP.  When the procedure was done, the URO made a "single
incision through the bladder neck at the 5 o'clock position, which
opened it up nicely."  Although he told me before the PVP that there was
a 20% chance of retro, I have had 100% retro ever since the PVP.  The
thing that I miss most (now at 100 weeks post PVP) is the pumping
sensation of ejaculation that I used to feel prior to the PVP.  Now that
the semen is ejaculated into the bladder, the pumping sensation is very
definitely diminished.  Sex is still worth the effort, but I have had to
get used to some new sensations. (I'm 62)  If you have further
questions, send them direct.
