Who had that done and they both had significant issues post surgery. The Dr's told them that "performance" issues were largely a thing of the past, but both had issues. The Dr's just said "everyone is different .. Blah,blah, blah" , but both guys had issues with getting wood and one had to wear adult diapers because he kept pissing himself.  Do your research by finding forums online and talking to guys who had the surgery.  Ask them if they felt it was the right thing to do.

Sounds like you are getting pretty good advice here..........a mentor of mine.........had the surgery and regretted it.  He now wears a bag..........and believes he would have been better off without the surgery.

Of course he had his surgery done several years ago............and overall the results of this surgery may be better now.

Good luck!

A client in his late 50s early 60s who had undergone a similar procedure, though I don't know how invasive it was. He was completely upfront about it at the beginning of the session, after exchanging pleasantries of course. My experience was exactly the same as with men who have not had this surgery, except for the aforementioned difference.  

Fun times were had by all !

As with all surgery, get a second opinion. A lot depends on whether the cancer is aggressive or not.
Your performance depends on how extensive the surgery becomes because there are two nerve bundles with the prostate. One is for the erection and the other is for orgasm. You want to keep both if at all possible.  
The leaking urine has to do with kegel exercises and muscle control, you have to practice a lot. These are the muscles that help you stop the pee mid stream.  
Again, ask your Dr. every imaginable question you can think of. Make a list ahead of time.
Keep in mind, it is better to live cancer free than to die of cancer!

Good luck!

I have a couple of friends who had the surgery.  From what they told me it took some experimenting to see what works for them. They can orgasm but both need a pump to get an erection.  They both explained the situation to me beforehand so I knew what to expect.  We usually pause after a litle while to pump up. It seems hard to orgasm w the cock ring on so a different method is needed to finish. The only hiccup I've ran into is knowing exactly what's going on. If your the quiet type, or you don't get more expressive during the finish you have to communicate when you are done.  
I wouldn't worry too much, as long as you tell them any pro should be understanding and willing to work with you.

And it did not turn out well. This was a few years ago. Robotic surgery, state of the art. But....they had a problem. He now wears a diaper and needs to use a med injected with a hypodermic needle into his penis to get hard enough to have sex. He would NEVER have gotten the surgery if he could go back. Like the others, even though you think you know everything, keep looking and get a second and maybe a third opinion. Good luck whatever you decide.

AND no smell.

From what I have learned and heard from several urologists, prostatectomy will most likely hurt you sexual functionality.  Very likey you will not enjoy your sex life after surgery.  There are exceptions, and how much you can still enjoy your sex life is very hard to predict, and varies from case by case.  Most people who lost their function won't come to this board.  You can only hear from people who still maintain somewhat sex function, and the opinion you get from this board is heavily biased.  If I were you, I will be fully prepared to say farewell to this bobby if I decided to receive the surgery.  Good luck, brother.

Yes, most men die with it than from it, but certain factors come into play, such as,,,,

1. your age, the younger you are diagnosed the more proactive you need to be.

2. How aggressive the cancer is growing.  Mine was aggressive and I was diagnosed mid 50's. I have a friend who had radiation pellets years ago and now at 64, has bladder cancer.

Roll the dice, but be aware of the results.

1. I had prostate Ca 15 or so years ago and after careful research decided to have radioactive seeds implanted.  My prostate shrank to a tiny dot.  I am in my 70s and still have good erections and climax.  I usually have one or two small climaxes and if all goes well one biggie at the end during which small amounts of fluid comes out. I explain all this the first time I am with someone, and there is never a problem.  

2. You might want to research your choice a bit more.  The data show that surgery carries the highest rates of complications including incontinence and the inability to get an erection.  Seeds and combinations of external beam radiation and seeds have cure rates as good if not slightly better than surgery but with fewer complications.  A lot depends on the aggressiveness of your cancer (one indication is the ps level, an other is the Gleeson score.)  
Your age also come into play.  
Feel free to write me if you want to share information.  It is a big decision with life long implications and I have no dog in the fight so can be helpful.
Whatever you do I wish you the best and assure you that most cancers of the prostate are curable.
