I had prostate cancer years ago and it was "cured" surgically - meaning all the cancer came out with my prostate. Because of complications due to previous pelvic trauma, the nerves that signal an erection were lost.
So here I was, alive, cancer free, but completely impotent, and without a prostate, there is no ejaculate whatsoever with orgasm. Yes, you can orgasm without a prostate, and without an erection. It's not easy without the latter.
I played with various external penis pumps and cock rings and found a process that would give me a good sustainable erection, but it was a process. Later I opted for an inflatable implant (Google AMS 700 implant) and - it's okay. While it's more spontaneous than a big external pump (oh and try bringing that through a TSA checkpoint and see what happens) but it's still not as spontaneous as a natural erection. It also doesn't fill the penis with blood, so it's lighter and little less girthy, and there is some loss of sensation. All in all, it's a good second best. But people who have imagined having these things implanted for just the sake of enhancement are mistaken - there is a reason you just don't hear of this happening.
Today, I have a beautiful loving woman in my life, and our sex life is better than good. I miss being able to produce cum, but that's a small tradeoff for life.
Recently, I was diagnosed with liver cancer and underwent surgery for a liver resection. I have some nasty scars from life, but I am determined to be who I am - and one aspect of that person includes my sexuality.
As I posted my story on another board here, other people have come forward with various stories of what they've been through and how they are coping. I am amazed at the number of survivors here.
If you're reading this and have something similar to share, please share what you can.
If you are reading this and you are about to go through something like this and have questions, please ask. I was amazed at how little real discussion I could find regarding implants before I had that operation.
As we face these things, we can either give up or kick some ass. Let's kick ass.
