that is not entirely true. that being said it all depends on the treatment done or the treatment you are receiving Age is also a dependent factor

One patient I have known had his prostate removed thirty years ago and he reports to have had a very active sex life up until very recently (he’s now 85). Although following the procedure he has been unable to produce any ejaculate, he said that he always believed his orgasms were even more intense and no less satisfying. Go to this site for more information: prostatecancerandsex.com/. Good luck with everything....

prostate adds bulk to semen.. you can do sex but fertility is lost...
4 :
Not entirely true. One of the side effects from the treatments for prostate cancer, prostate cancer itself, and just an enlarged prostate (BPH) is erectile dysfunction. It is difficult to get an erection and therefore, difficult to engage in sexual penetration. There are medications that help with this... ahem...Viagra. Although, that is not a guarantee. Some men, over time, develop the ability to maintain an erection after their prostate cancer surgery. It isn't a large number, but it can happen.
5 :
Untrue. Radical prostatectomy (removal of prostate) can result in damaging nerves involved in erectile function. This, & urinary incontinence may result from this surgery. It's not a given. Additionally, over the past several years, newer, less invasive approaches have been developed for treating prostatic ca (seed implantation, TUNA, etc.).

It depends on the surgery. I had my prostate removed using the DiVinci robot in January and had sex 5 weeks later (but had to use Viagara). Bit by bit, all of the nerves are coming back. As the others have already pointed out, without a prostate, there is no more wet spot - there is no ejaculate.

If you have Proton Radiation it does not effect your sexual ability. Proton radiation is very different from conventional radiation.. I had it about 3 years ago and am fine.. Proton radiation has no side effects most of the time and about a 90 % cure rate.. I believe it is the very best treatment availavle to day.. better than all the others.. no side effects and as good or better cure rate.. there is a website called Proton Bob that tells about it > if you check the website be sure and read the Patient testimonial section.... Also there is a new book just out by af former Prostate Cancer patient called You Can Beat Prostate CAncer.. It was written by Robert J. Marckini.. and it is a really great book. Any one with prostate problems should read it.. It tells all about Prostate Cancer and then discusses all of the treatments available today in detail.. giving the pros and cons of each treatment.. it is a really good book... hope this helps

Prostate Cancer Surgery can have a severe and permanent impact on sexual performance, but determination and the right rehab methods will get a lot of it back if it is started within the first year after surgery. The key is to find a specialist who knows how to treat erectile dysfunction issues, prescribe the correct meds, and give you the right tools to get it back. A strong relationship with a dedicated woman will contribute to success. She will need to care about you and be patient while you are recovering. You will no longer have the ability to have quick one-night-stands with someone you meet in a bar, because a stranger will not care about you enough to work through your performance issues. Over time, sexual performance after prostate surgery will be sufficient to have a good sex life with a caring and dedicated woman. It will be sufficient to perform nightly if that is what she wants.
