Surgery issues

[sebbie]

As one of the nurses said it is possible to have an orgasm without having either an erection or liquid semen. If you ever experiment with seeing how fast you can have an orasm w/o having a firm erection you would have a good idea as to what they feel like w/o an erection. The nerve endings are not as sensitive, but they are still a lot of fun. You cant tell there is no semen if you don't look. I'm doing a study on penis since in my recovery. Flaccid, I am only about 2 3/4 inches. Before surgery I was about 6 inches. Currently, after one of these dry orgasms I am at about 4 inches. I think this is some improvement from just after surgery, but I am hoping for further gains. I miss my Cowpers the most, and the things it was able to do, but sadly, that is gone for good.

I'm doing pretty well now. My hip feels all but perfect, and I am back to 90 minutes of stationary rowing and weights a day. My weight is back to the normat 146 lbs.

My erections have yet to fully return, but I continue to be hopeful. Its interesting to try and come up with ways to have fun without a full erection!

A return to exercise without pain sounds like good news Sebbie and your research on fun without a full erection will be worth an academic paper for worldwide distribution !

I got to noticing yesterday when I was slightly aroused that there was a tiny strand of clear stuff running down from my penis, with a slightly larger "drop" at the end. I said to myself "that certainly looks like a tiny strand of my much beloved precum, from the Cowpers gland. But I thought I had lost my Cowpers gland when the prostate and the seminal vescicles were removed durning surgery.

Turns out, probably not. I found several blogs that address the specific issue by those who have had prostate surgery. Apparently the Cowpers gland is located downstream, well away from where the prostate is positioned, and the cowpers is not normally removed during surgery. There are many other guys reporting that they are getting dry orgasms post surgery with the exception of precum.

For me, having an intact Cowpers gland is one major key in getting back to resally enjoying myself. I did not realize all of this before as I was leaking too much uriine when I got sexually aroused post surgery, which was washing away the precum before it had a chance to form in drops. And I am starting to once again sense that really great-feeling tension I always felt at the initial stages of arousal I have always associated with a Cowpers gland springing into action.

This is going to take some time. I'm 5 months out of surgery. The data I read last night says that 37 percent of those who have had surgery similar to mine get an erection back in 12 months, but 67% in 24 months. Of the remainder, some were hot getting an erection prior to surgery, and some had too much nerve damage done during surgery, but the latter case is often guys who had much more complicated tumors to remove than I had.

Stay tuned. I'm glad I have all the different methods available for self- stimulation at my disposal. I can now proiceed carefully and at my own pace w/o concern with respect to a partner. My white aqux swim briefs were veru useful last night :-). Stuff is starting to happen for me (again).

I hardly know you Sebbie, from being on the board only a couple of months, but I've been following your recovery and I'm happy for you that things are beginning to improve. Hopefully you will steady improvement as time passes. Five months is not a long time post surgery and you appear to be very patient and happy when you notice small positive changes. I look forward to hearing more about your successes.

I think I need to run some experiments this evening with a combination employing a nice snug suit and my vibrator, on the order of something like what was being done in the video to that Japanese guy. I'm starting to feel some real tension in the groin area again post surgery, and I need to try some stunts to see exactly where this all leads.

I never cease to be amazed at the sensations I discover in the "research."
