Here's some statistics from a study about the impact of a prostatectomy on a man's sex life:
74.6% were being treated for erectile dysfunction (ED).
52.4% After RP, patients reported lower sexual desire
79.4% Reduced intercourse frequency
38.1% Less satisfying orgasm
25.4% Climacturia (urination before or during orgasm)
68.3% Greater distress
56.5% Lower partner satisfaction
76% Loss of masculine identity.
Impact of Prostate Surgery on Sexuality
It's doubtful anyone prepared you to cope with these issues before surgery unless you were fortunate enough to find our pre-surgery forum.
These are such profound changes that you could be struggling with depression and relational stress with your partner. I urge men to seek out support/help on or off line for coping with these very difficult issues
