Serious issue, performance after prostate surgery.

I just got through a " Green Light Laser " procedure, it went well. I had a catheter in for 48 hours, not real comfortable, but once the cath was removed I peed like a racehorse. There was some blood, not much, and it burned like crazy, but at least it helped. My erection is as good as ever. I have not tried sex of any kind yet as it still is too tender. I will update how that goes in a week or so.

Wow - it's great to hear you are doing well. Best of luck going forward - and please do keep us updated

Well, 12 days post op, not much has changed. Still VERY tender, burns like the dickens when I pee.
Flow is erratic, some times good, other times like before the procedure. Have not tried sex of any kind yet, still too sensitive. I get some bleeding, even with minor stress, can't lift anything over 10 pounds, or cause abdominal pressure that squeezes the prostate. I keep hoping I will wake up one day pain free and back to normal, but that seems a long way off . My erections are like before, so at least my wife will like that ??.

Have a great Thanksgiving holiday.

At our age, recovery times seem to be longer than we think they should be. It seems that patience will be necessary - best not to reinjure anything.

I'm sure she will be happy to experience your woody - ASAP

Happy Thanksgiving to you as well

Back again, now 3 weeks post op, had the first sexual experience, though not intercourse.
I was extremely randy at bedtime, and convinced m.y wife to perform oral on me, couldn't quite get over the edge, so it morphed into a shared manual session, just me as recipient. It took a while, but I finally orgasmed, what a relief ! Well, the surprise was no semen ejaculated, and the orgasm, though great, was not as intense as before. I just didn't get the throbbing, muscles in my pelvic floor as before, with the many aftershocks. Just a sense of relief, and a relaxation of the whole area.
Maybe it will get better with time, we were being gentle because I am still a bit tender down there.
I will keep you all posted as things progress.

Congrats - the intimate time together is important regardless of the outcomes. Keep on - keeping on...

So, another day or two down the recovery road, tried to talk the lil woman into some cuddle time, JUST for HER pleasure, to compensate for her ministrations before. Well, she wouldn't buy it, figuring I had alterior motives ( well, maybe ) so it didn't happen ( her loss ) .
She went off to do whatever, I stayed in bed relaxing and pondering the missed opportunity.
Not to be shut out, I took care of myself, as best I could and the result was as before, nice orgasm, though not that deep rumble I was used to, and no ejaculation, zip, not a drop...bummer!
After some consideration, I figured I might as well just get used to things as they are, for me, climax wise. I did have a fantasy of once things healed up, I could try strengthening my pelvic floor muscles, maybe that would produce more pressure to bring on some expulsion, but physiology stands against it. The muscle strengthening might enhance the feelings, but it is doubtful any ejaculation will appear.

So I wonder if anybody else here has gone through this scenario, and if their expectations and ultimate results were similar.

Well, prior to the laser procedure, my orgasms were great, even though sometimes hard to achieve.
I wasn't one to ejaculate a lot of semen, just a little, but at least there was some. What I wasn't prepared for was the absolute total loss of semen, and the change in sensation with climax. In my mind, I thought there might be some ejaculate, and the feeling would not change, not so.
I still cling to the thought that as I heal, the sensations will become more normal. Time will tell how it goes. At least i still have great erections and at this age, that's half the battle.
I agree, the act of being together intimately means more than just an orgasm. When we don't get together often, I miss that closeness and bonding we share.
