ED

Hi Godbless and welcome to the forum, though i had a few intimacy issues going through treatment, we went 14 months without intercourse, I didn't have ED, but my partner was so understanding and caring, never once was i made to feel inadequate or less than a man. Godbless that you need a pump to get an erection will not matter in the slightest to any future partner of yours, love, trust, honesty, a sense of humour and friendship are at least as important as intimacy, my guess is that the pump will become a fun part of foreplay, If you type in, sex and cancer -  lets talk, you will see a post by survivor72 which i think will help you, best wishes.

Hello Godbless .

Welcome to the family. Eddie has expressed things well and I have attached the link for you as I know it can be difficult to navigate the forum at first.

My husband has been on HT for almost 4 years but, whilst some aspects of our physical relationship are not possible, this has not stopped us from being very close and still having fun. From a womans point of view a loving, caring partnership is more important. Someone I can enjoy doing things with, having a laugh with, but being supportive on the down days carries a lot more weight.
