Sexual functions following prostate surgery

Salvatore, Did your Dr. explain the side effects and the percentages of this happening Before your surgery? Mine said nothing, seems to me this is not ethical. An explanation could have brought up a discussion of other ways of treating the problem.Not being told of potential results was bad enough, but their non-chalant attitude after the fact is even more disturbing. And the enjoyment of sex just isn't the same,And if this is for the rest of my life,(I'm 53) it makes it hard to image much of a sex life at all. How exactly do you tell a potential partner that you can perform,but really don't get the satisfaction? Someone told me their attitude was because it was not a life- threatening side effect. To me life- changing is just as important. If I was 70,it might not seem as important, but what do I do for the 17 yrs til then? LIFE SUCKS!
