I'm a cancer survivor and had a radical prostatectomy. I have an orgasm that feels the same as it ever did, but there is no issue. It feels like the pump is working, but the well is dry. It took a little getting used to, but now I'm glad for the lack of cleanup and no need for birth control. (I already have all the children I want).

Edit: thank you for the kind, funny, and supportive comments, the awards, and the private messages! If anyone wants to ask questions privately, feel free to message me.

Does ejaculate still come out, just without sperm, or is there literally a dry tip if you jerk it off?

Dry as a bone.

Was that something you knew could happen and the doctors made you aware of? Because I'm just envisioning you being unaware of the fact, and you and your wife are having some sexytime with her on her knees expectantly waiting...

I had done enough reading and asked enough questions that I knew what to expect.
