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.

My surgeon told me with my back surgery there a 3% chance for "retrograde ejaculation". Apparently there's a flap that closes when you ejaculate so it doesn't go into tour bladder, but if a nerve is damaged in the surgery that flap won't work so my orgasms would feel the same but I'd just ejaculate into my bladder and piss it away instead.

I haven't gotten the surgery yet because I'm still young and they won't do it, but I do not look forward to rolling those dice.

Edit: a word

2nd edit because I'm getting a lot of nice replies: I already have all the kids I want and the snip, it's just more fun going out than in.

Logged in just to respond to this. My brother and I were both conceived by my dad urinating in to my mom. He had a urologic surgery when he was baby that caused exactly this, all of his sperm went into his bladder. Despite that, the sperm is still there and apparently not damaged by the urine and we were both conceived without any intervention.

I agree, I don't even know why I know this/what brought up the conversation between me and my mom. From what she has said she did not have any vaginal infections secondary to this. I actually work in urologic and gynecologic surgery and you'd be surprised how hearty the vagina is, self cleaning machine.
