I had prostate surgery awhile back which affected my performance. I can't get a hard erection anymore and? don't produce as much semen as I used too.I know my wife wants us to have sex but I can't do it. Also, she is in her early 50s and she is still menstruating, and the doctor says she is still normal and healthy, which means she may still be able to have a baby. We don't need another baby at our age. I still would like to have sex with her but I wonder if it would be wise. I asked my doctor about my problems and he said that prostate surgery will do that to a lot of men. I feel like I am cheating my wife out of sexual pleasures as she used to like it. I can't use drugs for erections (Viagra) because it will interfere with my other medications.

Did you have prostate surgery? I had prostate surgery over five years ago. My ability to have erections, already bad, got worse.

If you have overcome this, please let me know what I can do to improve the quality of my life. I tried vacuum device, injections, Viagra, Levitra, Cialis, therapy. Nothing works.
