Seeking Advice: Coping With Sexual Frustration After Cancer Treatment

Question

Can I raise a delicate issue with members.Do members experience sexual frustration, with no ability to achieve satisfaction, resulting from treatment and surgery.In my case, six years ago, I was diagnosed with early stage prostate cancer. I received radiotherapy which largely rendered me impotent. Just over a year later, I was diagnosed with rectal cancer which the hospital had missed. A colostomy and associated treatment destroyed any remaining penis functionality (if you get my meaning) and a complete inability to ejaculate.So while the mechanics stopped working, unfortunately, the mind doesn't and if possible, I get more deep and erotic thoughts than ever before resulting in a very high level of sexual frustration. This manifests itself largely through deeply sexual and erotic poo dreams, unconscious mock masturbation, and sleep talking. (My wife deals with the situation by delivering a heavy kick and "stop that!").A cruel twist is that as part of the prostate treatment, I was on six months of hormone therapy which has resulted in very hard and sensitive nipples and even more sensitive genitals.I wonder if any other members have experienced similar problems and how they deal with sexual frustration.

I'll be 60 in January and my libido has never been higher. Nothing I can do since my surgery in 2005 left me impotent. I write books and go for walks and wish things were different.

I have the same problem after rectal cancer surgery and a colostomy. You may find this is not for you. I have been having and enjoying oral sex with a few male friends of mine. nbsp
