For all my endless (nearly 8 years) troubles that began with my PC dx, the one area I was "blessed" with, was a total lack of any ED. Was able to have errections while still on my original cath post surgery and had my first "O" that way. I do not recommend doing so while with cath, but that's another story.
My post surgery/post radiation events are actually better than my pre-PC days. Basically have full woodies upon demand, and can complete the job at least 95% of the time. Orgasms for me, post, have been very long, deep, and intense.
The hold back for me, is the chronic pain in my life. So I don't seek sex no where as often as in pre-PC days. But, when the urge does strike, usually once a week, sometimes every other week, its all pretty much normal for me. There are times, when I am dealing with severe scrotum and pelvic pain after a romp. This pain can last easily 4-5 days or more.
For many here, ED and other sexual issues are much more common, and expected. My uro brought up the subject today, and still is amazed that I never had any issues. For those that are newer here, during my surgery (open), left nerve bundle was removed entirely, right side - the intent was to remove it, but surgeon was not able to access it properly, so as the surgical notes stated, "left intact but damaged". He makes no claim to this day for my good fortune in this area, views it more as the luck of the draw. I tend to agree.
