Nudity.

I’m seeing that your post went off on a different tract! Regarding the Prostrate Cancer treatment resulting in a “cold shower” syndrome, unfortunately, I can speak somewhat intelligently!!
I’m not sure where it starts but I had it most of the way through my Radiation Therapy.
I dreaded going there, lying on the table with my pants to my knees, with that condition.
You like to think that the tech’s ((mostly young women) are professional and it doesn’t matter, but in my mind, they were laughing their a$$es off behind the wall!!! So humiliating!!!!
Did it start with the biopsy? The placement of the targets (he did damage then, I passed a piece of meat while urinating later that day)? The Eligard (of which I am still on)?
All I know is that upon completing my 44 dosed, I sat in the Dr.s office and he said “ how you doing”? I pointed to the poster on the wall of the guy cut in half, and said “not good, I want to look like that guy again”!!! Without an exam, he described me to a tee and sent me to mens health!
They told me I need penile rehabitation and told to use a penis pump and Viagra!!!! I can’t seem to bring myself to do that! I look at it as some sort of jerking off and I can’t afford $10 per pill x twice a day, seven days a week!!!! I’m in some sort of a f*&$ed up limbo!!! I don’t even let my wife see me naked!! I can’t imagine using a f*&#ing penis pump but I sooooo miss my wife so much that (after hearing my self here) will order one.
So in closing, try a Mens Health doctor because, you’re not alone.

Jimmy,

I quit caring what the female doctors and techs think while doing their jobs long ago as long as they do their jobs. If you're up for it a little humor or levity with them can make it less stressful. Of course they've probably heard it before but TS.

Just flat out tell your wife that you have to use a VED on doctors orders. Tell her you'd prefer privacy while using it as you're still emotionally sensitive about using it or she can help if she's up for it. There can be some entertainment value there. You will need lubrication to use it so use your imagination or let her use hers. Some female fondling can help with the effectiveness of pumping. At least that's my experience. Of course I usually do the therapy myself in privacy. There's also constriction rings that can be used with the VED and some couples can be satisfied with the sexual activity that can result. It helps a bunch to just get it all out in the open. Unfortunately, IMHO, women aren't allowed on this site but some members may arrange communication with their wives or SOs if requested. I'd ask if requested.

My Uro also prescribed Viagra therapy. My insurance wasn't much help there either. I ended up getting my doctor to write a refillable script for 100 pills and ordered through North West Pharmacy in Canada. The pills I get are generic and made in India. Some people may scoff at the India made pills but they seem to work as well as the name brand and haven't killed me yet. There are other Canadian pharmacies other guys use that may or may not be cheaper or better. This is the one I tried first and have stayed with. Due to some banking law or rule changes I have to actually send a check for payment.

Good luck.

I have no problem with nudity because that's the way we all come into the world.

Medical books illustrate every detail of the human anatomy. I have all the bits that a male is supposed to come with.

I am not shy about me being me.

We all know what neked men & women look like so why the taboo?

I guess a problem could be in how perverse a person could be.

Well welcome to the forum.

I'm perfectly fine with that, it's no shame to seek professional help and take off your clothes when needed. It's better than suffering in silence, that's for sure.

After this radical prostatectomy journey I believe i could walk outside The James and see my dick up on a billboard and be like well....it is what it is.
The thing that always helped me with the opposite sex observing me or handling my man bits was this....women typically are not turned on visually by the penis. Big or small, hard or limp. Your abs, your butt sure....but truth is most women think its bizarre looking. After I realized most women could honestly care less if I'm nude or clothed in these situations I just quit worrying about. Once they leave you they just go to another man and all they see is the clock ticking away to lunch or going home.

Unless.....you do a helicopter I don't think anyone in the medical field notices balls, butts, dicks at all.

I love being naked, the wife and I have been to many nude beaches, we are members of a nudist resort where we have a lot of friends and we have been to Desire a lifestyle resort and many swinger parties. The other day the wife and I were talking and I said, you know what is funny we are not like most people, I have seen everyone of my friends wives naked. When we are at the nudist resort with our friends we have even taken a group shower as they have a shower which is one big room with 8 shower heads and there were 6 couples In there, one big shower it was great.
