I don't want to be a wet blanket, but i discovered that gabapentin is a notorious orgasm inhibitor. Unfortunately, I don't know what a better replacement would be.

Tomas: Best wishes for next month.

Thank you, Martin.

One side effect of my condition is that sex is out.
I have some incontinence and just don't want to put that on my wife.
She loves sex but seems fine without it (hopefully just for a while).

I've also quit drinking alcohol, and don't miss that at all.

I feel pretty much useless as of now.

I'll post an update after things settle down.

Inject testosterone weekly.
Implant on 1/22/19 by Dr Avila.

The wife and I discovered that we can't tell the current non-alcoholic beer from the real thing! In this hot weather we can drink it all day.

And in the evening, she often has a non-alcoholic tequila.

Good luck with that gabapentin --- it has side effects that could cause delayed orgasm. I believe it was one of my issues.
Had ED for about 25 years, and used pills, then injections, until implant in 2024, following bout with cancer. Implant is AMS 700CX, 21 cm, no RTE, on 6/3/24 at age 65. Thank you, Medicare!
