Nerve Sparing

Post surgery libido

After prostate surgery, for nearly a decade, I did not entertain thoughts of a sexual nature, even my attraction meter shut down; I did not see women as the opposite sex. What I discovered was that I would be okay with it; growing older is about loss. I had no 'poor me' vibe, life was fine. Cancer returned 7 years later on the scar tissue. I had finally allowed a woman in my life and she taught me that if you have even one nerve-sparing, all that equipment can work again with the right person.
