More Some Side Effects of Prostate Radiation that Oncologists Kind of Tell you About; or, The Four Horseman of the Sexual Apocalypse Part II
Franz Van Stuck- The Sin
It’s truly difficult to put into words what a lack of libido feels like and what that lack of libido can result it. No porn or other potions of pulchritude could replace the urge, the need, the desire to have sex with someone, especially someone you love, to share in that intimate, often unbridled, unfettered lust, something that might make the short list on Porn Hub. No, nothing. Of course, there were other options like oral sex, but even that had its limitations, repetition being the demon of desire, the mother of all disappointments. Naturally, low libido is often linked with ED and ED may or may not be improved with meds…blue ones, beige ones, red ones, choose your color. At some point, the ED may have preceded radiation therapy, but certainly after radiation therapy it’s prevalent and with that new revelation there may be the horror of penile atrophy (See Part III) at which point even the mention of the word “mushroom” can turn the most delightful of meals into an emetic. Moreso for me whose package in my heyday was greater than the normal erection of. 5.1’…and so, out of desperation, out of despair, out of anguish, I did the unthinkable, garnered my courage and asked my urologist for a “dick prick,” which shouldn’t be confused with a “dick pic” since the latter didn’t require an injection in one’s cock as seen in this illustration…

I’m not going to get into the details of how best to prick one’s dick. That technique requires the expertise of a trained dick-pricking urologist of one’s choosing; however, in a later chapter, I will inform the Reader of its success or failure. And now, this painting by Franz von Stuck with Eve being one’s partner and the snake being ED. Dick prick or not, the low libido didn’t help my relationship and clearly damaged it, but, on the upside, I got a small reprieve of unexpected libido, which I’ll share in an upcoming post. Regardless, one shouldn’t minimize the potential sexual downside effects of ATD on both the lover and the lovee and the harm it could cause, so do whatever you can to improve your sex life regardless of how “unsavory” it may sound.
