ED after cancer surgery

After surgery from prostate cancer over a year ago, my husband can't achieve an erection (though he can orgasm). The pills the doc prescribed don't work, and he said the next step is a pump or shot. Are there other options, and is there anything I can do to help? Needless to say, hubby is despondent, and not trilled at these prospects.

    Poor dears! I've been through a similar situation in the past. Here's what I learned from Dan Savage and from experience: Have lots of sex anyways. Toys, hands, mouths, whatever. Make sure you guys keep on enjoying yourselves no matter what you actually do. There could easily be a psychological component to the ED as well as the physical. If he's feeling like "a failure" because he can't have an erection the problem could compound itself. Is there any time scale for after prostate surgery that things could function better in? Maybe a little more time could help.

    I hope the doc can help you guys find a physical solution, but in the meantime I'll be wishing you much erotic fun and happiness.
