Not to mention doctors have a disturbing (and it honestly seems like this should lead to lawsuits and loss of license) habit of lying about the effects of prostate cancer treatment on men's sex lives [1]. Key quote: The findings, based on a study of 1,000 men in different treatment centers, suggests that surgery and radiation treatments take a far greater toll on male potency than most men are led to believe. Among men in the study who reported good sex lives before cancer, fewer than half were able to achieve normal erections two years after treatment. Also, it's an unattributed quote, but based on some of my interactions with doctors, this rings true: Such sobering statistics are a rarity in any discussion of prostate cancer, partly because surgeons and cancer experts worry that a man might forgo treatment rather than risk his sex life. Fuck them. That's not their decision to make.
