Men who have had prostate cancer can usually have sexual relations; however, they may have some erectile dysfunction for a period of time. Erectile dysfunction is sometimes permanent and sometimes only temporary after treatment for prostate cancer. Every man is different; some men may be able to resume sexual activity within 5 or 6 weeks after surgery, while others have not been able to have sex, or have an orgasm in years.
Nerve sparing surgery
If you have nerve sparing prostate surgery, you may or may not still have nerve function after surgery. If you were not impudent prior to having surgery, chances are you will be able to have sex again in just a few weeks. The older a man is when he is diagnosed with prostate cancer, the more problems he may have with erectile dysfunction. It should be noted that no matter how skilled a surgeon is, the man’s own physical makeup and physiology could make it difficult for a complete recovery of erectile function. Generally, the younger you are when you have this surgery, the better chances you have of having a satisfying sex life a few weeks after surgery.
Expectations
Sometimes men try having sex within a week of having prostate surgery to see if their “equipment” works, and they become disappointed because they cannot get an erection. It’s natural to get depressed when you fear you might not be able to make love again with your partner, but try not to worry too much about it. A week or two after surgery is too soon to expect that you will be able to have an erection, have sex and have an orgasm. Within 5 to 6 weeks you may begin to see that your function is coming back. If you are unable to have an erection within 2 to 3 months, talk to your doctor. It sometimes takes up to 2 years to get your erectile function back.
Erections and orgasms
Men who are unable to have an erection within a few months of surgery may be able to be helped by taking medication, such as Viagra. There are other ways to help men achieve an erection, such as using a VED pump, or administering medications into the penis through injection. Even with the aids mentioned, some men are not ever able to have an erection again after having prostate surgery; however, it is still possible to have intense orgasms without having an erection. Often, when a man relaxes and uses breathing techniques, he can have satisfying orgasms.
Continence
You can’t have ejaculate when you have your prostate removed, and most men have dry orgasms. However, some men actually have a little flow of urine during their orgasm. Sometimes an erotic thought will elicit slight leakage of urine from the penis. It is harmless; urine is sterile unless there is a bladder or kidney infection. If you find you have a continence problem, you should try to remember to empty your bladder before having sex. You may also notice that you have slight leakage of urine if you lift something heavy, or if you cough or sneeze.
Kegel exercises
Kegel exercises are helpful to help the man strengthen the muscles in the pelvic floor. To do Kegel exercises you tighten your muscles, hold, and then relax those muscles. You can do Kegel exercises quite easily; just imagine that you have bad gas and you are trying to hold it back. It is important to start doing Kegel exercises soon after surgery, because it can help the man get back his erections, and stop the dribbling of urine.

I do have urine instead of semen. Actually I enjoy having something come out rather than nothing. It’s more natural and feels more pleasurable. My wife doesn’t mind it and I keep the bedsheets clean
