What most men don't seem to understand is that women are way less penis-obsessed than they generally are.

I find these commercials for Pyronie's Disease hilarious -- the ones where the guys are standing around looking dejectedly at a U-shaped cucumber, which is a prudish way of suggesting the problem without actually showing it. My wife, who has some decent lifetime sexual experience says, pfft, lots of men have a bend in their penis, it's never bothered her. It's only a problem if it's uncomfortable for the guy. If anything it suggests novel sex positions might be possible.

After reading several different posts on here, its amazing how many women have responding that a penis can't give them an orgasm but a tongue can

Thank you everyone who responded, with your kind words and thoughts, this is a Post Note, someone sent me a text pertaining to this post, a lovely woman who said a man is not measured by his penis, but by his heart, I think that is so true, i relayed it to my friend. People can be so shallow if they think a mans penis will bring them happiness, as someone said on here, cuddling fore- and kissing can be more gratifying. Its like me saying i will only make love to a woman with big breasts. I wonder how many men would leave their wife or girlfriend because she had a double mastectomy. From what I know about this man, he is a wonderful, loving man, who is still very passionate, but feels incomplete, because he no longer get a hard-on. For me personally, I wouldnt want a woman that was that shallow, and had no compassion.

he could get a pump.
had a good friend who died a few yrs ago..after a prostatectomy he could could no longer get it up. he was a good looking guy with a great personality & women still were attracted to him.
he got a pump to assist him in getting it up.
i remember joking to him one time that he should get some cards made up that said "have pump will travel".
that was a play on an old TV western series in which the main character had cards which stated "have gun will travel" . you'd have to be old to remember it.

Before all this happened, he said he was having sex 3 times a week, he is a lovely man, very passionate , and loves to cuddle, his wife is not as sexual as he is, if he doesnt get oral at least once a week, he masturbates at least 3 times a week. But because his wife is older know, she thinks it more of a chore, and that is giving him anxiety. Im not sure, but he maybe looking for a relationship on the side, and that is why this question has merit

The penis is a useful organ, but it is merely a PART of the whole that is the man... At my age (61), and having had a decent sex-life until recent years, and having completed my family (3 grown children, and I do not want any more) sex would be lovely, but is certainly not the most important part of a relationship. Twenty years ago, my response would have been different. I can take care of my own sexual needs, but intimacy is not entirely about sex. Actually, intimacy is not about sex, but sex can be part of intimacy. Tongue and fingers are nice, but arms and a body to hug are much more important!

It's a deal-breaker for me.

Hope we can keep this discussion going because my friend feels hes less then a man after his operation, he misses being inside a woman, and he definitely can't get an erection, and is embarrassed to get into a sexual relationship

"prostate"

I imagine this would only really be an issue from the man's point of view as not having a functioning penis must make it very difficult for him to enjoy sex. For a woman, sex can still be great without a penis - in fact, I'd list it as one of the least important factors.

Actually, it still works after prostate removal. A man can still orgasm. He just can't 'shoot' anything.
