dry dream

has anyone had a dry dream after prostate removal. I awoke two nights ago with would have been in days of old a wet dream.

Re: dry dream

Yes, several times, but I had 1 year of ADT & EBRT/IMRT.

Re: dry dream

Same here. I'm 8 months out from radiation and I've started to wake during the night with a partial erection. It is unusual in that it has a narrow diameter. Viagra, Levitra and Cialis have failed where a dream has succeeded. The only problem is the duration. By the time I can make use of it, it goes away.

Hi Paul,
I've noticed that it does get larger (diameter + length) as you come off ADT. My mid Jan 09 Testosterone is just less than 2, my last ADT shot was April 08.
I have as yet been unable to determine what exactly happens as you return to normal. Like Terry told me, it will be a dry orgaism, but I do not even know if there will be an orgaism. Duration is getting much better.
At first it was a bit painful when erected, now only feels like it has been rubbed to much :)

Yup, 6 mos out RP. Only once certainly brought back good memories. Immediately checked out the gear, flacid and dry. Oh well, I didn't think I'd ever have and orgasm again and gave me some hope. I'm on Lupron and no doubt I've lost length and width. Bought a vacuum and am using it in an attempt to give me fighting chance in the future. I'm going off the Lupron, having last one this week. 9 months total and that's it. I and I alone will make this decision. I'm over it. BTW I'm 50 yrs and PSA undetectible.
