Hi PaulMy husband has been on Zoladex for 9 months and his libido is totaly nil. Its been a very difficult journey for both of us after having a beautiful intimate sexual relationship. Viagra does not work without libido.We have come a long way and I agree with Ted. We are just starting to explore a new sexlife. Is not the same but we are looking at it as a new adventure. We are lucky that we are in a very loving relationship and truly love each other. I can imagine if a couple are a bit "rocky" it would test their relationship. Zoladex stinks but I would rather my husband be here to enjoy other things n life than be dead.
I totaly agree with you, a loving couple can find other ways to express sexually. My concern is how to keep blood flowing in the penis during treatment, so it don't get atrophied. After ADT is over, one will gradually recover libido, and ED recovery must continue.
