Wet Orgasm

Hi everyone, so I'm 3 months after radical Prostectamy. I still can't really get erections (with Viagra, I can kind of masturbate my penis larger. I'm down to two pads a day so incontinence getting under control. Now reading this forum it seems most people have dry orgasms or cannot orgasm at all. I'm the opposite - not only can I orgasm (even when not erect), but they are as good as previously and a decent amount of fluid comes out.

My question is - is this fluid just pee? And will it go away when incontinence totally solved? If it's not pee I feel like this is a fine replacement for pre Prostectamy, but if it is pee, well that will forever make the bedroom a little gross.

Re: Wet Orgasm

Hello Jim,

Thank you for your message. Since your prostate was removed surgically, any seminal fluid (which previously included sperm cells) no longer exists. The more likely explanation is a condition known as "climacturia", which is when urine is discharged while experiencing an orgasm. You should certainly discuss this with your medical provider. For more information, please see: https://www.yananow.org/MinorSE.shtml

Doing as many Kegel exercises as possible may help to reduce or eliminate this problem. The purpose of those exercises is to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, including the primary urinary sphincter that controls the release of urine. The secondary sphincter at the base of the bladder (which automatically closes during orgasm) was compromised as a result of your surgery.

You can do those Kegel exercises any time, even while watching TV, taking a shower, or driving your car (but keep you eyes on the road at all times), and nobody will know except you. I did many hundreds of them each day after my surgery, and it made a huge difference for me.

Stay safe and healthy.

Best Regards,
Mark
