I was able to attend the workshop on maximizing sexual potential and the room was filled to capacity. Believe me, this is a topic everybody wants to know more about. Kate Mcbride is a sexual health clinician who offers education counselling and medical interventions to persons to assist them in managing the sexual challenges they experience as a result of a disability. She has also published and presented on a wide variety of sexuality and disability issues. She absolutely said it is possible after years to get sensation back. It may take up to two years or sometimes longer to get sensory feelings back. She suggested a high velocity vibrator for both males and females. She also suggested to get a high quality one. She did say it would probably take time, so don't get frustrated if it takes awhile. Just keep at the stimulation. She works with spinal cord patients out of gf strong rehab center in vancouver British Columbia (Canada) You can get in touch with her through this number. 604 737 6411. It is clinical support services at GF Strong Centre. You could ask for her directly. I think it would be wonderful if anyone has questions if you could speak with her. She seemed like a sweetheart and maybe she could recommend a colleague in your area, or send you some info through email. There is a lot of hope and research going on in this field. Also, check this out www.vch.ca/gfstrong/programs/spinal/docs/sexuality.pdfMy manual, Life After a Spinal Cord Injury says the following: For males: In general, with injuries above T12, emission and ejaculation can be induced. Very strong genital stimulation is required, and the use of a vibrator may be necessary. The vibrator has proven very useful in close to 80% of the cases, sometimes in conjunction with medication. Success depends on using a good technique as well as an appropriate device. The pharmacology reduced response consists of an injection of physotigmine to stimulate ejaculation. This method has been very successful since it came into use in 1983. The possible side effects include autonomic dysreflexia, hyperrreflexia, nauseau, dizziness and hallucinations.(Sounds like it could be a trip!) Most couples can administer this treatment by themselves at home. Not all sexual stimulation comes from outside sources and touching. Sexual arousal in both men and women is stimulated by what we see, hear and imagine. Seeing an erotic film or a naked body arouses sexual feelings and pleasures. The sexual positioning aids shown were: Love Bumper Slide, Love Swing, Body Bouncer and Intimate Rider Slide, they all seemed interesting depending on your needs. The session definitely stressed being open to new experiences outside of comfort zone of pre-injury envelope. They also said to be sure you have maximized the natural physiology: use brain arousal to its fullest potential, reduce distracting neg factors as much as possible, for e'g, meds, pain, spasms, and to be comfortable with your new body map. Create an interest in self stimulation and body exploration.

In Re: to Matt last statement we don't have an old website we do have an old forum. We do have the teleconference replay that you can still hear the sex theraptist and Dr. Klein answering some questions from the group. From the forum click on Link to main website: www.spinalcordtumor.org and it will take you to the front page of the website and from there on the left side click on the teleconference page. Scroll down and you will find both replays that can be helpful to hear. I hope that will clear up any questions on the teleconferences. ~Linda I suffer from severe erectile disfunction!

Sometimes erectile dysfunction has emotional routes. I personally had to take Viagra early on in my marriage because I was having ED. I wasn't even 30 years then, but I and my wife were having all kinds of fightsand I ended up getting a script for Viagra ( viagra overnight delivery usa ). I'm 33 now, the marriage is better though far from perfect, and I have no ED issues anymore!

I took Viagra 50mg for several years and it was fantastic. Then insurance company changed coverage and would only pay for Cialis. The price is not cheap!!!I've bought them at this site rxpromocodes.com/. Followed the Dr and drug company instruction to cut 20mg in half and use that. Two hours later, and with the proper "motivation" it wasn't kicking in. Didn't kick in until the next morning, and I'm not 100% sure it was the pill. Bottom line, Cialis seems to kick in at unpredictable times, while viagra was a guarantee 60-90 minute fun time

Let the surgery heal for three to four weeks before attempting anything. After one month after the robotic prostatectomy, it is recommended that you resume sexual activity. Stimulation of the nerves is thought to be a first step on the journey back to potency. Remember that you can still experience the pleasures of orgasm and other sensual stimulations without full erections. The average time to recovery for erections adequate for intercourse (in those who do recover) is 6-12 months, but in some men, it is even longer. You should also be performing Kegel exercises regularly to help your return to potency. Medical therapy requires a prescription from a doctor. Therapies include medications (Viagra, Cialis, Levitra), treatments (Muse), devices (Vacuum Pump) and small injections (Caverject). All these meds you can order here all-day-chemist.us/. All of these therapies have their respective costs and benefits. While regaining erectile function is not possible for all men, it is important to remember that erection is just one part of a satisfying sex life. The other parts remain intact despite prostate cancer surgery. Sexual feelings, sexual fulfillment, climax and the sensation of orgasm are still available without an erection.

I have also been dealing with sexual functioning troubles for a bit now and I'm not sure what to do. I went to my general Urologist andhe said everything is working fine its all in my head. My doc gave me some Cialis to use to help overcome this problem but I really don't want to use it since it would make me feel that i would depend on it. I've read on Canadian Pharmacy Cialis website that whenever I solve problems in my head, I can quit taking Cialis

Hi Samuel, not sure if you will see this message. If you do, I would give the Cialis a try. Start with a very low does(trust me ). I had to use something similar for three years after my surgery. I'm not 100% percent back to normal, but real to close to. I feel like my erections are not an issue any more, but I still need a lot of visual stimulation for me to actually reach climax. Hopefully your partner can understand your situation, and work with you. Good Luck to you.
