  1. Hi Dr. Latini, I'm 65, gay and married in a fantastic relationship. I went through a radical procedure 9 years ago and the cancer was close enough to leaving the prostate that the nerve bundles weren't able to be spared. So, 9 years and no erection, not even close. On the gay side, I'm mostly anal active, which was extremely important for me, and have lost most of the feelings there as well, so left basically, except for desire, sexless. This leaves me hallow and not really looking forward to 20 to 30 more years with a sexless existence. I guess that I'm looking for encouragement and suggestions. Thanks for your time. Gary
