How has prostate cancer affected your confidence in intimacy?

Hello everyone, how are you today?

Prostate cancer treatment can impact sexual function, libido, and self-confidence. Many men experience erectile dysfunction, reduced sensation, or changes in how they feel about intimacy. But relationships and intimacy go beyond just physical function.

Have you struggled with confidence in sexual intimacy since treatment?

How have you adjusted or found new ways to connect with your partner?

Have you found medical or psychological support, and has it helped?
