Started Pueraria Mirifica this week for hypogonadal SE's

I have been castrate for over five years due to cancer treatments and have not had so much as a sexual thought during that time. I've been taking Effexor (venlafaxine) for most of that time and it has ...

Re: Life goes on
Strongly recommend NOT using Effexor. It is very effective as an anti-depressant... My complaint with it is withdrawal - it is usually pretty horrific. I titrated down to 37 milligrams before stopping use of the drug...
I've been on Effexor for five years now. It was a godsend for the ...

As far as what I see as my present sexual identity I would have to say that I am asexual, in that I have no inclination toward any sexual thought or activity ...

Re: Permanent Impotence
You lost two inches due to the prostatectomy. When your prostate was removed it also took away about two inches of your urethra that passed thru the prostate. The surgeon cuts above and below the prostate, then takes the end of your urethra and sutures it to the bladder neck, usually pulling the ...
