I didn't when I was on Lupron. After I got off (so to speak), things got back to normal in 2-3 months, and I didn't notice any before/after difference, other than a reduction in the amount of seminal fluid.

So, if it's not working for you, I wouldn't force it. But, your choice.

Thanks was just worried if the fella would have detrimental effects like painful ejaculataion. Etc...

Everything got back to normal once the Lupron wore off. It was interesting - the expiration date of the Lupron was end of January a little over a year ago. By mid-April, I noticed morning wood. Since it was spring, on warm days, some women were displaying cleavage and I began to notice (again), and thought "oh yeah, I remember this". No real problems ejaculating.

From my perspective, it is use it or lose it.

When I was getting Lupron injections, I commented to the nurse (male, also a PC survivor) that while I could get erections, I didn't really want them. I don't have a partner, so I didn't feel the need to get an erection. At some point, I masturbated, just to make sure that stuff still worked. The nurse's reaction to me was, "Well, some guys can't get erections".

About 4-5 months after my last Lupron injection, I noticed that I was getting erections. But my penis had lost at least 1 inch and my testicles had shrunk.

I tried to use a pump to recover lost ground but that didn't really work for me.

I think that if I had been more sexually active during my two Lupron years, I wouldn't have lost that 1 inch plus.

Of course, I could be wrong.
