the journey up

“I was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of cancer and had surgery to remove my prostrate and pelvic lymph nodes. Before finding A Touchy Subject, I was a man with the sex drive of a horny teenager and penis of a newborn.

I found your website and the information helped make the future brighter. I’ve taken your rehab program and feel much better about my future with ED. My wife and better understand what we can do to make life more enjoyable.

(Russ, 2 months post Prostatectomy)

“I had a radical prostatectomy 5 years ago. Intercourse turned into a humiliating and discouraging experience for us.

We are overjoyed 5 months after doing your program. The Vacurect pump is incredible. Learning to use it is sorta like riding a bike. Your videos were incredibly helpful.

You changed our lives; going from no intercourse to making love all the time is a miracle.”

(Thomas & Vivian, 5 years post-Prostatectomy)

“After my Prostatectomy, I foolishly believed I would fully recover my continence within 3 months and regain erectile function shortly thereafter! Little did I know the journey would be far longer and more frustrating.

Today, I feel more comfortable with my ED recovery progress, which is based on your rehab program and general advice. I am sure many other men in my position are very thankful for your guidance.”

(Ian S., 9 months post Prostate Surgery)

“Though my journey back to sexual health has only just begun, your program has been really helpful for me.

I am having troubles with leakage during stimulation but I think that is improving. What a relief to read in your program this was very common.

Anyway, that’s my journey so far, with a long road ahead, but I really just wanted to say thank you for your resources. Knowing that I am not alone in the journey is comforting.”

(Steve, 8 weeks post Prostatectomy, 57 years old.)

“Thanks for a wonderful program, and the dedication needed to get these useful resources together. I would recommend your rehab program without reservation to anybody in a similar situation.

Your program brings up stuff that is likely to happen post Prostatectomy and how to deal with it, with no sugar coating.

The content is everything I wish I knew about this surgery beforehand but couldn't find. Especially useful were the rehab strategies on maintaining your previous self.”

(Bruce, post Prostatectomy)

“There has been a significant improvement in our closeness and lovemaking since taking your program.

Thank you so much, both to you and your colleagues, for the work that you have put in that helps not just us men, but our partners/wives too.

Not just to recover, but to recover with dignity and optimism for the future. We owe you a huge debt of gratitude. (and if I ever meet you, flowers and chocolates, also. Lots!)”

(Gergory, post-Prostatectomy)

“Your program has been a tremendous help. I didn’t realise how important an erection is for mental health until now. Still coming to terms with post-op circumstances”

(Wayne, Australia)

“Thank you for your program (I was referred by my Physiotherapist). It filled the gap in terms of not knowing the unknown. It also helped by making me feel like I’m not alone. Thank you!”

(Keith, Australia)

“This program has taught me that I’m not on my own in this journey.

The thoughts and concerns I have are very similar to others. I’m learning to trust the advice and not get too impatient, there are always days that are better than others.

I am now getting my partner involved and understanding it will take time. Just because the operation was successful doesn’t mean everything else will just follow!”

(Wayne, Melbourne, 9 weeks post Prostatectomy)

“The program has given me more understanding and reminded me to stay patient, keep healthy, and be happy.

Victoria is a godsend to men in my predicament, I appreciate all the time and effort you put into your videos and programs.”

(Bernie, NSW, 1 year post Prostectomy)

“This program makes information available for people who don't live in a city. Thank you!”

(Ian)

“A Touchy Subject’s program made me feel that I am no longer alone in this. It’s given me a practical plan of action to take care of aspects of my healing, and inspiration to share my own story with the world.

You have helped me re-unite with my old friend, the faithful erection that deserted me after surgery.”

“When I saw the doctor he told me to just try pills or an injection but he would not waste money on a pump or anything else. I nearly gave up but the bladder nurse told me about A Touchy Subject and I felt hope on exactly that - a touchy subject.

My wife and I have been using this with great success. It took practice and patience but now I feel like I have mastered it to the point where our sex life is better than anything I’ve experienced in the past.”

(S. post Prostatectomy)

“Until I discovered A Touchy Subject I felt alone and afraid on a journey I did not understand. I thought it was the end of my sexual life. You have given me (and my wife) hope, pleasure, and confidence and the motivation to explore whole new worlds.

The Vacurect works extremely well, I achieve a full erection in about 10 minutes and when shared with my wife, this anticipation time becomes a form of foreplay for both of us. My wife tells me I’m now comparable to my size 15 years ago, which is a pleasant surprise! Regarding sensation, things have advanced from "nice" to "very damn nice" with increasing sensation and pleasure.”

(Phil, post Prostatectomy)
