How to overcome penis shrinkage after Prostatectomy (vacuum pumps, penis sleeves and strap on devices)
Many men lose penile length and girth after prostate surgery.
Studies show that Daily use of a vacuum device can help in the long run to regain length and prevent further shrinkage.
But what can you do in the meantime?
Here are some sexuality products designed to add length/girth to the penis for intercourse.
The benefits of using an extension device are:
Add a sense of fullness for your partner (if that’s what they like, everyone is different when it comes to the intercourse sensations they enjoy).
Add sensation to the penis, especially when a pleasure-optimised long lasting lubricant is used between the device and skin.
Here are two categories of extenders:
Penis Sleeves
These tend to be made of soft stretchy material designed to fit over an erect penis to add girth and length.
In the design below, the strap fits under the testicles and you would place the sleeve over the penis like a condom, they are often ribbed on the outside to offer an extra sensation.
The downside to sleeves is the quality of materials.
I haven’t yet found one on the market made from 100% body-safe materials. The sex toy industry is unfortunately unregulated and unless I can be sure I trust a brand and their materials I am reluctant to offer it.
Also, I’m unsure how stiff the erection needs to be for this to be a good experience, and stiffness usually varies after Prostatectomy, even when using an erection aid.
If anyone has found a penis sleeve they enjoy and used successfully, please get in touch.
Hollow External Prosthesis Device (strap on)
An external prosthesis (yes, I am using the fancy medical term for ‘a strap on’) is a bit easier to find with quality materials.
I recommend the Zoro by Perfect Fit. This external prosthesis is made with body-safe silicone and can be used with a flaccid penis.
The penis fits outside the prosthesis (through the gap under the dildo). This means your partner of you can stroke in time to the motion of intercourse. There is an interesting Journal published case study of one man (with ED from ADT) who found that he could have orgasms and feel the sensation of intercourse through a dildo using this method (read the case study here: where neuroplasticity and strap-ons meet).
Read this review of a strap-on from a gentleman in our audience.
This inspiration for this article came from a member of the PCFA online community board. (Many thanks to another PCFA member who reached out to me with the question citing this source).
The gentleman on the forum specifically asked if any men had tried a penis sleeve and if they help.
It’s a great question. There is nothing more valuable than a review from someone who is in your situation. In fact, I only offer products through A Touchy Subject that have been thoroughly tested by my members and clients, as well as passing design and materials quality control.
So therefore, to make this article a lot more useful for the gentleman who asked the questions and others, I have a favour to ask…
Have you tried a penis sleeve or strap on device and would be willing to share your experience (anonymously)?
