In the depths of rad & chemo & malnutrition, I couldn't get it up if I had even wanted to! By a month or so out of treatment I was starting to feel a little better & as things started to become accepted as the new normal in my brain & my new self image, the libido definatley came back, but not instantly! It did take some time & like Mark said, I was not feeling as virile as I once had with all the weight loss, lack of energy, fear of all the new changes, etc. Get him into physical therapy & get some muscle back on him & selfconfidence & the old instincts will follow! I promise! Erik
