Best Sex Toys For Men With Cancer 2023

Sex may or may not be on your mind during cancer treatment – but at some point, you will start thinking about it. When and how long it takes for your sex life to return depends on factors like what it looked like before your diagnosis, which treatments you receive, and how your partner handles the news.
Unfortunately, many cancer survivors report some sort of sexual dysfunction including but not limited to erectile dysfunction, low desire, and issues with ejaculating.
Thankfully, newer treatments mean that you have more time to figure your sex life out since they let you live a longer & richer life. That being said, what do men and the people who love them need to know about navigating sex and cancer?

Cancer Can Affect Your Erections.

Some types of pelvic surgery, pelvic radiation, some chemotherapy agents, and the disappointment, fear, & distress that can come from cancer and it’s treatment may impact your ability to get and keep an erection.
You may be able to get an erection that’s firm enough for penetration, but probably not as firm as before. Or you may not be able to get an erection. Luckily, not only are there are many different ways to treat erectile dysfunction, but it’s also possible for you to experience lots of pleasure and even orgasm without an erect penis.

Cancer Can Affect Your Ejaculation.

Certain surgeries, pelvic radiation, hormone therapy, & some chemotherapy drugs can impact your ability to ejaculate. You may find yourself experiencing a dry orgasm where you feel the sensation of an orgasm but no semen comes out. Or you may have retrograde ejaculation, where semen goes back into your bladder rather than out through your penis. Neither of these is painful or harmful, though they can impact your fertility. You also may experience premature ejaculation
Another issue can be climacturia – where some urine leaks out during ejaculation. The amount varies widely, from a few drops to more than an ounce (about the amount of shot of alcohol). Urine isn’t dangerous to your partner. If it’s a bother for your furniture, check out our favorite solution below.

Cancer Can Affect Your Orgasm.

Despite the fact that orgasm and ejaculation often go hand in hand, they are two separate processes. Having changes in one doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll have changes in the other.
Everyone has a different experience with orgasm after cancer and it’s treatment. Yours may feel stronger, or not; more satisfying, or not. Having less intense orgasms is normal with aging, but the effect can be more severe for cancer survivors.

Cancer Can Cause Other Sexual Side Effects

Pelvic surgery & radiation can lead to pain during sex. Unfortunately, the exact cause is unclear. These treatments may damage nerves in your pelvic area or block blood flow to your penis.
Hormone therapy that lowers the level of testosterone in your body can also cause a decrease in sexual desire. Fortunately, this doesn’t happen to everyone, and younger people with penises are less likely to experience such effects.

Cancer & Its Treatments Can Cause Other Physical Side Effects That Impact Your Sex Life.

When it comes to sex, context matters. Non-sexual physical side effects don’t impact your sexual & reproductive organs but can make having sex more difficult and/or less enjoyable.
Examples of these effects include:

• Swelling of your extremities (lymphedema)
• Nerve damage & pain
• Fatigue
• Weight changes
• Loss of muscle mass
• Skin changes
• Growth in breast tissue
• Loss of hair
• Other physical changes

Cancer Can Cause Psychosocial And Emotional Side Effects.

Decreases testosterone, changes to your erection & ejaculation, and a lower sex drive causes some men to feel like “less of a man.” Thankfully, and despite the messages society sends, your manliness is about so much more than your hormones and your penis.
Other psychological side effects include:

• Struggling to get out of your head and into your body to enjoy sex
• Body image changes
• Self-esteem changes
• Increased stress
• Struggle to be vulnerable & connect with your partner(s).

All this is normal. And all this is something you can work through.

How To Treat Sexual Side Effects Of Cancer

You can treat your sexual side effects.
There are both medical interventions and non-medical options. These vary based on what side effects you experience as well as what treatments you receive(d). No option is right for everyone and you may need to explore more than one option.
Treat sexual side effects with:

• Testosterone replacement
• Pelvic floor trainers
• Changing how you have sex and the types of sex you have
• Treatments for erectile dysfunction including pills, injections, pellets, vacuum devices, and implants

Treat other physical side effects with available therapies like:

• Compression sleeves for lymphedema
• Wigs for hair loss (alopecia)
• Anti-acne medication
• Medicated lotion for dry skin
• Physical & occupational therapy

Treat psychosocial and emotional side effects with help from a:

• Therapist
• Sex therapist
• Somatic bodyworker/sacred intimate/somatic experiencing practitioner

Please Note: Any professional that you choose, should have experience working with cancer survivors.

You may also enjoy complimentary & alternative (CAM) therapies such as:

• Yoga
• Massage
• Acupuncture
• Tai chi
• Energetic healing (eg Reiki)
• Herbs
• Essential oils
• Meditation

Be sure to discuss any of these treatments with your cancer treatment team. There might be issues with your treatment and some of these treatments.
You’ll also likely find that focusing on creating the right context for sex helps you to enjoy it.

1. Figure out which sex positions work for you now, both physically & mentally.
2. Time sex when you’re in the least amount of pain and/or time your medications so you can enjoy the greatest amount of sex.

Remember that self-care, from the simple (showering, eating, etc.) to the more decadent (spa day) is also very important.
Lastly, expand your definition of “sex” to include ALL sexually pleasurable activities. This includes but is not limited to:

• Mutual masturbation with or without luxury sex toys
• Oral sex
• Massages
• Kissing make-out sessions

It isn’t easy when society sends a strong message that intercourse is the be-all-end-all. And it doesn’t change that you may miss your old sex life. Yet, when you shift your definition, it allows for so much more pleasure and intimacy.

How To Clean Your Luxury Sex Toys

It’s very important to clean your high quality adult sex toys before and after each use. Regular soap and water can leave a residue. Therefore, luxury sex toys should be washed with sex toy cleaner. To extend the life of your masturbator and stroker, we recommend cleaning your toy with a Toy Powder.

Having a pleasurable sex life as a cancer patient or recovering from cancer is possible. You just need to be in the right mind space and have the right tools. My Secret Luxury is your guide on your road to finding your pleasure again.
