Bad news for the older men!

Reuters is reporting that among men who undergo surgery for prostate cancer, one out of every five can who do can expect to lose upwards of an inch of erect penis size.

Lovely. A new indignity to look forward to.

I find this bit much more alarming...

While 92 percent of patients prior to surgery reported being able to achieve an erection, only 33 percent retained that ability three months later.

My mother's partner is in remission from prostrate cancer, and he can't. I pointed out to my mother that there were other ways...he won't. Poor Mom.
