If the prostate gland is removed, the male will no longer be able to conceive a child naturally.

If the nerves that control erection are cut during prostate surgery, this can effect a man's ability to achieve an erection.
When the prostate is removed is the sexual desire if an erection is impossible?
Removing the prostate does not mean male sexual function is impossible. There are two nerves that run along the sides of the prostate, and these nerves control a man's ability to have an erection. If the prostate is removed and the nerves are left intact and not damaged, full sexual function can be restored within 3-12 months. Even if an erection is not possible, sexual desire can still exist. If the couple are in a loving relationship, they can still have a sexual relationship with toys or other methods. Lack of sexual desire and negative thoughts related to prostate removal and lack of ability to achieve an erection are all in the head...change your thoughts and this changes the outcome!

What are the alternatives to get an erection after the postrate has been removed?
If the nerves that run along side of the prostate are not damaged or cut, a man will still be able to achieve an erection. If the nerves are cut, a full erection is generally not possible, but I have seen reports of people who used spiritual health programs have had full recovery from diseases, cancer and other conditions. This includes recovery from disease and medical conditions where recovery using western medicine practices was deemed a failure.
