Gay men with prostate cancer wanted for new study
study takes the form of an online survey that should just take a few minutes of your time.Rinedahl told Queerty when he wanted to undertake the study.“One day, in a conversation with a group of men, a friend of a friend with whom I was not acquainted, made a statement out of the blue,” Rinedahl recalled. “He said, ‘I had prostate cancer, and now after my surgery, I am no longer a gay man, or even a man anymore.
My sex life is over.’“I was shocked and stunned by this statement. He was a 55-year-old physician, handsome, and surely a catch for any man.
Here I was, a chemotherapy and oncology nurse – and a gay man – and I had no idea what he was talking about. I thought he was being a drama queen.Rinedahl sought out data regarding the impact of prostatectomy.
He found studies relating to gay and bi men lacking.“The results were several studies on sexual dysfunction; however, the participants were men who have sex with women (MSW).
