Would a man have to pull out durung sex if he had prostate and will it make him finish quick?
Prostate cancer, per se, doesn't affect sexual activty but many of the treatments for it might well do so. (For example, the hormone therapy that I'm on for my prostate cancer aims to block the production of testosterone in my body. Thus I have absolutely zero libido).
As there are so many different types of treatment for prostate cancer, there can't be a single simple answer to your question. There links though, which are all from well-respected organisations, can offer you some pointers:
^^^ Yes, Anne.
It started off with using women's HRT patches (at 6 times the dosage that women use), which worked quite well for three years but then didn't do the job as well as hoped. So I was switched to hormone injections instead but they, alone, didn't work either. Hormone tablets were then tried, alongside the injections, but they failed to do the job either. (I was getting worried by then!). However I'm now on extra strong hormone tablets, plus the injections, and my cancer now seems to be back under control at the moment.

Please accept my apologies for partially derailing your thread but there's plenty of relevant info (from well-respected and authotitative sources) in my three links above.

My cancer diagnosis was nearly four years ago now (at the start of 2020). I was very quickly started on hormone therapy and then, throughout much of 2020, I had ten sessions of chemotherapy (at a dose which the nurses said it was impossible for anyone's body to take more than eight sessions of). From there, I went onto 37 sessions of radiotherapy, finishing right at the end of the year. I've been continuing with hormone therapy (with this year's modifications to the regime that I've mentioned above) ever since.
My PSA started at 135 but was fairly swiftly brought down by the consultant's "let's throw everything at it" approach throughout 2020. It was under 1 for a couple of years, up until the end of last year, when it started to creep up. When it got to 8.4, I was taken off the hormone patches and switched to injections, in the hope that it would drop again. However it actually went up to 27. So I had hormone tablets added to the injections but my PSA again rose, this time up to 44. Then I had those hormone tablets replaced with extra strong ones (still alongside the injections) and my PSA started to stabilise at 52. My most recent blood test (at the end of October) showed that the curve has now started to head downwards again, with a count of 35. I'm hoping that my next test (at the end of next month) will show a further fall too.
