For what it is worth tell you friend that many of us guys that are now "shooting blanks" have stronger, longer lasting orgasams without the messy clean up. He must also be aware the there is a chance that he could battle incontinance. But I can personally say the even that can be managed one way or another.
Good Luck with his decision.
