Erections are dependent on nerve supply. Viagra and the other medications focus on the physical element of it. Some people think, oh no, there's something wrong with me. I need more rubbing dinner. That's just because you do. As you get older, it's not so visual. So arousal when you're younger, it's like you can look at someone hot and get a boner. When you get older,. it doesn't actually happen that easily. It's a lot more about the dynamic and what's actually happening or maybe sensations. Well, it's actually the sense that you have to be generously stimulated to get the erection. The visuals don't work so well
In this episode, Hannah is joined by Dr Anand Patel, who is a doctor specialising in sexual function. Anand discusses his experience as a biology teacher and with teaching sex ed in school as well as why it’s important for more GPs to have training around sexual health. He and Hannah talk about men’s and people with penises’ sexual function, from early ejaculation to delayed ejaculation and the physical and psychological causes of erectile dysfunction. Finally, Hannah and Anand discuss Viagra, performance anxiety, and some “dick housekeeping”.
