Today, we talk with Pierre.

In 2017, Pierre attended a conference in South Africa where he had the opportunity to meet Dr. Jo. The talk delivered by Dr. Jo left a lasting impression on Pierre, inspiring him to focus his efforts on studying physiology and men's health. This decision was deeply personal for Pierre, as his father had been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Motivated by this experience, Pierre sought to make a difference by helping men with their sexual function. To achieve this, he enlisted the assistance of Helen, who guided him in developing the necessary skill set.

Pierre's dedication led him to pursue a PhD, and he reached out to Dr. Jo for guidance and support in his research. The central focus of his PhD work was the neglected sexual side effects, an issue often associated with shame. Pierre hypothesized that many individuals silently suffer from sexual dysfunction due to societal taboos and stigmas. To shed light on this topic, he aimed to investigate the impact of sexual dysfunction, exploring various aspects such as orgasm-associated problems, climacturia, delayed orgasm, penile shortening, and loss of ejaculation.

Pierre emphasized the significance of asking the right questions to obtain the necessary answers. He believed that by providing men with a means to assess themselves, they could gain valuable insights into their own sexual health. Pierre’s ongoing PhD research aims to contribute to improving men's health outcomes. Part of his study also acknowledges the profound psychosocial impact that sexual dysfunction can have on men, emphasizing the challenges they often face in dealing with this issue.

In the middle of it all, Melissa shares a very helpful tip that can help men going through any kind of sexual dysfunction - measure your penis before surgery/treatment. ;)
