Exploring the Impact of Pornography on Relationship Bonding

In this episode of the Rena Malik, M.D. podcast, Dr. Rena Malik talks with Dr. Nicole Prause about the complexities of orgasm and sexual response in the brain. Dr. Prause discusses her research on the changes that happen as individuals near climax, suggesting a possible undocumented phase in the sexual response cycle. They explore the role of cognitive control in achieving orgasm and examine the practice of semen retention, noting that its purported benefits lack scientific support. The conversation also highlights the challenges researchers face in the field of sexual health.
