Episode notes

Welcome to Episode 30 of the Penis Project podcast! And our very first episode with a couple talking about their experience - TWOGETHER!

Meet Judy and Punch who both were very willing to share their story.

Punch was diagnosed in 2017 after a routine blood test suggested by his new GP - totally by accident. And through all of this, Judy was with him.

Listen on how they handled their journey together - from diagnosis, to moving to Perth for Punch’s surgery, to post-op procedures and to doing injections as a team. Yep, Punch is an injection user! If you’re curious about his experience and what happens when you prick the wrong side of the penis, this episode is for you.

Plus, Dr. Jo will also explain what’s the preferred or ideal position (no puns here) when doing pelvic floor exercises and why mirrors can be of help to do them perfectly. ;)

Key takeaways:

Judy:

If you have someone to go with you, that's a huge thing - someone to back you up. :)

Punch:

All males, once you get to 50 (45 if you have family history) - go and get tested.
