Why Love and Good Sex Are Harder to Find Today

In this episode, Dr. Morgentaler and Dr. Brandon talk about why fewer people are getting into relationships, touching on politics, independence, and the rise of AI as a substitute for real connection. 01:34 – The Impact of Political Differences on Relationships Dating today feels harder because politics are turning potential partners into enemies before we even get to know them. 09:52 – AI and the Future of Relationships With AI chatbots offering comfort on demand, more people are turning to screens instead of real human connection—and it's changing everything. 13:17 – The Importance of Human Connection Even though relationships take work, nothing replaces the emotional, physical, and soul-level support that comes from being truly seen by another person. 14:51 – Combating Loneliness and Depression The more we isolate, the more we spiral—loneliness feeds depression, and the only real way out is reaching out to someone who cares. 20:48 – Balancing Masculinity and Femininity in Relationships For relationships to feel alive and exciting, we need to embrace our differences—strength, softness, backbone, and tenderness all have a place.
