Today we are joined once again by Dr. Ariel Moradzadeh, a board-certified urologist practicing in Beverly Hills, California, who specializes in men's sexual health, explains that Peyronie's disease affects approximately 1 in 10 men in America and is characterized by acquired penile curvature due to plaque formation in the tunica albuginea (the lining of the corporal bodies). This condition is distinct from natural penile curvatures such as congenital chordee or corporal mismatch that are present from birth.

Sexual satisfaction is vital in relationships, but differing expectations can create challenges. Certified sex therapist Mark Goldberg discusses two key approaches: Good Enough S*x and Expansive S*x. Understanding these can enhance intimacy and address sexual dysfunction.   Good Enough Sex This approach emphasizes routine and predictability. Individuals who prefer good enough sex find comfort in familiar experiences, leading to reliability and efficiency in intimacy. While this can strengthen a couple’s bond over time, it may also lead to sexual stagnation, boredom, and decreased arousal if variety is lacking.   Expansive Sex In contrast, expansive sex involves exploration and novelty. Those with an expansive approach seek new experiences to maintain excitement and psychological engagement. While this can enhance pleasure and connection, it may also create pressure, especially if one partner struggles to keep up with evolving desires. This pressure can contribute to performance anxiety and even erectile dysfunction.

Today, we are joined by Rafi Billick, a couples therapist based in Baltimore and author of "Couples Communication Handbook: The Skills You Never Learned for the Marriage You Always Wanted." With years of experience helping couples at every stage of their relationships, from newly engaged to decades-married, Billick emphasizes that the foundation of all successful relationships lies in empathy. Many relationship experts believe that empathy lies at the heart of every successful relationship. Through years of clinical observation, therapists have discovered that the ability to truly understand and feel what a partner is experiencing creates the foundation for lasting connections. As a sex therapist, I’ve seen how political differences can create stress between couples. When partners don’t agree on politics, it can lead to arguments and distance. That’s why empathy—being able to understand and respect how someone else feels—is so important. Even if you don’t agree, showing kindness and care can help keep your connection strong.

The 2024 election was one of the most heated in history, ending with Donald Trump’s win. No matter which side you’re on, the emotions are strong. Some people feel happy and relieved, while others feel upset and worried. This mix of feelings can cause tension not just in communities but also in families and relationships.   As a sex therapist, I’ve seen how political differences can create stress between couples.

We are delighted to have Dr. Josh Schammel back with us. Dr. Josh Schammel is a fourth-year urology resident at Albany Medical Center specializing in infertility, sexual medicine, and andrology. He will be joining us today to discuss testosterone levels and who may benefit from testosterone treatment. Testosterone is often called the "male hormone" for a reason—it plays a crucial role in overall health, sexual function, and well-being. Produced primarily in the testicles, testosterone is responsible for puberty changes, maintaining energy, muscle growth, libido, and even mental health.   For more free erectile dysfunction education and resources, please visit: https://erectioniq.com/    Mark Goldberg helps men resolve erectile dysfunction.

Mental health is deeply connected to s*xual health. Challenges like anxiety and depression can directly impact s*xual function, while unresolved s*xual health issues often exacerbate mental health struggles. The quicker individuals seek help, the better their prognosis. Prioritizing mental well-being is not just about avoiding catastrophic outcomes but enhancing overall quality of life. Globally, healthcare systems face challenges in providing affordable, accessible, and comprehensive s*xual health support. For example, treatments for erectile dysfunction (ED) like PDE5 inhibitors (e.g., Viagra) are rarely covered by insurance, despite being widely recognized as essential for many. This lack of coverage creates barriers for individuals seeking treatment and highlights systemic inequities.   For more free erectile dysfunction education and resources, please visit: https://erectioniq.com/    Mark Goldberg helps men resolve erectile dysfunction.

Today, we are joined by Patrick Alonso and Cameron Carrothers, pharmacists and hosts of the Men's Health Unscripted podcast. Patrick and Cameron are passionate about empowering men to explore their health and wellness beyond prescriptions and diagnoses. Together, they delve into the critical connection between mental health and sexual function, offering unique insights and actionable advice.   Mental health is deeply intertwined with s*xual well-being, particularly for men. The unresolved mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and even stress from daily life can significantly impact not only a man’s ability to perform but also his overall desire and connection during intimacy. Today’s digital world can dull emotional and physical responses, making it harder for men to fully engage with their partners.
