On today's show, we’re diving into the complexities surrounding men's experiences in dating, intimacy, and sexuality, shedding light on the challenges often masked by societal expectations. Our exploration involves dismantling myths and internalized narratives that shape the lives of men and their partners, sexually and beyond. We also discuss how thoughts and beliefs can influence our capacity for pleasure and physiological functions like erections and ejaculation.
