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.

Today, we are joined by Dr. Jenn Bossio, a highly regarded clinical and health psychologist based in Ontario, Canada. Dr. Bossio joins us today to discuss cognitive behavioral therapy as a treatment for psychogenic er*ctile dysfunction.   Er*ctile dysfunction (ED) can have various origins, including psychological and physical factors, yet many treatments tend to focus on the physical aspect alone. In clinical practice, shifting focus from achieving a “perfect” er*ction to enjoying intimacy can relieve performance anxiety and often leads to better s*xual experiences for both individuals and couples.   For more free erectile dysfunction education and resources, please visit: https://erectioniq.com/    Mark Goldberg helps men resolve erectile dysfunction.

In this episode, we dive into Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a form of depression that many experience, particularly during the winter months. This condition can bring on low moods, irritability, fatigue, and changes in sleep or appetite due to decreased sunlight and shorter days. For those affected, SAD often leads to a feeling of "hibernation," where energy levels drop, and motivation wanes.   The consequences of SAD are not limited to mood; they can also extend to sexual health. Depression and fatigue can significantly impact libido, lowering sexual interest and activity. It's common for men to experience a decline in libido or even erectile dysfunction as energy and mood diminish. Furthermore, SAD doesn't just affect individuals—it can impact relationships too. Partners may notice changes in sexual routine or emotional responsiveness, and this shift can strain intimacy.   For more free erectile dysfunction education and resources, please visit: https://erectioniq.com/    Mark Goldberg helps men resolve erectile dysfunction.

With his expertise in men's s*xual health, Dr. Bajic offers valuable insights into Peyronie's disease, a condition that affects up to 1 in 10 men.   Peyronie's disease, which affects up to 1 in 10 men, is often misunderstood and underdiagnosed. This condition causes penile curvature and deformity, but its impact goes far beyond the physical. Many men feel shame or inadequacy, even with mild cases. Interestingly, partners are usually less concerned than the affected individuals.   For more free erectile dysfunction education and resources, please visit: https://erectioniq.com/    Mark Goldberg helps men resolve erectile dysfunction.

A growth mindset helps people see challenges as opportunities to learn and grow, even in difficult times. Instead of feeling defeated, those with this mindset look for ways to adapt and solve problems. This is especially important for men dealing with erectile dysfunction (ED), as it can prevent feelings of helplessness and frustration.   In contrast, a fixed mindset can lead to negative emotions like self-doubt and hopelessness. Men with ED who have a fixed mindset may believe nothing can improve their situation, which only adds to their anxiety and stress. This cycle of stress can make ED even harder to manage.   For more free erectile dysfunction education and resources, please visit: https://erectioniq.com/    Mark Goldberg helps men resolve erectile dysfunction.

I get asked frequently about what to do when you (or your husband) comes too quickly during sex, or has premature ejaculation.  I wanted to do an in-depth episode on this topic to address the many questions that we have because frankly, sex isn't that enjoyable when it's over too quick or you just don't last as long as you'd like to. Even if this is something you don't deal with right now in your marriage, the information in this episode will teach you how to keep your sexual health in tip top shape for your marriage.   My guest today is Mark Goldberg. He is a sex therapist out of Maryland that specializes in common male sexual dysfunction issues, such as premature ejaculation.

Today, we have the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Marah Hehemann, an assistant professor of urology and the Associate Program Director of Andrology at the University of Washington in Seattle. Dr. Hehemann specializes in male sexual function and fertility and also practices clinically at the university.   Hair loss can be a distressing experience for many men, leading them to seek out treatments like minoxidil (Rogaine) and finasteride (Propecia). However, these popular medications may come with potential side effects that impact sexual function. Minoxidil is unlikely to significantly affect erectile function when applied topically, as only about 1% of the medication is absorbed into the bloodstream. On the other hand, finasteride, which blocks the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), has been associated with a 5-10% chance of negatively impacting sexual function, including reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, ejaculatory problems, and decreased sexual pleasure. These effects have been reported with both the higher 5mg dose used for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and the lower 1mg dose for male pattern baldness.     For more free erectile dysfunction education and resources, please visit: https://erectioniq.com/    Mark Goldberg helps men resolve erectile dysfunction.

Today we are privileged to have Doctor Kevin Chu with us. He is a private practice urologist and men's health specialist in Los Angeles, California. With roots in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he pursued his undergraduate studies at UC Berkeley before attending medical school at the esteemed New York Medical College. Dr. Chu honed his expertise in urology through rigorous training at the University of Miami.   Shockwave therapy, originally developed for kidney stones, utilizes acoustic waves to induce a response in targeted tissues. While the mechanism for kidney stones involves breaking them up, shockwave therapy for ED operates differently. It stimulates the body's natural healing response, promoting neovascularization and tissue regeneration in the penis.   Addressing common concerns, Dr. Chu clarifies that shockwave therapy sessions are non-invasive and generally well-tolerated, with minimal side effects such as mild tingling or bruising. However, he emphasizes the importance of patient selection, cautioning that not all individuals may benefit equally from this treatment.   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 Dr. Ariel Moradzadeh, he is a board certified urologist practicing in Beverly Hills, California. He specializes in men's sexual health and sexual issues. He will enlighten us on the intricacies of vasectomy, vasectomy reversal, and their potential impact on sexual function.   A vasectomy, a brief office-based procedure taking 15 to 20 minutes, involves cutting, clipping, and cauterizing the vas deferens, the tube carrying sperm from the testicle. Contrary to common misconceptions, a vasectomy does not impact sexual function, erection issues, testosterone levels, or cause long-term testicular pain. Some individuals, after having a vasectomy, decide to undergo a vasectomy reversal. This is often due to remarriage or a desire to have more children with a new partner. The reversal process is a delicate four-hour operation conducted under general anesthesia and requires precise microscopic techniques. The success rate varies, diminishing over time from the original vasectomy.

This week on BackTable Urology, Dr. Jose Silva invites Mark Goldberg, a certified sex therapist, to discuss psychogenic erectile dysfunction and his role as a sex therapist for patients and couples. --- SHOW NOTES First, Mark shares his expertise on how to address performance anxiety in patients. He explains that performance anxiety can present in different ways for different people and that it is important to understand the unique thoughts and feelings associated with each individual's manifestation. He recommends what is best for patients who are insistent on immediate relief and emphasizes the importance of finding a balance between a challenging lifestyle and having enough mental bandwidth to have the desired sexual function. Next, they speak about the causes of premature ejaculation, which can be lifelong or acquired and across the board or situational. He outlines the two general areas of focus to address premature ejaculation, which are over-excitation and performance anxiety. He then discusses the different methods to treat the different causes, such asl medications, and cognitive and behavioral interventions. Then, Mark speaks about the difference between men and women's expectations of sexual performance. Men tend to have higher expectations of themselves, while women oftentimes feel like they are not living up to the bar. Mark also discusses the role of telehealth, as it is easier for therapists to work with people outside of the United States than across state lines. Mark also shares his experience of starting his radio podcast during the COVID-19 pandemic. --- RESOURCES Center for Intimacy, Change, and Connection https://centericc.com/team/ Erectile Dysfunction Radio Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/erectile-dysfunction-radio-podcast/id1529816999

She's passionate about sexual health and wellness and is working to destigmatize conversations about sex between patients and providers.   When we think of vibrators, the traditional image that comes to mind is often the iconic Hitachi Magic Wand.

Dr. Dubin's Florida-based practice has earned him recognition for his expertise and dedication to guiding patients toward enhanced sexual health.   The way the medical system makes decisions has changed in a noticeable way over time. The days when people just did what their doctors told them to do are over. Instead, there has been a change in the way people think about making decisions. This change is caused by a number of things, such as the fact that there are many ways to treat a given condition and the realization that each person's wants and preferences must be taken into account. Patients with erectile dysfunction can now choose from a wide range of treatments, each of which has its own pros and cons. By having open conversations with their doctors, patients can take an active role in their treatment and make sure that their decisions are in line with their needs and goals.   For more free erectile dysfunction education and resources, please visit: https://erectioniq.com/  Mark Goldberg helps men resolve erectile dysfunction.

Dr. Noble is a pelvic floor therapist who works with all types of people to resolve sexual function challenges. She has specific expertise in helping people address erection and ejaculatory issues. Pelvic floor is a group of muscles and tissues that support the pelvic organs, including the bladder, uterus, and bowel. One of the important roles of pelvic floor is to contribute to the process of achieving and maintaining strong erections. During sexual arousal, the pelvic floor muscles contract, which increases blood flow to the penis and helps trap blood within the erectile tissue, resulting in a firm and sustained erection. However, weak or dysfunctional pelvic floor muscles may not contract effectively during sexual arousal, leading to difficulties in achieving or maintaining strong erections. The pelvic floor also plays a role in ejaculation. As the muscles contract during orgasm, they help propel semen through the urethra and out of the body. Good pelvic floor health is essential for sexual function and overall quality of life. Regular exercise and pelvic floor muscle training can help maintain strong and healthy muscles, which can improve sexual function and prevent sexual dysfunction. Pelvic floor exercises, also known as Kegels, are a simple and effective way to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles.   For more free erectile dysfunction education and resources, please visit: https://erectioniq.com/    Mark Goldberg helps men resolve erectile dysfunction.

Are you aware of the dangers that excessive porn consumption can have on your brain? In this episode, we will take a deep dive with Cognitive Neuroscientist and Certified Sexual Addiction Recovery Coach, Dr. Trish Leigh, into the effects that porn can have on the brain and explore how it can lead to erection problems. In this era of modern technology, access to porn has become increasingly prevalent. Nevertheless, what many fail to realize is that porn can have long-lasting negative effects on both the brain and the body.   Studies have shown that porn addiction can lead to changes in brain structure and function. In particular, it can cause desensitization to sexual stimuli, leading to a decrease in sexual responsiveness. This can result in difficulties achieving and maintaining an erection, known as erectile dysfunction (ED).   According to Dr. Leigh, the more we watch porn, the more our brains become desensitized to dopamine, requiring us to watch more and more extreme content to achieve the same level of satisfaction. This desensitization can lead to a decrease in sexual arousal and performance, ultimately causing ED.   Moreover, excessive porn consumption can also lead to anxiety and depression. This is because porn can create unrealistic expectations of sex and intimacy, which can lead to feelings of inadequacy and disappointment in real-life sexual encounters. This can further exacerbate the problem of ED, as anxiety and depression are also common causes of ED. Watching porn can have significant effects on the brain, leading to changes in brain structure and function, and can cause erection problems. It's essential to be aware of the potential risks associated with excessive porn consumption and seek help if you or someone you know is struggling with porn addiction or ED. Remember, Your Brain on Porn can have lasting effects on your sexual health and overall well-being.   For more free erectile dysfunction education and resources, please visit: https://erectioniq.com/    Mark Goldberg helps men resolve erectile dysfunction.
