Gay men are perhaps the most aesthetic community out there: gym routines, filler, hair plugs, veneers, BBLs, skincare, holetox, steroids, and even surgery. This episode dives into the “looksmaxing” of it all, and other trends that inform (or infect) our community. Is everyone who gets cosmetic surgery insecure? Are you toxic for having a really strict gym regimen? How do we draw the line between affirming aesthetic body modification and unhealthy impulses informed by cultural pressure? Answering these questions with us are two guests: nurse practitioner “Injector Chris” and therapist Benjamin Goldman. Hungry for more Sniffies’ Cruising Confessions?

Take two sex questions and call me in the morning. If only talking to your doctor about sex felt that easy.You rehearsed the question in the waiting room. Then the doctor walked in, and you swallowed it.Maybe it was about STI testing. Pain. Pleasure. A change in your body. Something you worried would sound strange, embarrassing or too personal for a medical appointment.Dr. Sheila Wijayasinghe is an academic family physician, medical educator, Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, longtime health expert on CTV's The Social, and co-host of The Doc Talk Podcast. She and Michelle explore how shame follows us into the exam room, how a provider's tone can open or close a conversation, and why sexual healthcare should make room for pleasure, not only pain or problems.Sheila offers a place to start when the words will not come: "I'm feeling embarrassed, but I'd like to talk about this."You don't need a polished explanation.

What I Discussed With Dr. Justin Lehmiller- How men's sexual health and desire can change as they get older.- Why erectile difficulties become more common with age and where Viagra fits in.- Why sex toys can be useful for men and how to choose the right kind of stimulation.- How to introduce sex toys into a relationship without making things awkward.- What penis pumps can do for erectile difficulties and sexual function.- Why masturbation and orgasm may have benefits beyond sexual pleasure.Chapters00:00 Sponsor: OhMiBod01:46 How men's sexual function changes with age04:27 Why men don't talk about sexual problems05:46 Erectile difficulties and Viagra07:28 Sex toys for men09:03 Vibratory toys and penile health12:43 Finding the right toy14:53 Introducing toys into a relationship18:01 Penis pumps and erectile difficulties21:53 Sexual activity and aging24:15 Sex, orgasms and cognitive function25:42 Masturbation and better sleep26:55 Choosing and caring for sex toys28:59 Researching sex and agingShow NotesMen's sexual health changes as we get older, but that doesn't mean we stop being sexual.In this episode of Sex Advice for Seniors, I'm joined by Dr. Justin Lehmiller, a senior research fellow at the Kinsey Institute and author of Tell Me What You Want, to talk about men's sexuality, aging, erections and pleasure.We talk about what happens to sexual function as men get older, including erectile difficulties and changes in desire. We also get into sex toys, vibratory stimulation and penis pumps, and why these can be useful tools for men who want to explore different ways of experiencing pleasure.We also talk about masturbation, orgasms and sleep, and some of the research around sexual activity and wellbeing as we age.Most importantly, this is a conversation about taking some of the pressure out of sex and being willing to explore what works for your body at different stages of life.Key Takeaways- Sexual function and desire can change with age, but there is no single experience of aging.- Erectile difficulties can have different causes and shouldn't automatically be viewed as an inevitable part of getting older.- Sex toys can offer men different forms of stimulation and can be part of partnered sex.- Penis pumps can be one option for men experiencing erectile difficulties.- Masturbation and orgasm can be part of sexual wellness at any age.- There is still a need for more research into men's sexual health and aging.About Dr. Justin LehmillerDr. Justin Lehmiller is a Senior Research Fellow at The Kinsey Institute, author of the book Tell Me What You Want: The Science of Sexual Desire and How It Can Help You Improve Your Sex Life, and host of the Sex and Psychology Podcast.

Data from the final report of the Disability Royal Commission and Australian Bureau of Statistics surveys have found that about 72% of people with cognitive disability (including intellectual disability, but also those who have had a stroke or brain injury) aged 15 and above have experienced abuse or violence. A staggering one in two women with intellectual disability have experienced sexual abuse. So, are we doing enough to prepare and protect young people?In this episode, Carly Lassig, Lead Education Consultant at DSIDQ, speaks with Natasha Milner, Education Coordinator, Disability at True Relationships & Reproductive Health. Natasha answers some Frequently Asked Questions from schools about bodies, boundaries, and relationships. Carly and Natasha also discuss advice and practical strategies for supporting young people with Down syndrome or intellectual disability to learn about puberty, respectful relationships, and sexual health and consent, and to reduce their vulnerability.This podcast was created with educators in mind. However, many of the messages are also relevant for families and allied health professionals working with young people with Down syndrome or intellectual disability.For further information and resources on this topic, see:Down Syndrome Australia's Adolescence Guide: https://www.downsyndrome.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/DSA_Adolescence_June-22_WEB.pdf Down Syndrome Australia's Healthy Relationships and Sexuality Guide: https://www.downsyndrome.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/DSA_Healthy-relationships-guide.pdf True's programs and resources for people with disability and their families and caregivers: www.true.org.au/education/community-support/disability For schools interested in tailored support, please contact the Down Syndrome & Intellection Disabilities Queensland (DSIDQ) Education Team.Email: education@dsidq.org.auPhone: (07) 3356 6655Website – https://www.downsyndrome.org.au/qld/services-and-supports/education-services/ Disclaimer: This episode is for general information only and does not constitute professional advice.

Independent abortion clinics collectively provide 58% of abortions in the United States. After 26 weeks of gestation, abortion clinics provide 100% of abortion care in the country. Yet, independent clinics have faced unrelenting attacks to their funding, resources, and physical wellbeing, especially over the past decade. Nikki Madsen and Erin Grant, Co-Executive Directors at the Abortion Care Network (ACN), sit down to talk with us about the critical, community-based work of independent clinics and the importance of International Safe Abortion Day around the world. The Abortion Care Network is the national organization for independent, community-based abortion clinics, whose programming supports sustainability and professional development for clinics and their staff. Providers are navigating providing care to patients plus those that are arriving from out of state, with low pay, little time, and low support for their mental health and wellbeing. Independent providers, showing up every day to under resourced and threatened clinics, believe in provide the human right of sexual and reproductive health care.For more information, check out Relationscapes: https://www.relationscapes.org/Support the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.socialBuy rePROs Merch: Bonfire store Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

It happened. We finally did an entire episode about c*m. This episode dives into everything about c*m that you could possibly want to know — and perhaps more you didn’t even know you wanted. Gabe and Chris talk about viscosity, taste, nutritional value, the science of semen, the politics of finishing, and something called “c*m math.” This episode is deeply funny about the phenomenon of c*mming and also totally serious about what it means to gay culture. Joining us in the studio are the illustrious hosts of the Sloppy Seconds podcast Big Dipper and Meatball, exchanging crazy stories and learning a thing or two while we’re at it!

For the past 25 years, we've been hearing that male contraceptives are just a few years away. And then a few more… and then some more after that. So for something that has been in development for such a long time, what is with the hold up? In this episode, Dr. Kaylee Byers takes us through the history of birth control – from silk condoms to beaver testicles – before heading back to high school bio for a good old-fashioned male anatomy lesson. Then, urologist Dr. Premal Patel walks us through the current options for males (spoiler alert: not a lot), and endocrinologist Dr. Stephanie Page gives us the lowdown on some of the promising gels, pills, injections and other methods that could finally change the game. So hit play for some sexy science– from vasectomies, to genomics and infertility research, to reproductive equity for all. -Highlights2:18 - The wacky history of contraceptive methods7:54 - Breaking down misconceptions of vasectomies 18:29 - A gel and a frontrunner for male birth control -SourcesThe History and Future of Birth Control - Live ScienceWorld Contraception Day: 10 of history's most horrible contraceptives - BBCBreakthrough takes big step toward safe, reversible male contraception - Cornell

You went to the doctor. The bloodwork was fine, the scans were fine, and you were told to live with it. So you assumed the problem must be you. But what if the pain, the softer erections, the coming sooner than you want were never in your head? What if the part of your body nobody named has muscles, nerves, and actual treatment options?Dr. Susie Gronski is a pelvic health physical therapist and AASECT-certified sexuality counsellor and educator who built her practice around the gap nobody else was filling. Men have pelvic floors. Those muscles get tight, tense, and crabby, and they can be rehabbed. She also has a phrase she gives every client before they get on the table: bodies do body things.About Dr. Susie GronskiWith over a decade of expertise in men's pelvic and sexual health, Dr. Susie Gronski is a Licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy, Pelvic Health Therapist, AASECT Certified Sexuality Counselor and Educator, and founder of a multidisciplinary pelvic health clinic in Asheville, North Carolina.

Is 10 Seconds of Oral Sex Still a Blowjob? How much time does it take for oral sex to “count”? Ten seconds? Thirty seconds? Does there have to be an orgasm, ejaculation, or even an erection? In this episode of Sex and the Psyche, Daniel and Dr. Jenni Skyler tackle a surprisingly complicated question sparked by a very real-life sexual experience and introduce a phrase we’re pretty sure you won’t forget: the “Cock Kiss.” They explore why there’s no universal stopwatch for good sex, how intention and attention can matter more than duration, and why the exact same sexual experience can feel satisfying to one person and completely unfinished to another. They also get into rapid ejaculation, orgasming without an erection, difficulty ejaculating while still enjoying stimulation, and how medications, age, health history, excitement, and infrequent sex can all affect what happens in the bedroom. Most importantly, the conversation raises a bigger question: How do you communicate with your partner when your definition of “that was enough” isn't the same as theirs? Because when it comes to sex, sometimes it's not about how long it lasted… it's about what happened while you were there. And yes- sometimes it really is just a cock kiss.

**Trigger Warning: Miscarriage and Pregnancy Loss“One of the most prevalent myths about human pregnancy is that of all possible outcomes, a baby is the most likely. Pregnancy Interrupted challenges the misleadingly linear narrative that begins with two lines on a pregnancy test and ends with a newborn. Kate Clancy shares her own deeply personal stories of pregnancy loss and moving interviews with others, and reveals how the frequency of loss and miscarriage is far more common than most realize.”For more information, check out Relationscapes: https://www.relationscapes.org/Support the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.socialBuy rePROs Merch: Bonfire store Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

We talk a lot about screening and treatment in the breast cancer space. What we do not talk about nearly enough is what happens after. What happens to a woman's fertility, her vagina, her relationships, her body image, her mental health, her cardiovascular health, and her sense of self when treatment ends and everyone expects her to simply be grateful to be alive.Dr. Eleonora Teplinsky is a board certified medical oncologist specializing in breast and gynecologic cancers, head of breast and gynecologic medical oncology at Valley Health System, and author of the new book Beyond the Pink: Navigating Life, Health, and Breast Cancer. Her work has long focused on young women with cancer, sexual health, and survivorship. And this book is her answer to a question medicine has not been asking loudly enough: how do we help women not just survive but thrive?We cover a lot of ground. Hormone therapy after breast cancer, including the nuanced conversations around hormone receptor positive versus negative disease, vaginal estrogen, testosterone, and Duavee. Bone health, body composition, sarcopenia, and the emerging data on GLP-1 medications and breast cancer recurrence risk. The difference between a local and distant recurrence and what ongoing screening actually looks like years after treatment.We also discuss the racial disparities in breast cancer care that begin with clinical trial enrollment and run all the way through treatment decisions, drug access, and who gets believed when they report pain. The medical distrust that Black women carry into the oncology office for very good reason. And what it means to practice truly patient centered care when the healthcare system was not designed to make that easy.Survivorship does not begin when treatment ends. It begins at diagnosis. And you are more than your breast cancer.Highlights:Vaginal estrogen is safe for the vast majority of breast cancer survivors, including those on aromatase inhibitors.Testosterone may actually act as a tumor suppressor in hormone receptor positive breast cancer.GLP-1 medications show early signals toward lower breast cancer recurrence risk.Black women are underrepresented in clinical trials and undertreated in guideline-based therapies.Survivorship care starts at diagnosis, not when treatment ends.Bone density should be checked right after chemotherapy; weight-bearing exercise, calcium, vitamin D, and body composition monitoring are all part of survivorship care.Black women are underrepresented in clinical trials, undertreated in guideline-based therapies, and underbelieved when reporting symptoms; medical racism in breast cancer care is real and documented.Get in Touch with Dr. Teplinsky:WebsitePodcastInstagramGet in Touch with Me:WebsiteInstagramYoutubePre Order my Book

Some conversations stay with you long after you hit stop recording.This is one of those conversations for me.I'm bringing back my interview with Susan Bratton, and I am not exaggerating when I say this is one of my favorite interviews I've ever done.Susan is a sex educator, author, and longtime consensually non-monogamous person who is incredibly passionate about helping people have more pleasure, better communication, and satisfying sex throughout their lives.And she has a LOT to say.We talk about her life with her husband and boyfriend, what it looks like to build a family around honesty and connection, and why being fully expressed in your relationships can be so damn freeing.But we also get into something I think so many of us need to hear:Your sex life doesn't have to get smaller as you get older.You can keep learning.You can discover new kinds of pleasure.You can get better at asking for what you want.And you can stop treating intercourse as the only thing that counts as sex.Susan shares her approach to arousal, why she has certain non-negotiables around her own pleasure, and how understanding what your body needs can change the entire experience.We also talk about sexual wellness as we age, including hormones, changes in genital tissue, and some of the treatments and products Susan has explored personally and professionally.And then we get into a conversation I really don't want you to miss: STI testing, herpes disclosure, and how we can create more honest, less shame-filled conversations about sexual safety.Susan shares her own experience living with herpes, and we respond to a listener who is struggling with disclosure and feeling rejected by their community.I love this part of the conversation because it gets right to the heart of what ethical non-monogamy asks of us.Not pretending there's no risk.Not shaming people for having an STI.But learning how to talk about our health, our boundaries, and our choices so everyone has the information they need to make decisions for themselves.In this episode, we talk about:Susan's decades of experience with consensual non-monogamyHer relationship with her husband and boyfriendBuilding a family around honesty and authentic self-expressionWhy sex can get better as we ageExpanding our definition of sex beyond intercourseUnderstanding arousal and communicating what your body needsSusan's bedroom non-negotiablesPleasure, body image, and getting out of your headSexual wellness and changes that can come with agingHormones, regenerative treatments, and Susan's personal experiencesSTI testing and sexual safety conversationsHerpes disclosure without shameWhy “clean” and “dirty” aren't helpful ways to talk about STI statusMaking informed choices about sexual riskHow sex-positive communities can do better at supporting people through difficult conversationsThis episode is full of curiosity, laughter, and the kind of candid conversation that makes me remember exactly why I started this podcast.Because we deserve to talk about sex like it's a normal, important, pleasurable part of being human.And we deserve to keep learning about it.Enjoy this Rewind with Susan Bratton.Note: This is an archival conversation. Susan shares personal experiences, opinions, and information about sexual health products and treatments. Some medical claims, recommendations, and product details may have changed since recording.

Planned Parenthood has been under attack in Texas for years. This has resulted in a lack of access to affordable healthcare, lack of access to birth control, and worsening maternal health outcomes. Shellie Hayes-McMahon, Executive Director of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Texas, which is the 501(c)(3) arm of Planned Parenthood Texas Votes, sits down to talk with us about the perfect storm of attacks to reproductive health and rights in Texas, which provides a perfect blueprint for other states who wish to follow suit. The current push at the national level centers on defunding Planned Parenthood via Medicaid. Patients who lose their Planned Parenthood provider in Texas cannot just find a new provider. In fact, the state is currently seeing a decrease in providers generally, as well as medical students. Cancer screenings, birth control provision, critical counseling, and more, are services that are becoming increasingly more expensive for Planned Parenthood to provide, while crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) are receiving millions of state dollars. In Texas, public school-provided sex education is abstinence-only, while misinformation around birth control is currently skyrocketing. The nationwide attacks on mifepristone, one of the safe and effective drugs used in a medication abortion, began in Texas. For more information, check out When Science Finds a Way: https://wellcome.org/insights/podcastSupport the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.socialBuy rePROs Merch: Bonfire store Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

Dr. Amy Muise, an Associate Professor of Psychology and York Research Chair in Relationships and Sexuality at York University, directs the Sexual Health and Relationships (SHaRe) Lab, where she studies how couples build and sustain desire over time. In this episode, Dr. Amy breaks down why sexual desire declines even in happy relationships, the data behind planned versus spontaneous sex, and what actually predicts romantic chemistry. She also covers the surprising link between household labor and desire, and how to think about first dates without over-relying on "the spark."References:Art Aron: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_AronDr. Amy Muise: https://discover.academics.yorku.ca/Amy.MuiseEric Tu: https://erictu.ca/Lorne Campbell: https://www.psychology.uwo.ca/people/faculty/Campbell.htmlSHaRe Lab: https://www.amymuise.comYork University: https://www.yorku.caTimestamps:00:00 Introduction01:40 How one undergrad thesis led to a career studying relationships02:46 Why sexual desire, specifically, became her research focus05:43 The myth that desire stays high in a "healthy" relationship08:00 Familiarity, novelty, and the self-expanding experiences that sustain desire10:00 Is there a normal amount of sex to have12:38 The gender gap in desire, and why it exists13:32 How an unequal household load quietly lowers desire20:58 The overwhelming, mostly false belief about spontaneous sex22:44 Rebranding planned sex like planning a vacation26:58 Should more couples be planning sex?28:57 The five ingredients of real romantic chemistry32:45 Why 40% of happy couples felt no spark at first34:44 What a first date can, and can't, predict36:52 Why relationship scientists struggle to predict compatibility39:00 Beyond small talk: the "fast friends" questions that build closeness46:50 Destiny vs. growth beliefs, and why growth wins49:34 The craft Amy is spending a lifetime honing

Women spend so much time trying to change their bodies, but how often are we taught how to actually experience and enjoy them?In this conversation, I sit down with Emma-Louise Boynton to explore what happens when we begin reconnecting with our bodies through pleasure, presence, and curiosity rather than constant criticism. We talk about body image, intimacy, sex therapy, self-pleasure, mindfulness, and the small everyday practices that can help you feel more at home in your body.Because your relationship with your body affects far more than how you see yourself, it shapes how you experience your life._MORE ON EMMA-LOUISE BOYNTONPleasure: The Reclamation of my Body by Emma-Louise BoyntonInstagram: @emmalouiseboyntonLinkedIn: Emma-Louise BoyntonSubstack: @emmalouiseboyntonPleasure: The Reclamation of my Body Audiobook: SpotifyWebsite: emma-louseboynton.comFor more resources related to today's episode, visit the podcast episode page: drmindypelz.com/ep367Connect with Dr. Mindy:Join Reset AcademyWatch the episodes on YouTubeFollow Dr. Mindy on InstagramSubscribe to Dr. Mindy's newsletterDisclaimer: This podcast is intended for educational and informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.

Sexual health is not separate from whole-body health. Hormones influence our muscles, metabolism, mood, cognition, energy, relationships, and how we age.In this episode of the Wise Divine Women Podcast, Dana Irvine sits down with George Ibrahim for an eye-opening conversation about sexual health, hormone optimization, testosterone, peptides, regenerative medicine, and the importance of becoming an active participant in your own healthcare.George shares his journey from traditional urology into regenerative medicine and explains why sexual health often provides important clues about what may be happening throughout the rest of the body.Together, Dana and George explore the hormonal changes that occur as men and women age, including the gradual decline of testosterone in men and the misconception that women simply stop producing hormones after menopause.They also discuss the growing interest in bioidentical hormone therapy, testosterone therapy, peptides, cognitive health, muscle preservation, and longevity—and why treatment should always be individualized rather than based solely on age or a single laboratory number.George explains how peptides are emerging as another tool within regenerative medicine, with potential applications involving recovery, cognitive health, body composition, wellness, and healthy aging.One of the strongest messages of this conversation is the importance of health advocacy. If you know something feels different in your body, keep asking questions. Finding a knowledgeable practitioner who listens, investigates, and understands hormone health can make an enormous difference.Chapters00:00 – Introduction to Sexual Health and Hormones02:42 – The Journey of George Ibrahim05:31 – Understanding Hormones in Sexual Health08:28 – The Importance of Testosterone for Men11:16 – The Role of Hormones in Mental Health14:00 – Finding the Right Provider for Hormone Therapy16:40 – Peptides and Their Impact on Health19:20 – Cognitive Health and Peptide Therapy22:08 – Advocating for Your Health24:51 – Conclusion and Final ThoughtsSupporting Your Own Hormone & Whole-Body HealthYour symptoms are information.Changes in energy, sleep, libido, mood, cognition, metabolism, muscle mass, digestion, or how you feel in your body can all be signals worth exploring rather than simply accepting as “normal aging.”For support with hormones, metabolism, breast health, digestion, and whole-body wellness, visit DanaIrvine.com and book a Health Clarity Call.

Social media is creating unrealistic expectations out there around sexual health, particularly for young people. Today is World Sexual Health Day. We look to debunk some of those myths out there with Dr Ronan Daly, Clinical lecturer and registrar in obstetrics and gynaecology at the Rotunda Hospital and the RCSI.

Crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) are unregulated storefronts that exist as a way of pushing out anti-abortion misinformation and blocking people's access to care through deception, shame, delay, and intimidation. Tara Romano, Executive Director of Pro-Choice North Carolina, talks to us about North Carolina's CPC landscape.The term "crisis pregnancy center" refers to anti-abortion facilities that mislead, confuse, delay, misinform, and purposefully re-direct pregnant people looking for education and services, including abortion care. North Carolina has 16 abortion clinics and approximately 100 CPCs, which are typically clustered around college campuses. CPCs in the state began receiving money from the sale of “Choose Life” license plates and $350,000 from general funds in 2013. By 2023, the number was closer to $20 million. Because these are not medical centers, they do not have medical restrictions or medical privacy restrictions. Map photo citation: Swartzendruber A and Lambert D.

Today's Book: Yes, Your Kid: What Parents Need to Know About Today's Teens and Sex by Debbie Herbenick, with Kristen Soulé and Susan Stone (Little, Brown Spark, 2023).Author site: https://debbieherbenick.comBook page: https://www.littlebrown.com/titles/debbie-herbenick/yes-your-kid/9780316566077/“Not my kid” is a myth. In this episode, we review Yes, Your Kid and talk porn literacy, rough sex, vibrators, AI, and how to be an actually askable adult for the teens in your life. We dig into Dr. Herbenick's research on the rise of rough sex, why nobody seems to know anything about the clitoris, and how parents and caregivers can talk about porn, sexting, and sex tech without freaking out their kids (or themselves). We also highlight one of our fave parts of the book: a full chapter on sex on the spectrum, written with neurodivergent youth in mind. Oh, and Canada geese.Resources we mention:National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior (NSSHB) overview: https://kinseyinstitute.org/research/publications/national-survey-sexual-health-and-behavior.phpBreathless Campaign (rough sex & choking resource, Australia): https://www.breathless.org.au/

Work with a Muscle Intelligence Coach: https://www.muscleintelligence.com/apply/   Dr. Nathan Bryan has spent 25 years researching nitric oxide, the gas your body produces to open blood vessels and move oxygen into every cell you have. In this conversation he explains why production drops roughly 10 to 12 percent per decade, why a man in his forties is often operating on half of what he had, and what that decline shows up as first. Ben and Dr. Bryan cover the symptom hierarchy of nitric oxide deficiency, why sexual function is the earliest signal and what it says about the rest of the arterial system, why 50 percent of men prescribed PDE5 drugs get no benefit from them, why arginine and citrulline based products do not restore production in men who need it most, and the everyday habits that quietly shut the whole system down. They also get into what has to be in place before fasting, sauna, training and supplementation can do what they are supposed to do, and Dr. Bryan walks through his own daily protocol at 50 with the vascular age of a 32 year old. Top 5 Takeaways 1. Why sexual function is a vascular readout, not a bedroom problem. 2. You lose 10 to 12 percent of production every decade, and by 40 to 50 you are running on half. 3. The three ordinary daily habits are shutting the system down. 4. Why most of what is sold as a nitric oxide booster cannot work, and for some men it makes things worse. 5. Why nitric oxide is the prerequisite sitting underneath every protocol the avatar is already running.   Chapters 00:00 Why This Conversation Matters for Men Over 40 04:25 What Nitric Oxide Is, and the Hierarchy of What It Breaks First 08:50 How Fast You Lose It: 10 to 12 Percent Every Decade 10:12 Mouthwash, Fluoride and Antacids: The Daily Habits Shutting It Down 13:13 Why the Food Supply No Longer Delivers the Nutrients You Need 16:07 Glyphosate, Heavy Metals and the Toxin Load 17:26 Inside the Endothelium: How the System Actually Breaks 20:11 Glycocalyx vs Endothelium: What Each One Does 22:01 Why Most Nitric Oxide Supplements Do Nothing 24:23 The Arginine Paradox and the Trial They Had to Stop 27:55 What Your Pre-Workout Is Actually Doing 28:52 Where to Start: Remove the Blockers, Then Restore Production 31:24 Sunlight, Infrared, and Nitric Oxide Storage 32:57 Dietary Sources, and Why They Fail Without the Right Bacteria 34:04 Viagra and Cialis: Why They Do Nothing for Nitric Oxide 37:43 Plant-Based vs Carnivore Through a Blood Flow Lens 40:52 Greens Powders and Beet Products: What the Testing Shows 42:25 How Nitric Oxide Is Actually Measured 46:15 Rebuilding the Oral Microbiome and Stomach Acid 50:55 The Foundation: Why Nothing Else Works Until This Does 53:41 Dr. Bryan's Daily Protocol at 50 57:07 Hyperbaric Oxygen and Tissue Repair 59:25 Proteolytic Enzymes and the Understand-the-Mechanism Rule 1:03:31 Statins, Cholesterol, and the Wrong Target 1:07:06 What Actually Causes Cardiovascular Disease 1:10:34 Where to Find Dr. Bryan   Connect with Dr. Nathan S.

Send us Fan MailA “full panel” STI test sounds like peace of mind until you learn what it often leaves out. We sit down with Robert Johnson, founder of Shameless Care, to unpack the testing blind spots that can quietly miss infections, especially when oral exposure is part of your sex life. His turning point is painfully relatable: a partner flags possible gonorrhea, he feels totally fine, and he is staring at a negative result from the week before. The catch? No throat swab, no real clarity.We get specific about how STI testing actually works in the real world: why blood and urine alone may not be enough, why most STIs are asymptomatic, and why “full panel” is not a standardized button your doctor can click. Robert also explains how shame changes what people say in the exam room and how that can snowball into incomplete care. If you have ever walked out of a clinic thinking you were tested for “everything,” this conversation gives you better questions to ask and a clearer way to read your results.Then we zoom out into prevention and modern sexual health tools. We talk PrEP as an HIV prevention breakthrough, U equals U and what it means for transmission, and DoxyPEP as a promising option that also raises real concerns about antibiotic resistance. We also highlight vaccines like HPV and hepatitis B as practical, cancer-preventing steps that too many adults still miss.If you want smarter, shame-free sexual health information that you can actually use, listen now, share this with someone who dates, and leave a review so more people find it.

Trigger warning: This episode references child marriage, maternal death, and suicide.August 15th marks the fifth anniversary of the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan. Gender-based discrimination is a tenet of the Taliban's policies, which is being enforced and institutionalized across the country. We hear from Metra Mehran, a self-described person exiled from Afghanistan during the Taliban takeover in 2021, and who now focuses on advocacy work related to gender apartheid with Amnesty International, about how this gender apartheid has unraveled. In Afghanistan, there is a systematic level of discrimination that impacts every single facet of life for women and girls. Women cannot work, go to school beyond primary school, or have freedom of movement. The enforcement and institutionalization of this gender discrimination funnels into the crime of the grand-scale gender apartheid being perpetrated in Afghanistan. Child marriage has peaked in the past five years, interrupting a girl's inability to finish their education. Women and girls face higher rates of domestic violence, reproductive violence, and suicide. And while underground schooling does exist, girls seek education at extreme risk to themselves and their families.Advocates are pushing to use the International Criminal Court to use the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Violence (CEDAW) and take Afghanistan to international Criminal Court. Conversations to include gender apartheid in treaty negotiations are also a testament to the strength and power of the women of Afghanistan.Support the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.socialBuy rePROs Merch: Bonfire store Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

Reproductive rights, LGBTQI+ rights, and democracy cannot be discussed in isolation; fundamentally, they are all about who has the freedom to make choices for themselves, and each one affects the other. Cristina Uribe, Chief of Programs at the Collaborative for Gender + Reproductive Equity (CGRE) and Director of the Gender Equity Action Fund (GEAF), sits down with us to explain how these topics are deeply interconnected.Attacks on women and LGBTQ+ communities weaken our democracy by pitting Americans against Americans and creating enemies out of neighbors. Opponents of these communities—and democracy at large—understand these connections and use strategies like ballot measures and wedge issues to divide coalitions and erode rights. Responding to these coordinated attacks requires coalition-building, commitment to civic engagement, and a recognition that attacks to one group's rights ultimately threaten everyone's freedoms.For more information, check out That Aged Well: https://pod.link/1446333312Support the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.socialBuy rePROs Merch: Bonfire store Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!
