Erectile Dysfunction for Folx with a Penis

Today we are talking about erectile dysfunction for penis owners. I want to acknowledge that this is a difficult topic for folx. The penis has long been elevated to this all-powerful feature of humanity and that is a lot of pressure to carry around every day. This is a drag because the over-the-top cultural expectations on performance isn’t helpful for anyone of any gender. We’re just going to touch on one aspect of that concept today- it’s an important and ongoing conversation. I just want you to know that you if you are dealing with this issue from any perspective, you are not alone. Lots of people have ED and the good news is- there are lots of solutions.

I want to emphasize that this episode is for folks who have erectile dysfunction and want to change this. You don’t have to have a rigid penis to experience arousal, intimacy, or satisfying Sex. There are many ways to be sexual. That topic is an ocean’s worth of material by itself. It can take time to change the way we think of pleasure, but a good start is simply removing the penis from the center of your activities. Doesn’t mean it’s not important- it just doesn’t have to be all there is. I’ll be offering a podcast on that topic soon.

Get ready to hear about:

· Some basic anatomy and physiology of penis erections

· Common causes of ED for folks with chronic illnesses

· Popular treatments for ED

· A solution for erectile dysfunction that you might not have heard of

Here is the Choice Designs Pro Webpage for the X1000. The discount code to get $100 off at checkout is “ChoiceX1000”. As Cody says, here's your chance to turn ED into BDE! Oh yeah!

Here are the links I promised:

· AASECT website for a list of certified sex educators

· The Kink Aware Professionals (KAP) directory from NCSF

· Erectile Dysfunction: A Review of Comprehensive Treatment Options for Optimal Outcome by Kathryn Retzler ND.

· Here is the International Index of Erectile Function Questionnaire, before you go to a specialist about ED, they often have you fill this out ahead of time. It can give you an objective idea of your level of erectile dysfunction

Finally, I want to show gratitude to the artist Meghan Trainor. I used a two-second clip from her song "NO" a couple of times. I'm not making any money off of this podcast and using this clip just tickled me and gave me immense pleasure. I just think that it is so ironic that male-bodied people have to have an adequate amount of nitrous oxide or "NO" in their system to get and maintain an erection. In other words, penis owners who have lived their entire lives within the patriarchy need to deeply understand the power of "NO!" to keep that hard-on going. As I said, it amused me, but I'll take that clip out if anyone complains.
