CBT as a Treatment for Psychogenic Er*ctile Dysfunction

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.

Clock changes and ED: Understanding SAD

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.

Importance of Exercise for Mental Health and for Better Erections

Today, we are joined by Dr. Josh Walters, a physical therapist from Fort Worth, Texas, who will share a unique view on the connection between physical fitness and sexual health. He specializes in male pelvic health and sports therapy, and as a USA weightlifting coach, Dr. Walters knows how exercise affects both our mind and body.

Recent research has shown strong connections between regular exercise and improved mental health. Whether it's cardiovascular exercise, resistance training, or even tai chi, physical activity helps regulate stress, boost mood, and enhance overall wellbeing. Dr. Walters emphasizes that consistency matters more than perfection when starting an exercise routine.

Peyronie's Disease: Impact on Mental Health, Body Image, and Relationships

Today, we are joined by Dr. Petar Bajic, a board-certified urologist and director of the Cleveland Clinic Center for Men's Health. 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.

The Importance of a Growth Mindset When Addressing ED

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.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition affecting many men as they age, causing urinary symptoms and potentially impacting s*xual function.

Ozempic's Impact on Sexual Function

Today we are joined by Dr. Rahul Mehan, a renowned urologist, who sheds light on the impact of Ozempic on sexual function, particularly in relation to erectile dysfunction. He is also the founder of Snip City, which specializes in vasectomy procedures.

 

Ozempic, a semaglutide-based GLP-1 agonist, is widely recognized for its effectiveness in managing blood sugar and promoting weight loss, making it a popular choice among those battling obesity and diabetes. However, as its usage expands, there's growing interest in understanding its broader impacts, particularly on sexual function. Recent studies, though limited, have begun to shed light on potential side effects, including a modest increase in the incidence of erectile dysfunction and lower testosterone levels in some men using the medication.

Cool Down the Rhetoric: A S*xual Health Perspective

Our recent episodes have primarily been interview-style, featuring guests and experts in various fields related to sexual health. However, we have received requests to bring back solo episodes and we plan to bring this format back at least, on occasion. This episode isn't about politics, voting preferences, or gun control. It's about the pervasive atmosphere of stress and its effects on our mental and sexual health. High levels of sustained stress are detrimental to the body, mind, and erections. The relentless news cycle contributes to widespread anxiety, fear, and tension. This intense environment affects everyone, often subconsciously.
