In this episode, Dr. Brandon breaks down the real reasons behind porn-related erectile dysfunction, explaining why the problem often starts with anxiety—not porn.

00:00 – Does Porn Cause Erectile Dysfunction?
Dr. Brandon opens with a common question from clients—does porn actually cause ED?—and sets out to clear the air.

00:27 – Understanding Erectile Dysfunction and Research Quality
She explains why not all studies are created equal, and how bad research online can lead to big misunderstandings.

01:33 – The Chicken and Egg Dilemma
Often, ED came first—guys already dealing with anxiety or shame may just blame porn because it's easier to point the finger.

02:20 – Emotional and Psychological Factors
From body image to relationship stress, Dr. Brandon breaks down how emotional baggage can quietly mess with arousal.

04:16 – Impact of Masturbation Habits
Getting used to porn and solo routines can throw you off when it comes to real-life intimacy with a partner.

05:51 – Conclusion and Advice
If something feels off, don’t jump to conclusions—understanding the real cause is the first step toward fixing it.

In this episode, Dr. Morgentaler and Dr. Brandon talk about why fewer people are getting into relationships, touching on politics, independence, and the rise of AI as a substitute for real connection.

01:34 – The Impact of Political Differences on Relationships
Dating today feels harder because politics are turning potential partners into enemies before we even get to know them.

09:52 – AI and the Future of Relationships
With AI chatbots offering comfort on demand, more people are turning to screens instead of real human connection—and it’s changing everything.

13:17 – The Importance of Human Connection
Even though relationships take work, nothing replaces the emotional, physical, and soul-level support that comes from being truly seen by another person.

14:51 – Combating Loneliness and Depression
The more we isolate, the more we spiral—loneliness feeds depression, and the only real way out is reaching out to someone who cares.

20:48 – Balancing Masculinity and Femininity in Relationships
For relationships to feel alive and exciting, we need to embrace our differences—strength, softness, backbone, and tenderness all have a place.
