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.

#ErectileDysfunction #PornAndSexualHealth #UnderstandingArousalIssues

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.
