In this special episode of the Erectile Dysfunction Radio Podcast, host and certified sex therapist Mark Goldberg opens up about how he began helping men with psychogenic erectile dysfunction (ED) and premature ejaculation. Originally trained as a couples therapist, Mark began to notice a recurring, often unspoken pattern in his sessions—men quietly struggling with sexual performance, not due to a physical issue, but because of anxiety, pressure, and disconnection. These conversations revealed a critical gap in support: while many men had seen doctors and tried medication, they still felt lost and ashamed. Mark realized that the traditional medical approach wasn’t enough. What was needed was a space where men could talk openly and safely about their experiences, and where emotional, psychological, and relational factors could be explored without judgment.

Today we are joined once again by Dr. Ariel Moradzadeh, a board-certified urologist practicing in Beverly Hills, California, who specializes in men's sexual health, explains that Peyronie's disease affects approximately 1 in 10 men in America and is characterized by acquired penile curvature due to plaque formation in the tunica albuginea (the lining of the corporal bodies). This condition is distinct from natural penile curvatures such as congenital chordee or corporal mismatch that are present from birth.

Sexual satisfaction is vital in relationships, but differing expectations can create challenges. Certified sex therapist Mark Goldberg discusses two key approaches: Good Enough S*x and Expansive S*x. Understanding these can enhance intimacy and address sexual dysfunction. Good Enough Sex This approach emphasizes routine and predictability. Individuals who prefer good enough sex find comfort in familiar experiences, leading to reliability and efficiency in intimacy. While this can strengthen a couple’s bond over time, it may also lead to sexual stagnation, boredom, and decreased arousal if variety is lacking. Expansive Sex In contrast, expansive sex involves exploration and novelty. Those with an expansive approach seek new experiences to maintain excitement and psychological engagement. While this can enhance pleasure and connection, it may also create pressure, especially if one partner struggles to keep up with evolving desires. This pressure can contribute to performance anxiety and even erectile dysfunction.

The 2024 election was one of the most heated in history, ending with Donald Trump’s win. No matter which side you’re on, the emotions are strong. Some people feel happy and relieved, while others feel upset and worried. This mix of feelings can cause tension not just in communities but also in families and relationships. As a sex therapist, I’ve seen how political differences can create stress between couples. When partners don’t agree on politics, it can lead to arguments and distance. That’s why empathy—being able to understand and respect how someone else feels—is so important. Even if you don’t agree, showing kindness and care can help keep your connection strong.

Mental health is deeply connected to s*xual health. Challenges like anxiety and depression can directly impact s*xual function, while unresolved s*xual health issues often exacerbate mental health struggles. The quicker individuals seek help, the better their prognosis. Prioritizing mental well-being is not just about avoiding catastrophic outcomes but enhancing overall quality of life.Globally, healthcare systems face challenges in providing affordable, accessible, and comprehensive s*xual health support. For example, treatments for erectile dysfunction (ED) like PDE5 inhibitors (e.g., Viagra) are rarely covered by insurance, despite being widely recognized as essential for many. This lack of coverage creates barriers for individuals seeking treatment and highlights systemic inequities.

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.

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.

Today we are joined by Dr. Joel Hillelsohn, a board-certified urologist at New York University Medical Center. He also serves as a clinical assistant professor at the New York University Grossman School of Medicine. Dr. Hillelsohn joins us to discuss the BPH treatment options and which ones are best suited to facilitate good er*ctile function. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition affecting many men as they age, causing urinary symptoms and potentially impacting s*xual function. While medications like Flomax and finasteride are often prescribed as initial treatments, they can have side effects such as retrograde ejaculation or decreased libido.
