311. What is Normal Penis Size? Male Sexual Performance and Anxiety

About this episode

This episode explores male sexual performance, insecurity, and healthy sexuality through a conversation with sex therapist Chris Donaghue.

In recent years, conversations around sex have become far more attentive to women’s experiences, desires, and frustrations — and for good reason. But in the process, have we stopped talking honestly about male sexuality? In this episode, Zale sits down with sex therapist and author Chris Donaghue to explore the psychology of male sexual performance, insecurity, validation, and desire. From penis size and performance anxiety, to casual sex, long-term relationships, and what actually makes someone “good in bed,” this conversation examines the fears men rarely admit out loud — and asks what healthy male sexuality could look like without shame, pressure, and distorted expectations.
