Summary

Sign up for my sex education class starting September 21st! www.kellycaspersonmd.com First, we need to hear the importance of erections from the male perspective. Okay, now that we did that, what should we do when couples stop having sex after erectile dysfunction. In this episode we will specifically talk about prostate cancer as an example. We learn why erections can falter after treatment for cancer. We learn how relationships change. We learn that the embarrassment in talking about this actually hurts couples because they can't think of what to do after their sex life has changed. Communication is key! But we have to start by acknowledging that this is a really really hard topic for couples to talk about. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kj-casperson/message Learn more about your ad choices.

0:34.3	for a little bit? So what I really like about this podcast is I did it coming from only the female perspective. And thinking about it, I don't think I was
0:43.2	being really fair to the male perspective. So I really started out the podcast by talking about
0:48.4	what a man thinks about erections and how erections are so super, super important. So I continue to learn with you, and I hope to expand this so that there's something for
