Summary
Have you ever asked yourself:
- "Am I the only man struggling with sexual performance?"
- "How do media and p*rn warp my expectations about sex?"
- "What if stress and anxiety are secretly sabotaging my intimacy?"
If these questions echo in your mind, get ready for a candid, judgment-free conversation that pulls back the curtain on men's sexual health and confidence.
Today, Larry Hagner sits down with Alex Grendi, a sex coach for men whose expertise is rooted in his own personal battles with performance anxiety and sexual health challenges. Alex Grendi opens up about his journey from New York, his thoughts on modern masculinity, and the profound impact that issues like erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and performance anxiety can have on men’s self-worth and relationships.
Alex Grendi brings a unique blend of vulnerability and practical wisdom, diving deep into the often-unspoken pressures men face around sex. He exposes how unrealistic expectations, frequently shaped by media and p*rnography, contribute to these struggles, and how hidden stress and anxiety can subtly sabotage intimacy.
