Birds and Bees Podcast

In this episode, Braxton sits with Aleki Manu to discuss how he engages his children in learning about life, sex, and relationships. He talks about how he engages with his wife and the principles of how he lives his life.  I've received feedback that people like the logical approach to sexual education and relationships, and people want to know what it looks like in REAL LIFE. They want to know the "How do others approach this?" This is one way to peer into how others approach these topics. Take what fits for you and leave the rest.  I'd love to hear what you think of this segment.  Leki shares his approach to parenting, partnering, and being. A theme you may feel in this episode is "allowing."  The segment is here to support you in hearing real-life individuals sharing how THEY have conversations, live their life, and engage in the important matters of sexual health. This is Leki's approach. Relax and Enjoy.

What lengths do you go to meet expectations? For most men, sexual performance is one where, no pun intended, men go to great lengths for an extra inch or two. Men also compare themselves with others in regards to sexual stamina, girth and so on. Some even get alterations that are dangerous and ineffective in the long run. Today we are talking today about PE, Penis diseases, delayed ejaculation the P Shot and penis elongation.  These topics are topics people don’t typically like talking about. We are addressing them with a board-certified urologist because it really is at the heart of what many men are concerned about. We are taking these difficult topics head on because some men take desperate actions to change their sexual experience which long term causes harm.   Dr Brandeis is the Director of Clinical Excellence for GAINSWave. He has served as the Chief of Urology at John Muir Hospital for the past 8 years. As Chief of Urology he helped to start the Surgical Robotics Program at the Concord Campus in 2002.

The fear many men have is the thought or experience of losing an erection.
