Dr. Trish Leigh: Why Young Men Are Getting Performance Issues So Fast | DSH #1787


Listen Later

P*** didn’t used to be like this.
Now it’s 100 tabs at once, endless novelty, and a dopamine loop that’s quietly breaking a generation of men.
In this episode, Sean sits down with returning guest Dr. Trish Lee (author of Mind Over Explicit Matter) to talk about what she’s seeing on the front lines: p*-induced performance issues**, “edging” behavior, dopamine dependency, relationship breakdown, and why so many young men are ending up on TRT without asking the real question: what’s driving the dysfunction?
They also go deeper than p***: social media, paid-content platforms, dating apps, “simp culture,” toxic masculinity, and how the algorithm rewards hyper-s****l content + drama while real life starts feeling “boring.”
Most importantly: Dr. Trish lays out how dopamine regulation is fixable (neuroplasticity), what a “digital dopamine detox” actually looks like, and why healthy masculinity isn’t loud… it’s regulated.
What you’ll learn 👇
✅ Why “edging” can be one of the most damaging habits
✅ How dopamine overload desensitizes the brain (and kills real attraction)
✅ Why performance issues are rising fast in young men
✅ How social media rewires relationships and desire
✅ Why men chase paid-content + dating apps for dopamine (even while married)
✅ What dopamine reset actually requires (and what people forget)
✅ Healthy masculinity = calm presence, emotional control, leadership
✅ How to curate your feed so the algorithm stops feeding you garbage
