This is Part 3 of a 6-part series on erectile dysfunction. This week: the conversation.

Less than 60% of men experiencing ED talk about it with their partners. That means more than half are keeping it to themselves—and silence creates distance.

In this episode, Stacey shares two contrasting stories: one where pretending ruined the experience, and one where honesty created intimacy from the start. Then she breaks down how to actually have the conversation.

In this episode:

• When and where to talk about ED (hint: not right after it happens)

• What to say and what not to say

• Expanding your definition of sex

Talking about it won't fix the ED, but it takes the pressure off. But once you name it, you liberate yourself.

Next week: Part 4. The partner experience and the questions they're secretly Googling.

Thoughts? Need adjustments?
