In this powerful and deeply honest episode, Eve sits down with Xanet Pailet — former healthcare attorney turned sex and intimacy coach, bestselling author, and retreat leader. After leaving a 20+ year marriage that had become largely sexless, Xanet began a transformative journey of healing sexual shame, trauma, and emotional disconnection.

At age 50, she realized that desire doesn’t disappear because of aging or hormones — it fades when emotional safety erodes, communication shuts down, and the body stops feeling invited into the relationship.

In this powerful and deeply honest episode of Please Me!, host Eve welcomes Brent Dowlen, relationship and personal development coach, podcast host, and creator behind multiple shows including Driven To Thrive Broadcast and Dad Hat Shenanigans.

Together, they unpack the rarely discussed realities of men’s sexual health, including performance anxiety, shame, stress, and identity — and how these factors deeply impact intimacy, relationships, and mental health.

Brent shares candid personal experiences with erectile dysfunction caused by stress and exhaustion, shedding light on how strongly many men tie sexual performance to masculinity and self-worth. The conversation explores how fear, shame, and societal expectations can quickly turn sex from a source of connection into a source of anxiety — and what men (and their partners) can do to interrupt that cycle.

This episode also dives into foundational habits for long-term sexual health, including sleep, nutrition, hydration, exercise, stress management, and honest self-assessment. Eve and Brent address the men’s mental health and loneliness epidemic, the outdated “playbook” men are still handed, and why vulnerability is often encouraged in theory but punished in practice.

The episode concludes with a realistic and educational role-play conversation, modeling how couples can communicate desires, boundaries, fantasies, and consent — proving that healthy sexual communication can be awkward, playful, respectful, and deeply connecting.

Erectile dysfunction, stress, and exhaustion

Shame and fear surrounding sexual health issues

When men should seek support for sexual health concerns
