Why even in 2026 is sexual wellbeing still a missing part of the conversation when it comes to healthcare, treatment and recovery?

In this episode, I sit down with psychosexual nurse specialist Lorraine Grover to explore sexual health beyond just symptoms, and to discuss why sexual difficulties and challenges are never just about the body. Lorraine talks us through how her work moves beyond the medical model and into the lived experience of patients navigating erectile dysfunction, cancer recovery, body image, and intimacy. With her career spanning from assisting on Viagra clinical trials in the 1990's, to working in prostate cancer care she shares how whenever someone presents with a sexual difficulty that she's never just treating a symptom, but looking at their context of relationships, identity, and emotional wellbeing.

Lorraine also shares current medical treatments for erectile dysfunction and other sexual difficulties, and discusses how she explores multiple treatment options with her patients and encourages them to get to know their bodies in new ways and to consider their definitions and narratives about sex. Importantly she highlights why there are so many gaps in support for patients navigating sexual changes; and why so much is still left unsaid and unheard in the intersection of medicine and intimacy.
