John walks listeners through his journey with erectile dysfunction, from medical therapies to the emotional toll ED took on his confidence and relationships.

- Open, transparent communication with partners can be empowering and often leads to positive, curious, and fulfilling sexual experiences, especially when partners understand the benefits of an implant.
