info_outlineYou've heard endless discussions about ED and premature ejaculation, but there's a sexual health issue affecting millions of men that rarely gets airtime: difficulty reaching orgasm—or not being able to finish at all.
If you've noticed things are taking longer than they used to, or you're struggling to cross the finish line despite wanting to, you're not alone. And more importantly, it's not just "in your head."
In this episode, we break down:
- The real reasons this happens—from medications you might already be taking (yes, including common antidepressants) to hormonal imbalances and psychological factors most guys never consider
- Why your doctor probably hasn't brought this up, and the specific questions you need to ask
- Treatment approaches that actually work, including when to push for medication changes and what combination therapies show real promise
- Emerging pharmacological options that researchers are excited about—and what's missing from the current medical toolkit
- Why getting a proper diagnosis requires more than a quick office visit
The uncomfortable truth: There's no FDA-approved treatment specifically for this condition, and most healthcare providers aren't trained to address it properly. That means you need to advocate for yourself.
Whether you're dealing with this now or want to understand the warning signs before they become a problem, this episode gives you the knowledge to take control.
Listen now and stop wondering what's going wrong. #menshealth
