Delayed Ejaculation: What’s Causing It—And How to Fix It | Ep. 96

In this episode, I dive deep into the often-overlooked world of delayed ejaculation—a condition that affects up to 10% of men and becomes more common with age. I break down the physical and psychological causes, including hormone shifts, nerve damage, porn habits, and emotional trauma. With candid reflections from my own experience with orgasmia, I offer a compassionate and practical guide for men (and their partners) to reclaim pleasure, confidence, and connection.Timestamps:00:00 – Introduction: Why This Topic Matters01:20 – My Personal Journey with Orgasmia03:00 – What Is Delayed Ejaculation?04:15 – Defining “Normal” Timing vs. Clinical Diagnosis05:30 – How Common Is It?
