What We’re Told About Men and Sex: Myths and Misunderstandings

In this episode, we focus on the myths about men’s sexual health and sex, from the idea that men always want sex to assumptions about performance, size, and desire.We unzip male sexual health myths around STI testing, HPV vaccination for men, and why being asymptomatic doesn’t mean you’re in the clear. We also talk about breast health in men, masturbation, “blue balls,” orgasm versus ejaculation, and the belief that certain sexual behaviors define sexual orientation.Along the way, we challenge cultural scripts that say men don’t need seduction, shouldn’t struggle with arousal, and must always initiate sex. No macho myths, no scare tactics—just candid conversation, myth-busting, and permission to let men be full humans with bodies, boundaries, and needs.If you have a story, thoughts and/or a topic or question for Dr. Sue and Charlie please share your ideas here:  ⁠Show suggestionsIf you want to ask Dr Sue a sex question for the weekly Q&A you can submit it here: Ask a question
