Sex Education For Adult Men (with Dr. Doug Carpenter)

Adult men's need for sex education is the central focus, addressing gaps in knowledge and dismantling shame around sexuality and aging. Doug Carpenter, a clinical psychologist, joins the conversation to discuss the importance of understanding changes in the male body, such as decreasing testosterone levels and altered sperm production after age 40, and advocates for regular medical checkups, including prostate exams and testosterone level monitoring, to maintain overall health. The discussion challenges common misconceptions perpetuated by pornography, such as expectations around penis size and simultaneous orgasms, and emphasizes communication and intimacy over performance in sexual relationships. Ultimately, healthy sexuality in marriage involves connection, playfulness, and a willingness to learn and adapt.
