In this episode I discuss with Vancouver based Conselor Justin Paulsen:

• How mental and emotional factors play a role in ED
• How stress and the nervous system affect erectile function
• Porn use and its relationship to ED
• Masculinity and identity tied to erections
• Performance anxiety
• Relationship factors
• Pelvic floor patterns and physiotherapy
• Misconceptions about kegels
• How can therapy help? (sex therapy, couples therapy)
• Successful sex’ beyond penetration
• How can people rebuild confidence after repeated ED experiences?
• Medical red flags

Justin Paulsen (he/him) is a virtual Psychotherapist, Couples Counsellor and Clinical Sexologist based in Vancouver. He works with individuals and couples on mental health concerns, relationship and communication concerns, and sexual concerns. His research background is in penis complications such as erectile dysfunction and premature or delayed ejaculation.

Justin works from a holistic solution-focused approach as he works together with clients to take a look at thoughts, feelings, and the nervous system to help you manage stressors and build stronger relationships and fulfilling sex lives - almost like a personal trainer for your emotional, relational, and sexual health! Along the way you may laugh, cry, and celebrate as you work towards your goals

He went on to complete a co-fellowship through the University of Toronto, specializing in both minimally invasive/robotic surgery as well as pediatric urology.
