 How much do you know about the anatomy and function of the penis and testicles? Does penis size matter? Pippa says the answer is no! We explored the role of testosterone in men, debunking some common myths about it.

 Sex for men is complicated – getting an erection, sustaining an erection, not coming too soon, or too late. Pippa explains the ladder of medical treatments that men can use to help with erections and the link between the lack of erection and heart disease, primarily due to the role of blood flow and vascular health in both conditions. If a man has any problems with getting an erection, he should see his doctor. However, ejaculation problems are often more difficult to treat. Pippa has encountered many men resorting to black market treatments to solve these issues, including injecting unregulated substances into their penis.

 We also discuss what men need to consider if they want to have children.

 And Pippa explains testicular, penile, and prostate cancer.

 Men’s reproductive health remains a taboo subject, and it’s time to break the silence—encouraging men to talk openly, both with each other and with their doctors.
