The Emotions of Erectile Dysfunction with Tiffany Anton

Erectile dysfunction is more than a physical experience – it is an emotional and psychological experience with far reaching impact. On past episodes, we covered Performance Anxiety and performance pressure. Performance based erectile dysfunction is a very common sexual experience – but often leads to emotional responses that can slip into downward spirals, sometimes even ending relationships. Erectile dysfunction is deeply emotional for ALL partners involved – and our reactions sometimes bring out the very worst parts of ourselves. Women respond with rage, anger, jealousy or resentful caretaking. Men respond with anger, sadness, humiliation and despair. There HAS to be another way to respond to such a common and predictable sexual event! Sex therapist Tiffany Anton offers us profound wisdom and actionable strategies to respond to erectile issues with compassion, humor and maturity. She invites us into a new definition of sexual success that is both supportive of generating erections AND creating sexually fulfilling experiences for both partners whether or not an organic erection is present!

So recently I have been in beautiful conversations with several of you dear podcast listeners and patrons supporters, about the emotional experience of Erectile Dysfunction from both sides of it, both having the experience of performance based erectile dysfunction and also being the partner of someone with this experience. We’ve been exploring a lot of the downward cycles that can get started with the very common physiological experience of not having an erection when you want to have one, and not having an erection that is reliable or consistent with your experience of arousal. So, you feel turned on, you want to be in the present moment of the sexual connection but your genitals do not respond with an erection. What happens then? And for so many of us what happens then is moments of feeling rejected...
