- 09:42 – Addiction Myths, Young vs. Physical ED, and the Daily Cialis Option: They clear up fears about dependency, explain the difference between anxiety-based and physical ED, and explore how daily Cialis can ease performance pressure.
- 13:20 – Spontaneous vs. Responsive Desire: Why You’re Not ‘Automatically’ in the Mood: A compassionate look at how desire changes over time and why many healthy adults experience arousal after things get started — not before.
- 16:05 – “What’s In It for You?” The 3 Motivations for Sex (Self, Connection, Giving): They invite couples to reflect on personal pleasure, emotional closeness, and the joy of caring for a partner as meaningful reasons to reconnect sexually.
