Dr. Morgentaler's wife!
In this episode of the Dr. Geo Prostate Podcast, Dr. Geo speaks with psychologist and certified sex therapist Dr. Maryanne Brandon about how technology, porn, and AI are reshaping intimacy and contributing to a global decline in sex, including effects on young men’s arousal templates and dating dynamics. They discuss mixed messages around masculinity and vulnerability, practical guidance for parents of teens and young adults, and the importance of embodiment through activities like sports, the gym, and tai chi.
The conversation then focuses on sexuality after prostate cancer treatment—especially post-prostatectomy—including common challenges such as erectile dysfunction, orgasm-related urine leakage, depression, and poor sexual communication. Dr. Brandon emphasizes starting conversations globally (touch, closeness, connection), lowering performance pressure, planning for setbacks, and expanding definitions of intimacy beyond intercourse.
They cover strategies like urinating before sex, limiting fluids, condoms, constriction rings, incorporating rings into foreplay, modern male sex toys, and arousal-enhancing approaches such as lingerie, music, eye contact, and even selective porn use as foreplay. Dr. Brandon shares resources to find qualified sex therapists (AASECT.org and SSTARNET.org), highlights that women’s needs matter too, and explains her view that “having sex is innate, but making love is a learned skill.”
