This is Part 1 of a 6-part series on erectile dysfunction. Not the mechanics or the fixes —we'll get to that later. This episode is about the part nobody talks about… the emotional weight.

In this episode, Stacey explores what it feels like to live in a body that's changed. The heartbreak and the inconvenience. The way masculinity gets hitched to erections.

In this episode:

The pressure to maintain an erection
3 ED archetypes: pretenders, withdrawals, and searchers
Why ED feels lonely despite billions of targeted ads
How shame keeps men from speaking up
