Welcome to HEART REACTS, an advice podcast for all of us trying to remain emotionally functional through the collapse of late capitalism.
We're back, and we have another question about men! More specifically, we have a question about getting hard, staying hard, and why it's so hard to do sometimes. (Yes, this means this is a more explicit episode than usual, because we're talking about the mechanics of sex. We should also note that neither of us are doctors, sex therapists, or in any way medically qualified, but we do link below to some resources from friend of the show Justin Hancock, who is a professional sex educator, so read what he has to say and listen to us for the giggles.
