If you've noticed a drop in semen volume, don't just blame your testosterone.
Ignoring early signs of ED doesn't just hurt your performance; it can actually
lead to permanent physical shrinkage. Today, I am breaking down the hidden
causes behind low volume, why your brain is actually your primary sexual organ and
the exact daily protocols to fix it. We'll cover the lifestyle changes you need and
why using a penis pump and regular masturbation are medically necessary to
protect your function. Let's dive in.
This podcast is for you, the Modern Man. I'm Dr Anne Truong, your host. I'm an
intimate health medical doctor and best selling author of the book, Erectile
Dysfunction Fix. I'll do a deep dive into sexual health and performance and how it
affects men of all ages and backgrounds. So let's get started, and be sure to visit

information and resources from the show. See you on the inside.
"I don't have any more sperm. Nothing comes out. No feeling down there, and
mental stimulation." I'm not sure what meaning mental stimulation. Well, first of
all, are you talking about sperm or you talking about semen? And you said I don't
have any more sperm coming out, so I assume you're talking about semen. And so
there's several reason why if you're not able to get enough semen, right? It could
even be dehydration. It could be that your prostate is enlarged. It could be
something going on with your testicles. It could be that your pelvic muscles are weak
and it's not able to expel out the semen volume. It could also be that your
testosterone level is low. So if you're not able to ejaculate, and you really need
to be evaluated by urologists because you need to look at your prostate size, need
to look at your testicles, need to look at your testosterone blood level, and get
your pelvic muscle checked. Because sometimes you have weak pelvic muscle that
you're not able to expel out the semen from the prostate. Because semen is stored
in the prostate. It needs to be literally expelled out during ejaculation. But if
your pelvic muscles are weak, it's not going to be able to do that. So that is
the recommendation there.
I'm not sure what you mean by mental stimulation, because guys, if you're
feeling that you are less aroused or your libido is low, you're not as aroused with
someone that usually is you aroused with. Then one, get your testosterone level
checked. You need to know what your testosterone level is because testosterone
affect libido. And then two, if you're watching porn, stop it because sometimes
porn will affect your arousal mechanism that starts in your brain. So porn is now
more common, more easily accessible now. Because you can watch porn on your phone
now. It's more easily accessible, and porn will mess up with your arousal mechanism
in your brain. If you don't get aroused in your brain here, nothing's gonna go down
below the belt. Because an erection starts with arousal first, but you're not getting
aroused. Check your testosterone level. Check if you're doing porn. Stop porn, and
then also other thing too is: Are you depressed? Are you anxious? If you're
depressed and anxious, then that's gonna affect arousal as well too. Are you
stressed? Because when you're stressed, that's gonna also affect arousal. So there
are several things that affect that. Because there are six systems that
stimulate interaction, and the the brain is the largest sexual organ, the brain,
your brain is the largest sexual organ that stimulate interaction. Not your
penis; it has to start in your brain. That's why you have morning wood. Morning
wood happens when you're asleep. When you're asleep, your brain is relaxed.
You're relaxed. You're not thinking about things that stresses you out. You're not
depressed. You're not anxious. You're relaxed, and you and you're in deep sleep.
That's why morning would happen because you're totally relaxed. And also your body
start to make testosterone at nighttime. And the peak level, your testosterone is
actually around seven A.M. So the point that I'm trying to make here is that
you're aroused when you're relaxed. The more relaxed you are, the more aroused you
will be. And that the brain is the largest sexual organ, so everything has to start
in the brain. How do you get aroused? You get aroused by five senses. So through
touching, through seeing, through smell, through what you eat. Your food will
actually will affect your arousal mechanism. And also your ears, what you
hear. Those are the sensory feedback that will send messages to your brain, which
then is processed through your emotional status. Like, are you depressed? Are you
anxious? Are you relaxed? That gets processed through it. And then the
hormones in your brain gets released. Would then send messenger to the nerve in
the back of your brain, would then travel down to your heart, which then pump higher
and then open up your blood vessels, and then to your penis. So the penis is the
last organ, but everything starts here. Three steps start in here in the brain. I
can't tell you how important your mental status is and relaxation is to having an
erection. The more relaxed you are, the better your erection is. All right? The
more relaxed, the better the erection. So that's why you have morning wood. In fact,
you have about three to six erection while you're sleeping, without even knowing it.
Okay, so it's important how the brain is impact upon the erection.
And sometimes when you have no feeling down there, Anthony, it could be a sign of
also low testosterone as well too. And sometimes when you're masturbating too
forcefully, that can affect feeling down there as well too. How much is too
forcefully? When you start having bruising, when you start having swelling
in your penis, that probably too much forcefully right there. My point here is
that your sexual health is important, but it's very common to start losing it as you
get older or as you get busy. And so if you start working on reversing your ED
when it's early, the chance of getting it back 100% is a lot easier than if you wait
10 years. You wait until ED medicine stop working. Well, by that time, there's too
much damage by that, right? It's like it's like fixing your car. Fix your car. You
want to fix it when first having problem. You don't want to wait until you're
driving and the smoke start coming out of your car, right? So take care of your body
like you will take care of your car, and you will find out it goes a long way. I
hope that I can make that clear to you all. And don't try to chase after a shiny
object. Okay? Don't try to chase after something new, something like improve
man's body. It's innate program. You are programmed to have an erection, and it's
one of the oldest system in the body. Your body wants to have you have an erection,
so you don't want to add anything different in your body for your erection.
And so you don't want to have that struggling with that. You need to know
that you need to know start with your ED, fixing your ED early, that way you can get
full reversal. You wait too late; it's gonna be take only hard to reverse it.
Nothing is impossible. I work with a man, and he had ED for 40 years, and we're able
to reverse his ED for functioning again. So nothing is impossible, but it takes
work. One thing I want to point out to you is that you can reverse your ED, but it
takes work from you. Yes, you. You have to put in the work. Even if you come and see
me in your office, I can boost you and get things started, but you still have to put
in the work of eating better, exercising, of sleeping, and then stress reduction.
You do all that, you're going to reverse it. But if you don't, it may not. Because
we all want an easy button, but our body is not cooperating with that because our
body's a lot older than the computer and an easy butt. And so the key here is that
you got to put in the work. But how important that is to you, that is the
point that I want to make.
Okay, Modern Man. If you're struggling with weak erection, low energy, the food
you eat could be the big part of the problem. One of the best research pathways
to boost circulation, support healthy testosterone and improve sexual
performance is the Mediterranean diet. It's packed with food that open up your
blood vessel, lower inflammation, and fuel your hormone, naturally. I've seen men
notice real improvement in both energy and erection within weeks when they shift to
this style of eating. So check out the Mediterranean diet link right here below,
and get that as soon as you can. Stronger testosterone and better erection.
"As a 35-year-old man who hasn't had sex in three years, going on four. What step
would you recommend I should take to ease back to a healthy sexual life? I don't
have ED, or at least I hope I don't." Well, that's good. You're 35, and I hope
that you're in good health. I hope that you're not obese. Obese means BMI of over
30. I hope you don't have high blood pressure. I hope that you don't have
diabetes, and I hope that you don't have high cholesterol. If you do, if you have
diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, you can just follow the
Mediterranean diet, exercise to reverse those three conditions. I'm just assuming
you're a healthy guy. But if you do have high blood pressure, high cholesterol and
diabetes, just follow the Mediterranean diet and exercise. You will reverse that.
Because you're young. You can reverse. And if you haven't had sex for three, four
years, I hope you're not watching porn because porn will mess your arousal
mechanism up. So, what step would you recommend to ease back into a healthy
sexual life? What step is if you're still having morning wood, it's a good sign.
Okay? You're not having morning wood, then it's not great. But either way, I would
suggest you use a penis pump three times a week. It's more like a maintenance. I
would suggest you use a penis pump to kind of train, exercise your penis to show
what's like to have an erection. I don't know you masturbate, but there's nothing
wrong with masturbation. Masturbation is like exercising your penis. So use the
Thanks performance quickly. Go to my website at
penis pump to exercise your penis and clear the pipe once a week. Nothing wrong
with masturbation. Clearing the pipe, right? You want to clear the pipe once a
week and then use the pump about three times a week to get you that way your
penis knows what it's like to have an erection. Because when you do the penis
pump, it's gonna prevent atrophy or shrinkage of the penis. It's gonna prevent
scar tissue because you haven't had an erection in a while. Your penis would
start having a scar tissue that get developed inside the muscle, and it
actually prevent it from getting an erection. So the phrase "use it or lose
it" is so true for your penis. You don't use it, you're actually gonna find that
you're gonna lose it. So you really need to retrain your penis again to have an
erection. How do you do that? Using the penis pump. And then number two is
masturbating once a week to clear the pipes. Check to see if you have morning
wood or not. Most likely you are, and you're good with that. Just make sure that
you follow eat the Mediterranean diet. I would recommend you do a Mediterranean
diet. The Mediterranean diet will also help with your erection, but also help you
lose weight, sleep seven hours at least at nighttime, and stress management decrease
your stress. Those are the things that I would recommend for you right now, Limo,
to do is that those four things: measuring diet, exercise, sleep, stress. Use the
penis pump three times a week, and clear the pipe once a week as well. Why do you
want to clear the pipe? Want to clear the pipe because you don't want the prostate
to just be inactive because the prostate is what store semen. If you don't
ejaculate, just gonna get bogged up in prostate. So you want to kind of clear it.
That's why I call clearing the pipe. Nothing wrong with masturbation. In fact,
masturbation is an innate feeling. Your body said, you know, you need to exercise
your penis and clear the pipe.
