I was just checking if my nose was... Okay.

The last thing I want to talk to you about is a Zenpec and how this relates to everything we've talked about today, desire, attraction, sex.

Is there any early data emerging that shows any correlations?

Which makes it look longer.

Assumption is reality.

Is it possible to do studies on this type of thing?

You said at the start about knowing how to talk to your partner.

I think intimacy, desire, maybe the conversations with your partner, how to have that conversation when there's a problem.

I'm curious about on that communication point about how different genders

in heterosexual couples have different sort of taboos and things that are just a bit sensitive.

And I was looking at the variance between men and women.

And the top one for men was around performance anxiety.

So like admitting to things like erectile dysfunction, because it feels like it's so intrinsically connected to masculinity.

And you feel like a failure as a man if you can't get an erection and pleasure your partner.

And then for women, it was talking about prioritizing pleasure and asking for pleasure.

or, you know, specific stimulation around the clitoris or something like that because they don't want to be labelled as high maintenance or too much hard work, etc.

And it's interesting that on that walk with your partner, there are different things that will trigger each of you.

Other ones for women were pain and discomfort, bringing that up, body image and the mental load, explaining why you aren't in the mood.

And other ones for men are expressing non-sexual needs because it might be seen as unmanly, boundaries and rejection, communicating when they don't want sex, and lastly the script, which is discussing fantasies that deviate from the norm.

As men, though, we're just not good at talking about this stuff.
