When it comes to sexual health, the focus is often one-sided. But the reality is that sexual dysfunction is rarely an individual issue—it’s a couple’s disease.I talk with Dr. Mohit Khera, renowned urologist and past president of SMSNA, to unpack the disparities in sexual health treatment for men and women and why it’s time to rethink our approach.

Dr. Khera shares personal insights from his career, revealing how focusing on one partner’s libido or function can create unexpected challenges in a relationship. We explore the hidden world of male sexual dysfunction, from erectile dysfunction to Peyronie’s disease, and uncover why women’s sexual health still lags behind in research, funding, and treatment options.

We also tackle the controversial topic of testosterone—its impact on men and women, the myths around its use, and why it’s still inaccessible for women despite clear benefits. Dr. Khera offers actionable advice on lifestyle changes, sleep, and stress management that can dramatically improve sexual function for both partners.

This isn’t just about medicine—it’s about partnership, communication, and the power of addressing sexual health as a team. Join us for a candid discussion that might change the way you think about intimacy, health, and what it means to truly support your partner.
