Dr. Jeff Talks about Sex and Intimacy

(Audio) A Place for Us as We Are: LQBTQ+, Faith, Identity & Belonging

What if belonging didn’t require leaving parts of yourself behind? In this Pride Month I am joined by Ann Russo, LCSW, MA, Theology for this episode, A Place for Us as We Are: LGBTQ+, Faith, Identity & Belonging. We explore a powerful and often overlooked path—one where LGBTQ+ individuals choose to remain within their faith and/or cultural communities, even when that journey is complex. At its heart, this episode speaks to a universal human need: to be seen, valued, and included without having to sacrifice who we are. In a time of growing division and disconnection, this conversation invites us to reimagine what it means to create communities where there is truly a place for all of us. *The expert's opinions in this communication are personal and not representative of any organization.

(Audio) A Topical Treatment for Erectile Dysfunction: Eroxon

In this solo episode of Dr. Jeff Talks About Sex & Intimacy, I take a closer look at Eroxon, a newer over-the-counter treatment option for erectile difficulties that’s generating a lot of attention. Unlike traditional prescription medications, Eroxon is a topical gel applied directly to the penis and designed to work within minutes. But how does it actually work? Who is it best suited for—and who might not benefit? And how does it compare to well-known treatments like PDE5 inhibitors? I’ll break down the science behind Eroxon, discuss what the research shows about effectiveness and safety, and share practical guidance for men and their partners who are exploring options for improving erectile function.  *The expert's opinions in this communication are personal and not representative of any organization.

(Audio) Not in the Mood? Let's Talk about Low Desire

Low desire is the #1 sexual complaint among both men and women, yet it remains shrouded in shame and misunderstanding. In this episode, Dr. Jeff is joined by renowned sexologist and researcher Dr. Susan Kellogg-Spadt and a sex therapist for a panel discussion on desire  discrepancies.  We move beyond the myths to discuss: * Why "low" desire might actually be normal for your body/phase of life. * The difference between spontaneous and responsive desire. * How to stop "forcing" sex and start rebuilding desire. * Practical, non-defensive ways to communicate desire discrepancies with your partner and determine the best way to meet both partner's needs. If you are tired of feeling "broken" or navigating a relationship where you feel out of sync, this conversation offers expert, actionable advice for reconnecting—both in and out of the bedroom.

(Audio) From Performance to Presence: The New Masculine in Intimate Relationships

For generations, men have been taught that masculinity in intimacy is about performance — strength, control, endurance, and sexual prowess. But what if true masculine power isn’t about performance at all? What if it’s about emotional presence, safety, and connection? In this episode, Dr. Jeffrey Albaugh sits down with Mike Elliott, host of The Sacred We Podcast, who has supported thousands of men in reframing intimacy as a path to masculine liberation. Together, they explore how men can move beyond anxiety-driven performance and into embodied presence, emotional attunement, and conscious relationship. Mike shares insights on masculine–feminine polarity, sacred relationship awakening, and why emotional safety is not weakness—but strength. They discuss how redefining masculinity transforms not only sexual connection, but partnership, desire, and relational fulfillment. This conversation invites men—and the partners who love them—to reconsider what it truly means to show up powerfully in intimate relationships. Not through striving. Not through proving. But through presence. *The expert's opinions in this communication are personal and not representative of any organization. They are for informational purposes only, not official guidance.
