We’ve all been there. Everyman, no matter big or small, healthy or sick, young or old - has realized, one way or another, that his penis can defy his brain’s directions.

What happens when we listen to our dicks not working versus try to “fix” them, as we do with everything else?

Two of my longest standing friends from high school and I, take turns to share three stories from our early twenties, where we first experienced the dreaded penis-not-working syndrome for different reasons.

This is followed by a raw roundtable Q&A that produced an honest conversation.

I guarantee you. You will not hear anything of the sort anywhere else.
