Do the sex Think fun, honest and feminist as fuck, and always with the goal of fighting the patriarchy. One female orgasm at a time. Welcome to the locker room. Today's topic is harder, healthier, longer. What your erections say about your heart. With Dr Elliot Justin.
Speaker 1:Erections aren't just about pleasure although that is what I have primarily focused on, for sure but they are also a powerful indicator of cardiovascular health, and in this episode, me and my guest are going to dive into the health indicator side of what's going on in your pants, but also we're going to tie it all into pleasure and performance. This is the power trilogy. We're talking about all the important things that have to do with the erection. So you're going to want to stay tuned for this podcast because it's going to change how you look at your dick and take care of your health. But before we dive in, I want to remind you guys that I have recently launched an OF page where you can find my intimacy, how to, to's demonstrations and guided meditations. You can also find some of that content over on my sub stack. Now you can find me in both places with the handle at TalkSexWithAnette, and of course, I will be putting all of those links in the description of this episode. Now, the good news is for those of you who aren't into spicy sites, I've also launched an online store where you can download this content. You're going to go to TalkSexWithAnette and you're going to find all of that there for you to download and have, because you deserve content that improves your intimate life.
Speaker 1:Now let's get into it. My guest today is Dr Elliot Justin. He is a physician, entrepreneur and the founder of FirmTech, a pioneering company at the intersection of sexual wellness and cardiovascular health. With a background in emergency medicine, he has seen firsthand how erectile dysfunction can be an early warning sign of heart disease and other serious conditions. Through FirmTech, he's leveraging innovative sex tech to help men track their performance, optimize pleasure and gain critical health insights, all while enhancing their sex lives. Welcome. I would love for you to tell my listeners a little bit more about you before we embark on this incredible conversation that I'm very excited about.
Speaker 2:Thanks for the opportunity to be here. Yeah well, unlike most doctors, I've always been to sex and from an early age it got me into trouble. I think I'm probably the only doctor I know whose mother took them to a urologist when they were a teenager, not once but twice, because she was worried that their masturbation habit would mean they would not get into college. Anyway, here I am, mom. So that's deep background. I live in Montana and I own horses and I sometimes have the illusion that I'm a centaur, that I'm one with my horse, which can be a dangerous illusion. And several years ago it led to my crashing into a tree and breaking six ribs and six vertebrae. And that got me interested in what's been done to rehabilitate men or women who have spondylitis injuries, rehabilitate the sexual function specifically. And that led to my having a urology professor at the University of California, san Francisco, implant an electrode by my pudendal nerve, my cavernous nerve, everyone's two favorite nerves that most people haven't heard about. But the nerves are responsible in men and women for arousal and orgasms. What I want to do is see if I could neuromodulate human sexuality like a cardiac pacemaker only sex pacing, it didn't work.
Speaker 2:But a urology professor at the University of Utah heard about this experiment, which I call Project O for obvious reasons, and he said he wanted to count the number of nocturnal erections that men have because they're a leading indicator of man's cardiovascular health.
Speaker 2:And I said, really I never heard that and we all know about morning wood and none of us want dead wood, but I was unaware that the average man at that time I think he was four, four to five erections, actually three plus erections, and three to plus erections per night. And if that number goes down significantly, if I man goes from three to one or two to zero, that man has a 50 chance of having heart attack in the next two years. So this is truly a vital sign. We and so this this really excited me and this doctor, like most doctors, unfortunately, is what I call a cock ring version. He had no experience with cock rings. So my thought was let's not just count nocturnal erections, let's embed sensors into a cock ring and measure not just nocturnal erections for their significance about cardiovascular health, but let's measure erections while guys are fucking, which is what they really care about.
Speaker 1:Right, right, that gives a lot of information. So that, my friends, is what we're going to be talking about, all of that, what that means. We're going to talk about the health aspect. We're going to talk about the indicator aspect and the performance aspect and how you can track it, how you can improve your health, improve your performance. So there's your reason to stay to the end. Plus, I've got a little surprise for you at the end. So you're going to want to listen to this all the way through. It's going to be packed with information that's vital to your health, if you're a man or someone with a penis, or you love someone with a penis, right. So tune in, and I want to just dive in. Let's get ready to talk about dicks. Can we do that?
Speaker 2:Let's do it, I'm ready.
Speaker 1:Yes, cheers, cheers. All right, I want to kick off with a big question how exactly are erectile function and cardiovascular health connected?
Speaker 2:Well, you can't get an erection without blood flow. So the incidence of erectile dysfunction goes up 10% per decade after age 40. And as men get older they get diabetes, hypertension. And as men get older, they get diabetes, hypertension, atherosclerosis and other conditions that have an impact on both the pump, the heart and the arteries that come out of the heart. And now, with our device, we've learned that it's not just those two things that are important, it's also the other side of circulation, the venous return, and also all three of these three. If someone has erectile dysfunction, all three of these areas need to be looked at. Is the heart pumping enough blood? Are the arteries putting enough blood into the penis? And are the veins, specifically the smooth muscles around the veins, holding the blood in the penis? Or are they weakening Mm-hmm around the veins holding the?
Speaker 1:blood in the penis or are they weakening? So what are some of the conditions that might be at play if a man starts to have erectile dysfunction? Like most of the time, when men start to have erectile dysfunction, their first concern, of course, is intimacy, but it can be an indicator of so many things, correct? One of them is obviously your heart health. But what else?
Speaker 2:Well, it's also medications we doctors prescribe I call them the cock and click killers and they are antiphypertensives and necessary antidepressants For women. There's also birth hormones as well too, and these medications, often in combination, have a significant impact on a man's ability to get an erection, sustain an erection or or have an orgasm. And we doctors don't ask we, you know, we doctors in general uh, delicate, you know. Sex is the least important, least important body system. We don't, we don't ask people what's what's going on. So then there's obviously other things as well too. There's alcohol, drug use, performance, anxiety. All these things can interact with each other. But I like to break the doctor's group. A man who can't sustain direction can't excuse me. I'd like to say that a man who can't, uh, stay hard enough to penetrate, that's, that's this dysfunction. I'd like to break it down a little bit more than that for your viewers especially. There are men who can't attain an erection. That's the minority of men with erectile dysfunction. A man who can't attain an erection is not getting enough blood into his penis or is neurologically dysfunctional. Those men need a cardiologist and need a urologist. They need to work up. But that's not most men's problems. The 85 percent of men who are classified as having rectal dysfunction. Most of them actually have rectal disappointments. Their issue is they get an erection and then they lose it.
Speaker 2:Now how do you figure out why you're losing it? Now? We you know, so you can. Is it psychogenic or performance anxiety? Is it alcohol? Is it medication? Is it a disease like diabetes or hypertension? And this is where our device is a game changer for medical care and for research, because you can't hack it unless you can track it. So without data, we're lost. And we live in this incredible age of healthcare wearables, smart watches, smart rings, smart bands, smart scales and this gap which is sex. And that's the gap that we fill, and I think it's the area of probably most interest to men and women. What do men care more about? How many steps they took yesterday or what's going on while they're trying to have sex? So we need to deliver data to men, just the way we do in other areas of health. You and I are both of different genders, different ages.
Speaker 2:If we went to a doctor with a complaint that hey, my pulse feels irregular when I work out, and the doctor said, oh, annette or Elliot take this pill, it would be the same pill for both of us, because that's how dumb we are on medicine. Take this pill and come back in three months. We would think what the fuck is this? Uh 1900? You got electrocardiogram in the office. You got a blood pressure cuff. You're going to take some blood tests? Have my little proteins. We would expect that the health, their decision making, to be data driven. When it comes to men and women's sexual health, the decisions made by doctors, the recommendations made by doctors, are based upon conjecture, not upon data. And when there is data, it's generalized data, it's one size fits all. Hey man, you have ED, you need Viagra or Cialis, as opposed to hey Elliot, what is really going on? What is your data showing about you? And, by the way, if we can give you something, you now can monitor it with a device, just the way we do with blood pressure or weight reduction, etc.
Speaker 1:Right, right, you want to actually get specific data about an individual person which is going to help you figure out what exactly like more than generally, is happening in their body, especially if it could be life-threatening, correct. And I think that it's hard for people to equate what's going on with a dick with overall health, which blows my mind. I'm like, well, I've been beating this drum. I'm like your sexual what's going on with you sexually indicates what's going on with you physically and in your mental health, all of it. It's like a thermometer for all of that. So what does a healthy erection look like from a medical standpoint? What is like when a guy gets this hard on? He's like I'm in good health, look at my cock.
Speaker 2:Well, there are several parameters. One is the number of nocturnal erections that a man has. A healthy man has three plus nocturnal erections per night. Well, without the device you wouldn't know that, and you just alluded to something earlier that's really important for your listeners, which is you can detect heart disease or deterioration in your diabetes or hypertension with your dick because the number of erections goes down. That's significant that we're aware of the cardiac catheterizations because of the device, because they are the they. They got the device and they had one. Guy had no nocturnal erections and the guy went from three down to one and then he went to a doctor and got a cardiac catheterization. So what's going on with your dick? And the urologist called the penis the canary in the coal mine of cardiovascular disease, and so people need to pay attention to it.
Speaker 1:Your dick can save your life. Your dick can save your life.
Speaker 2:Listen to your dick, especially on the night shift. So the number of nocturnal erections is important and also how hard they are is important. So if a man has three-plus nocturnal erections per night and we rank nocturnal erections on a one-tenth scale in terms of firmness, we rank nocturnal erections on a one-tenth scale in terms of firmness. And if his average firmness of his nocturnal erections is over 7 or 7.5, and that man is having difficulties in bed, the issues are likely to be psychological or situational. Psychological in the sense that he has performance anxiety, or situational in that, okay, at night you're fine, but when you're drinking too much or smoking too much pot or doing something when you're having sex, that's interfering with your performance and that's really important for people and for the partners to understand, because there's a lot of shame and guilt and embarrassment that goes on between couples and data can really shed light on what the issue is.
Speaker 1:That's fascinating. I want to re-summarize that because if you and we're going to get to the device that can help you track what's going on with a penis at night in a minute, but and I know so many people that are wearing the watches I did for a while, or the rings that track the quality of sleep, their steps during the day, so they can see what's going on so this isn't a device that can be worn at nighttime. But here's what's interesting I never thought of it Because you get hard-ons at night. That sort of takes out the whole performance anxiety side of it. So that's just the physical function of it.
Speaker 1:Now, during the day, if you're having problems with an erection, but at night you're getting hard, like hard as can be, it is a great indicator that, hey, you're healthy, but something's going on as far as anxiety or, like you said, drinking before sex, which can really ruin it. And that's a great way to rule out, because I know a lot of men, the minute they start to have dick problems, they're like I'm worried about you, know what's wrong with me, what's wrong with me physically, and they can't tell if it's anxiety or something physical. And this is a great way to like know, like get that answer right that's right.
Speaker 2:By the way, annette, how many wrecks did you have last night? I have no idea there's no idea, because women women have them as well too, and we can talk about that later on, but we're assuming that they're just as significant women as they are men, right? So we've made two really important discoveries. The thought among doctors and the treatment protocols for ED were based upon research done in the 90s that involved just a couple hundred subjects. We documented 57,000 erections, so we have this enormous database. So the thinking was this Dick, database.
Speaker 1:Call it what it is it's a dick database.
Speaker 2:Dick database and doctors should be minding this and I'm minding this for information. And doctors should be minding this and I'm minding this for information. So the thought was the incidence of erectile dysfunction goes up 10% per decade after age 40. And therefore the doctors are thinking the number of nocturnal erections should go down because, as more men get diabetes, hypertension, atherosclerosis, have problems, the number of nocturnal erections should go down and the firmness, hardness of sex erections should go down and the firmness, hardness of sex erections should go down as well too. Well, that's not what the data shows, why? So what's really going on? Why is the function going up but men are staying just as hard?
Speaker 2:No, I don't want to derogate heart disease. I want to exclude from these two findings. If a guy's had a heart attack, if he's had a stroke, if he has congestive heart failure, these are men with significant problems and these are men who utilize my technology will quickly realize. I don't have three plus nocturnal directions per night, I only have one. But for the vast majority of men, ed goes up and hardness remains pretty much the same. Well, that means that the doctors are approaching this the wrong way. The doctors are thinking it's the pump or it's the arteries that are coming out of the heart. So we try to make the heart pump stronger. Or we give men the PD-5 medications, which are Viagra and Cialis, the two big cells and they put more blood into the penis but they're not good at keeping there.
Speaker 2:And a man who can attain an erection which is the vast majority of men but loses it. They're getting blood into their penis and putting a little more blood in their penis is nice, but it's not solving the problem. The problem is on the other side of the circulation. So as we get older, our microvascular, our small veins and muscles around the small veins, gets weaker. So you're quite young. You might not have experienced this yet, but you might have. But I'm 70, I'm going to be 72 next week. If I sit on a plane for five or six hours, my socks get a little bit tight, my rings get a little bit tight. Didn't happen to me when I was 30 years old, 20 years old. Why? Because as we get older, the venules, the little veins get stiff and the muscles around them get weak. Now every erection ends in blood leaving the penis. Every erection ends in a leakage, of a venous leak. The solution is not a pill, because the pills put blood in. They're not keeping the blood there. The solution is a mechanical solution.
Speaker 2:That's a cock ring, and I didn't. When I got involved in this I got. When I was challenged by a urology professor to do this, I was thinking about data, and the data is really important to figure out what could be causing dysfunction. But the solution became obvious as we looked at the data and spoke with our customers and our patients, which is that men benefit from a ring. Now, guys don't get this so, and when a man is worried about losing his erection, he gets anxious. Even you met my wife a little while ago. We've been married 37 years. We have a lot of sex, but I can have performance anxiety. Oh, I've had a little bit too much to drink or I'm preoccupied by something going on with work. Maybe we should make love tonight, but I really could make love if I were more confident. Well, the ring is a profound confidence builder because it is putting the right amount of our rings designed for comfort. It's putting the right amount of pressure on the veins coming out of the penis to hold the blood in the penis, to hold the blood in the penis. We've even discovered that the ring a cock ring, for most men is as effective, if not more effective, than 10 milligrams of Cialis to Delafil.
Speaker 2:Well, that's a game changer for the way in which doctors are approaching erectile dysfunction, and I don't want to call it dysfunction anymore, I want to call it disappointment. The guys who can't attain erection, can't get an erection. That's dysfunction. Can't get an erection, that's dysfunction, their organ is not working. But guys who can attain an erection and lose it is that dysfunction or is it just something that's easily correctable is going on, and I want to change the male mindset too, because, look, you're quite young, but I'm old, I'm.
Speaker 2:You know, when I practice our practicing medicine late 70s and 80s, women were described as frigid, anorgasmic, hysteric, and the feminists said fuck those things. We're not going to talk about women that way. We're going to talk about them more, possibly. But we talk about men really negatively and this makes guys embarrassed to talk about it Limp dick, impotent, can't get it up, but ED, these are, so we need. I want to talk about things more positively. If you're having erectile disappointments, you can probably fix it. If you get an erection or losing it, you can fix it.
Speaker 2:I'm going to give you an example of a patient I had, if you don't mind, like about a week ago two weeks ago got called up by a really wealthy guy in Missouri who just spent $16,000 trying to fix his erectile dysfunction, both on the conventional medical side and then the alternative medical side. He'd been red light therapy, laser therapy, prp injections, pd5 medications, testosterone. His dick wasn't working. I asked him and he told me no doctor ever asked this question. I asked him no doctor ever asked this question.
Speaker 2:I asked him what happens when you're having sex with your wife? Well, I, uh, I I get hard, then I go down on her and I lose my erection, and then she wants me to penetrate her um, he spoke more graphically than that word. But then he's like I want to penetrate her and then I get it hard again and then I lose it. Okay, so what do you feel when you penetrate? Nothing? Okay.
Speaker 2:What about when you masturbate? Oh, that's different. Well, what do you feel when you penetrate? Nothing? Okay. What about when you masturbate? Oh, it's different. Well, why do you feel nothing? I think the reason how many? How many children did your wife have? She had five kids and she's in her 60s. Well, of course he feels nothing. He's not getting the friction that he needs. He doesn't have erectile dysfunction, he just he needs support on the venus side. He he bought our maximum performance ring and was able to have sex with his wife pantry of sex three nights in a row. And so he did. If the doctors had asked him the right question, he wouldn't have had to spend $16,000.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:He needed to spend. He needed the doctors to help him figure it out, right? He also bought our tech ring first, and he had nocturnal erections, so he realized that his penis was capable of functioning well. He had a psychological problem.
Speaker 1:Right and a friction problem. So it was an easy, like a much quicker way to figure out exactly what was going on. Also, I would like to point out to my listeners my guest is 75. I would not have guessed that 72. 72. I was like Jesus. What vitamin are you taking, sir? And still has an aggressive, a fulfilling full sex life Aggressive? I was just imagining how that might look, but yeah right.
Speaker 2:Sure. Well, I think it's important to plan for pleasure, so I want to have sex every day, just the way I'd like to eat a good meal every day. So I think, once you get into the habit, it's relatively easy. You can't work out your smooth muscles, which are necessary for sex, in the gym. You got to work them out in the bedroom, either with yourself or with a partner.
Speaker 2:I do take testosterone after two years and that's interesting too, because I don't really need it, but I was curious what would happen. Like many men, so several of my scientific advisors, who are urologists and prescribe testosterone regularly, they thought, because they don't have any data, they're guessing. Their conjecture was that I will have more nocturnal erections and they'll last longer and maybe they're harder. Well, that didn't happen, because I don't have any trouble getting blood to my penis. I don't have heart disease. What did happen, though and this is subjective and for men and your listeners who are considering TRT, they should think about this my upper body strength increased by 8% to 10%, and if a man is going to start on TRT one, I think you should get a tech ring because you want to see what's going on in your dick, but two, just put a tape measure on your biceps and your pecs and see what happens. Women should do the same thing too if they're taking TRT.
Speaker 1:Well, I was going to say, because I know women are now taking testosterone. I take estrogen, which I think saved my life.
Speaker 2:Why don't you?
Speaker 1:take testosterone. I don't think I under well, probably because I don't understand what. I haven't looked into it enough to understand why I would.
Speaker 2:For almost all of my medical career. Until recently, there was skepticism and fear of HRT estrogen replacement therapy for postmenopausal women, and finally they realized, no, it's beneficial, but they're forgetting about one important hormone, which is testosterone. And postmenopausal women doesn't produce any testosterone. And in my prescribing testosterone to women and women who use it injection, not the cream, because the cream's absorption is irregular. But women who take injections, they get the libido of a 35-year-old back. That's a game changer, dude. I don't. I don't think I need more libido.
Speaker 1:I don't know what's going on with my libido, but she is in overdrive all the time, like it's hard for me to get through a workday sometimes.
Speaker 1:So I'm like but, but I do have that in my you know. Obviously I think it's so important. All of this information is new because in our culture we have shamed sex so much that in the medical world they haven't attended to sexual health from a pleasure perspective. And again, as we're talking here, the pleasure part of sex also is vital to your health, not only as an indicator but also as upkeeping your health, like especially well and I say especially women, because I'm in a woman's body, but I know how important for me that, like cortisone, bringing down the cortisol even for me penetrative, like masturbation or sex, it keeps my skin healthy down there. You know all of that stuff. I'm sure that it's similar for men, but of course I'm focused on keeping my stuff together.
Speaker 2:Let's talk about pleasure, then, because I got into this for the data and that's this device, the Tech Ring that has Sensor, and it's also a really good cock ring and it can be adjusted and made tighter for guys' pleasure.
Speaker 1:Can we talk about that tech ring, because we've been mentioning it a little bit. Here are my listeners, listeners. I need you to tune in Because obviously we clearly are talking about a device that can clock your erections at night. And this really caught my attention when I heard about this product, because I haven't heard of anything really like it before and it's like a combo. Right, it is a cock ring, yes, but it's also like kind of the Oura ring or the watches that you use to track your health. This tracks your sexual health, which tracks the rest of your health. So can you talk a little bit about this device?
Speaker 2:Sure. So when this professor of urology said he wanted to count the nocturnal erections but he hadn't figured out how to do it overnight, he was thinking about using conventional silicone. And I felt silicone, you know these here I have on my desk here, you know these O-rings, they're, they're, they're made the same way for a hundred less 150 years. And silicone is an uncomfortable material, it, it, it. It chokes off the penis, and who wants to put a noose upon their penis? You know it. It cuts off the blood, the arterial flow. A guy has to have an erection for it to be effective, would be effective. So we moved away from silicone into a soft, stretchy elastomer, and I have to thank my wife for that. She had a stress ball on her desk and I thought, oh fuck, let's make a cock ring out of elastomer.
Speaker 1:Then we'll embed sensors in it. So there's a pressure gauge here, yeah, so if you are not on my YouTube channel, you're not going to be able to see this. But he's holding up this device which has sort of the ring shape to it, but then it also has another part at the top of it where there are sensors, right, and it doesn't go on the penis the way most cock rings do.
Speaker 2:It wraps around. I'll show you in just a moment. But the idea for the closure came from my wife's bra. I kind of joke, and I think it might be true that probably half the heterosexual sex in a committed relationship starts when a guy is scratching his wife or girlfriend's back when she takes a bra off at night, Because silicone is an irritating material. It's irritating to the skin. I saw a bra on the ground. I thought duh, A bra is a ring that opens and closes. Women don't put on bras over their head.
Speaker 1:They have a closure.
Speaker 2:So this is I mean I'm this is he's the only cocker in the clothes with a hook. A lot of guys. I'm 72. I can look down and I can see my cock. I'm wearing pants right now, by the way, but most men my age look down and they see belly and these kind of rings, the old rings. They're hard for them to put on. This one goes on differently. I'll show you how. So. And man drops his balls into the loop. It then wraps around the loop and it's not tight, it's that tight, it's stretchy.
Speaker 1:Okay, so now, listeners, if you want to see this demonstration, you can go to my YouTube channel, hopefully, and you will see how it is put on. But it basically goes over the base of the cock, under the balls, and then it wraps up and around to the top. So, and it has a, it has a little sensor on it. My question is this because with a typical cock ring, you're only supposed to wear them for a short period of time, right? And I always think, of course, I grew up on a sheep farm.
Speaker 1:I don't know if y'all know that I grew up on a sheep farm and we would cut off. People don't realize this. It's weird, weird, fun fact about me we would. You know, one of the things you do to the baby sheep is you dock their tails, you take their tails off with something that looks like a cock ring, you just put it on there and it eventually squeezes it right off until it drops off. Gross, I know, but I think about that all too often when I see cock rings. It's something I'll just never get out of my head.
Speaker 2:You can do that to young bulls too, but let's talk about humans, right? So this is the only cock ring. Because it's not made of silicone, because it doesn't block the arterial flow in and it only constrains the venous return. It can be worn for hours and hours and hours. What I do when I'm because I try to have sex every night is I tighten, I pull the loop through the hook to tighten up around the shaft when I'm having sex and I put it the other direction overnight, so it's a bit more comfortable. It's also designed to put pressure over the urethra and to put a little more blood into the balls. Why? Because the balls are sensitive and the more if they hold a little more blood, they become more of a better secondary erogenous zone. My wife calls it a broth of balls. So we're in the google and apple stores. It's bluetooth enabled. The bluetooth is off when it's on the body to allay concerns about radiation.
Speaker 1:All the data is anonymous and I can show you, if you like, what the app, what it looks like and the information people get. So the information, just kind of like your Oura Ring would, it goes to an app that you can have on your phone.
Speaker 2:You can find FirmTech in the Google or Apple stores.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I will be getting you guys information, but go ahead. Yeah, all right.
Speaker 2:We provide people with overall erectile fitness score because we want people to think about fitness, not dysfunction. We tell them about how hard their nocturnals are, how long they last, how hard their sex erections are, how long they last. I'll show you what a recording looks like.
Speaker 1:Oh, this is fascinating. I like the idea of erectile fitness. So now, if you go over to my YouTube channel, you're going to be able to see sort of how it shows where, yeah, the erections have happened throughout the day.
Speaker 2:These are two nocturnals over here, yeah, and then on this side is my wife and I having sex.
Speaker 1:Oh, oh, look at that. That was like a little porn clip, yeah, no. So it looks like sort of what you would see on a heart monitor, basically that kind of graph. For my listeners it's like that kind of graph where you see the little lines that go up and down and you can see where they get higher and lower. So I like the idea of the erection fitness, like that's pretty, that's a pretty cool take on it, because it does tell you a bit about your fitness. So it's going to track overnight. One thing I want to dive into real quick too it also tracks performance correct, so you can wear this ring during sex, obviously.
Speaker 2:Exactly, yeah, and actually most of our 57,000 erections we've recorded, the vast majority are during sex, and with that information men can assess the impact of diseases, medications, supplements, partners upon their performance. We are all, men and women, on the road from fitness to dysfunction. Right, we all would like to know where are we on that road, and we all, ideally. If we have a problem, we'd like to reverse course. If we don't have a problem, we'd like to be able to stop going down that road. But we can't do it without data. Imagine driving a car without a dashboard. We're driving our sex lives without a dashboard. But now men can get vital information about their most vital organ and we give people notifications. In some cases, actually, we give a couple of wives notifications as well too, as in Annette, way to go, your husband or boyfriend, his erections are 20% harder than last month. Or you guys have had twice as much sex last month. You are amazing, or it could be. Hey, elliot, your erections are 20% less hard. Has there been any recent changes in your medications?
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:So the information is really important If we can switch to pleasure.
Speaker 1:Yes, I like that.
Speaker 2:Once I came up with this and I realized that there was something special about the pressure over the urethra. Women have vibrators and men have shit. They have these strokers little something you can beat someone to death with, but in terms of enhancing man's pleasure there isn't very much. So my thought was well, I think if we can put the right amount of pressure over the urethra to increase the ejaculatory phase, we can produce a more intense orgasm. So that's actually a top selling product, which is the Maximum Performance Ring. So this ring was designed to increase the average man's ejaculatory phase by 50%. My ejaculatory phase goes from four seconds to seven seconds. That's an incredible orgasm.
Speaker 2:My wife and I don't have sex without cock rings. Before cock rings were a novelty. Yeah, you go to a sex toy store. A couple of times my wife feels guilty because she just bought herself another vibrator, so she'll buy something for me. And these rings. You know she comes home with these rings and you use them once or twice. Because they pinch and they're uncomfortable, you throw them out.
Speaker 2:You know we men start masturbating when we're like 12 years old. We think we're connoisseurs of our own orgasms and ideally, of course, we get involved with someone who's better than us? I would say that my wife is, has better hands even than me, but saying but beyond, beyond, rock hard, there's cock ring hard. Nothing will get a man harder than a cock ring. No oral, manual, vaginal rectal stimulation will do that. Guys don't get. Guys need to understand this.
Speaker 2:You, you know, with this maximum performance ring on, I accomplish several things. One I increase my girth by three to five millimeters. Well, that ain't a lot. No one's gonna walk by and say, oh, porn star, but that's more blood than I can get into my penis otherwise why wouldn't I want that? If I'd be like telling a woman, hey, don't use a vibrator. So the ring increases my girth will hold. More blood in the penis increases more blood, more sensitivity. The ring also is designed to increase the ejaculatory phase. Well, if my orgasm is going to go from the ejaculatory phase is going to go four to seven, four to seven seconds, my sensation of orgasm is going to go. It's going to double. So my sensation, orgasm.
Speaker 2:Again, men are inferior to women this way. If my orgasm, sensation orgasm, is going to last 90 seconds, to you know, two minutes, and now it's going to last three plus minutes, that's incredible and and guys need to get over their inhibitions about this. Because men are so straight men associate cock rings with fetish sex or gays, and they're embarrassed to take a cock ring at the bedroom lest the woman think less of them or whatever. Whatever pride issues are involved in this, uh, and they're making a mistake, and one of the jokes we have when we go to medical shows is how you tell the difference between a gay doctor and straight doc with one question do you use a cock ring, gay doctor? Yeah, last night got a better one. And the straight doctor's oh, I don't need that. They go right to male pride. It's not about need, it's about want. If men want to rock harder, last longer, have more intense orgasm, be more confident, have their partner be more confident because that's important as well too Put a fucking ring on it Ours, of course. Put a fucking ring on it, ours, of course. Put a ring on it.
Speaker 2:My wife and I make. We make love about 50% more longer now because we're I'm confident and she's confident. So she knows if I'm going to have the ring on that, I'm going to last 30, 40, 50 minutes. Well, that allows her to relax and focus on her own pleasure. She doesn't have to worry about me losing my erection. I'm not worried about losing my erection, and if my wife wants me to do something previously, I might have lost my erection Because, look, she's 71. She's not as tight as she was when she was 22, when we first met the first time.
Speaker 2:And also, a lot of couples don't want to talk about this. We've made love in some positions thousands of times. It can be boring, and those can be confidence kills as well too. But with the ring on, hey, if you want to make love in the missionary position again before, I would have been irritated with her. I would have said, oh, I'm going to lose my erection. You know this. Why are you making me do this for more than a few minutes? And now I don't care. I got a hard one, a guy with a hard on, as you know.
Speaker 1:Annette, the guy with a hard on thinks differently than the guy who's worried about losing his erection Absolutely, and I will say that's true too. As a woman, I have definitely been in partnership with men who it's like they's going to go limp. Then I need to work on getting him hard again and it's like in my own mind I'm like is it worth it, or should I just get to business? You know, because I don't want to. You know, because then I'm trying to get him hard again and then I lose my likes, you know, all that juice I worked up so and not that I wanted to verbalize it.
Speaker 1:I know I didn't you so, and not that I wanted to verbalize it. I know you know you don't want to verbalize it, you don't want to be like, but you will. Men, if you pay close attention and I have had men ask me this they'll be like I go down on my girlfriend and like after two seconds she's like saying let's just have sex. I'm telling you this is one of the reasons, because we're like fuck, if he does it too long, then we're back to square one, and that's just true. I've never admitted that before. I've never spoken that experience before.
Speaker 2:And no man wants to tell his wife or his girlfriend or in one case it's a gay couple that I thought of the last. Hey, you're a pussy, I don't feel anything anymore. And no man wants to tell his partner I'm bored. No man wants to tell his partner I'm worried about losing my erection. Yeah, and in a ring? It's just a profound confidence change. I mean, we laugh about it. My wife's like how come you didn't invent this 20 years ago? Well, I just wasn't thinking about it.
Speaker 1:Didn't know, didn't know. So yeah, the devices guys and I'm I'm going to share links and and stuff like that with you are interested, like really caught my interest because you know, obviously, if you've been around on my channel for any time or reading my content, you know I've, I've definitely had some cock rings I I've loved, but again, this is like a whole different level of of of what a cock ring offers. And because I do have so many men who listened to my podcast reach out to me asking about different ED issues and and how do you know this from this and how do I? This gives you the ability to figure out some stuff yourself.
Speaker 1:It's hard when you go to your doctor and you say I'm having this problem and, like you're saying here, you get this sort of box answer but they don't really know, they're not like with you when you're sleeping or when you're having sex. You literally have a way to measure what's really going on when you're sleeping, when you're having sex, whenever you want to, and you can take that information too then to your doctor and give them data. It's frustrating to have sexual problems but no way to really measure it and no solid information. And this is going to give you a lot of no way to really measure it and no solid information. And this is going to give you a lot of information so you can figure out for yourself and advocate for yourself.
Speaker 2:And you get the information under real life circumstances, either when you're sleeping or when you're having sex, because if you go to a doctor, they can do an ultrasound on you in the office. But if you're like most men, when a technician snaps on their rubber gloves, approaches me, puts me some cold jelly on my dick, approaches me with a cold metal probe, that's not what's reproducing a real life situation and it's only one data point. It's not multiple data points.
Speaker 1:Right, you do get a lot of data. I love the idea of this, like being in line with sort of the aura, ring the watch and you know we are all. I think it's very common now to want to be able to track what our health is and have control of that in our own hands, and this is this is like a whole new tool for you, and then on top of it, it's going to improve things during sex and give you pleasure during sex. There is a new add-on for it, for some of us.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the add-on's cool. The add-on was my wife's idea, because once you take a ring and and you open it up, you can slide things on and off the ring. So we call it the ring mate, for obvious reasons. It sits like that. The vibrator is right over where the average clearance is, which is 3.5 centimeters away from the base of the dorsal penis. So the vibrator is not in the ring itself, because that's in a bad position. It only comes with three speeds, because that's what women want, and it's also designed to be taken off the device and used with the fingers.
Speaker 1:Right, what do I?
Speaker 2:like.
Speaker 1:So to make sure my listeners are keeping up with this, there is an add-on to the ring that is a vibrator that can be clicked on to this ring for during sex. That then provides vibration to the woman's clitoris. If you go to my YouTube channel, you can see how that all comes together, how it all comes together, and so now it, even like this device, goes beyond the measurement, the keeping you hard, providing him pleasure. It now can also provide her pleasure, so that's pretty cool as well.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it makes. It makes I want to our female users it makes climaxing. Climaxing especially on top, women on top, you know very, very easy. But also can be taken off and used with fingers. So this is I'll get graphic with you If you're having sex with a woman from behind, this can get very fatiguing to a man, or to a woman for that matter.
Speaker 1:You're missing the hand movement if you're a listener, but you know the reach around the good old reach around.
Speaker 2:This turns you into a sex robot.
Speaker 1:Right, so you add it onto your hands and now you've got, your hand becomes the vibrator. That's yeah, that's great.
Speaker 2:And a lot, of, a lot of my wife demonstrated this for me a lot, you know. Like the wand vibrators, women complain about them too, because this is not. This is not a comfortable position for the wrist, and whereas if it's just being, you know, held in the fingers, it's really easy to use. It also can go inside the vagina itself, which we discovered, and then the vibrations are at the tip of the penis. It's intense for the guy, intense for me at least. So it's a multifunctional device. But this is what we're working on. This year we're going to come out with some Q4. This is the world's first monitor of the health of the clitoris.
Speaker 1:Oh, so you.
Speaker 2:This is the world's first monitor of the health of the clitoris. Oh, so you're coming up with something, so women will be able to get the same health benefits. They'll have a vibrator. But the vibrator is not new. But there's no way right now for women to utilize to assess the health of the clitoris and the impact of diabetes, hypertension, atherosclerosis medications, antihypertensis, antidepressants, hormones upon the health of the clitoris.
Speaker 1:Right. So for my listeners, he is holding up a device that he's working on right now that will be doing the same for vulva owners and people with clitorises.
Speaker 2:You know, the vagina is being addressed by other companies. I mean, the Linus Vibrator can measure PCG muscle contractions, and we'll do that as well too, and the vaginal biome is fascinating. But I'm interested in the health of the clitoris because no one has looked at that organ and it's the key organ to women's sexual health.
Speaker 1:Well, we will plan that out for a future episode to talk about that. I'm curious. It's something I don't have a lot of knowledge about, but for my listeners, so you know we've gone over this episode to talk about that. I'm curious. It's something I don't have a lot of knowledge about, but for my listeners, so you know we've gone over this. This device that has been created has allowed him to have the biggest dick database out there, which covers hard-ons, what they look like, what's normal, what they indicate. We've gone over that in this episode so far. And this is important information for you Because obviously you want to take care of your health.
Speaker 1:You also want to have a healthy sex life. You want to have solutions. I'm always asked about solutions. We've got some solutions here, so it's an option for you. It's an option for you. It's an option for you to check this device out.
Speaker 1:I was so excited when I saw it and researched it that I wanted to partner with them to help my listeners out. So, whether you are someone with a penis, a man, a woman who loves someone with a penis, I'm hoping that you will take the time to check out the information that I'll be sending you, but also, if you decide you want to give this device a try, I have a special code. It's Annette15, and it will get you 15% off the device. So you can take that code to the site. If you decide you want to try it out and start monitoring your dick health and your whole health, you can do that with my code. And kind of to sum this up, can you list off the different conditions that getting this information could expose to the user, could expose to the user what are kind of a list of conditions that users of this device will start to get information about, whether or not they may have the condition?
Speaker 2:Well, the big ones are psychogenic ED and performance anxiety, which are probably the leading causes of erectile disappointments or dysfunction in men, but also atherosclerosis, diabetes, hypertension, alcoholism, medication side effects, with the antihypertensives and SRI presence being the leading ones. So it's important Men now have the opportunity to harness data to stay healthy and hard for the lifetime of lovemaking that almost everyone aspires to.
Speaker 1:Right, because you can have sex for your whole life, right, you just have to take care of your sexual health, your whole health, and this is going to be key to knowing where you are in that journey, and I think it's really exciting and important information for people to get, and I'm excited to share that with you. Also, it's going to make sex better for you, for the person you're having sex with. Like, I don't see the lose here. It's a win-win situation. I am going to be sending you guys lots of information on this. I'm really excited that there's a new tool. I'm always excited when there are new tools to enhance people's pleasure and their health and sex life, and this one really caught my attention. Tips, information you would like my listeners people who are listening right now to know about their dicks, erections and their whole health that you think at the end of this podcast, is most important for them to take away.
Speaker 2:I think it's important for men to put a ring on it, to recognize that. Rings will enhance their pleasure, can give them vital information about their most vital organ, and also all men get fading erections as they get older. There's now an answer for that. You now can be confident, rock harder, last longer, have more intense pleasure, so I love that for them and I love that for the people who are having sex with them.
Speaker 1:Right, that's wonderful. Can you tell my listeners where they can find you? All of the products, also the information.
Speaker 2:This product is exciting, but also the information that we are getting from it. Yeah, our website is myfirmtechcom. If you click on the science section, you'll see that we have seven published papers and a lot of other studies underway. We are looking at testosterone replacement therapy, shockwave therapy it's not we, other researchers are utilizing our tools to look at these things. You'll see exciting research about how our device is as effective, if not more effective, than than 10 milligrams of tadalafil. The research is. We're really proud of the research. Uh, so go to go to my firm tech m-y-f-i-r-m-c-c-hcom. Look, click on the science section. You can also reach me personally at elliot, at my firm tech.
