I spent 12 months on an immersive journalistic foray to discover everything that a man could do to enhance his sexual health. I engaged in ancient ayurvedic practices like reduced ejaculation frequency. I went off and did crazy medical treatments like a gainswave shockwave treatment. I did a platelet rich plasma injections. The article culminated in a stem cell injection, you know, where I even went to different facilities and purchased so called gas station dick pills to see what happens when you overdose on essentially the equivalent of Viagra and ephedra at the same times for the sweaty palms and the near heart attack feeling that you get from different sexual supplements out there. And just basically did everything one could do to enhance sexual health. And it turns out there is a lot. Highly recommend that with your w. With your husband, you schedule or calendar some sort of regular one on one retreat. We like to do two to four times a year where it's just my wife and I going off on some adventure that will include date nights, dinners, adventures, tennis, pickleball, hiking, chatting one on one. We even have these chairs called backjack chairs that we put in our bed that allow us to sit leg straddled with each other and just talk face to face for hours on end while we're sipping a glass of wine and just enjoying each other's company. You have to calendar it, you have to be intentional about it. And this is not just stuff for young googly eyed newlyweds, right? This is the stuff that keeps a couple together for life. At the time of this video, I've been married happily for 21 years. There's many more valuable years to come and those are just a few of the tactics that I use to maintain romance and maintain a healthy sexual life in my own relationship.
