Foreign hello there modern man. I'm Dr. Anne Truong, sexual health specialist. I've treated over 7,000 men. In today's episode we're going to talk about what is the best position if you have ed. Now the most optimal sex position is personal, but I'm just going to recommend some position that will maximizes relaxation for you, minimizes physical exertion and allow you to focus on the intimacy and stimulation without unique pressure on performance. Now there's no single best position for every individual, but certain positions are consistently recommended by by sexual health experts and therapists for the benefits of managing ed. The most recommended position is actually partner on top. So that way the man lies on his back, his partner straddles him and faces him or faces away. This position allows the man to fully relax and reducing muscle strain and potentially improving more blood flow to the penis also is less work, less pressure for him. Now the second position is spooning where both partners lie on the side with the man from behind. Because this is a gentle, low energy position that promotes intimacy and minimizes physical effort. Because you want to avoid using muscles that are in your buttocks, your legs, those are the big muscles of your body and it consumes a lot of energy. It will also sometimes take away blood flow from the penis to the buttocks and the leg muscles. So you want as much blood flow as you can down to the penis and that's where you want the firmness for because remember when you have an erection you need 40 times more blood flow down there to make it effective. So back to spooning. Spooning is especially helpful if the erection is partial or if your erection fluctuates as penetration can be maintained even with softer erection. So this is a plus plus plus. Other position is doggy style which allows you to maintain stimulation. The worst position you want to be in is missionary where the man is on top because it requires a lot of exertion in your buttocks and in your legs and it may even divert blood flow down to the penis. So unfortunately the missionary position is a position that is traditional but yet will cost you some blood flow. So something to think about. Okay modern men, you are not alone and you don't have to suffer anymore. ED can feel isolating, frustrating and even defeating. The endless guessing, the quiet shame, the weight of not feeling like yourself. It's exhausting. But here's the truth. You are not broken. You are not alone.

Check out the course@getwoodnow.com I'll see you there. So why did these position work? Because it reduced physical strain on you. As I was talking about before, when you're lying down or when you're side lying, it require less muscle effort allowing more blood flow to the penis where it matters the most. And it also enhances relaxation so less pressure for you to perform and more focus on intimacy and can lower your anxiety so you can focus on the moment and on your partner. And also it allows your partner to control the rhythm and the depth and kind of taking the pressure away from you and provide more stimulation for you as well. And it's really a position of intimacy where you can look at each other, you can touch and provide more closeness and therefore more arousal, more connection, better erection. Now additional tips. In the last episode I talked about when is the best time to have sex. Most preferably probably in the morning. So if you have ed, just know that your erections are often the strongest in the morning. So take advantage of this and and plan your activity in the morning. Also additional tips is open communication with you and your partner about comfort preferences and any anxiety may really reduce the pressure and improve your sexual satisfaction. And also don't downplay foreplay and stimulation because extended foreplay, manual or oral, and focusing on erogenous zone can really help maintain arousal and erection quality. I know there is no universal best position, but those that allow the man to relax and reduce physical strain, especially with the partner. Controlling the rhythm is probably most beneficial for men with ed. But experiment and find out what feels most comfortable and and pleasurable for both you and your partner is the key. I hope you find this helpful. Let me know what you think about this episode. Let me know what is your favorite position that worked for you? I'm always interested in that.
