6 Mar 2026 · 0 min
Dr. Anne Truong explains that semen volume matters less than men think and is affected by hydration, stress, and prostate health. She outlines four lifestyle changes for better sexual function: Mediterranean diet, moderate exercise, sleep, and stress reduction through yoga or meditation.
This podcast is for you, the modern man. I'm Dr. Ann Twung, your host. I'm an intimate health medical doctor and bestselling author of the book Erectile Dysfunction Fix. I'll do a deep dive into sexual health and performance and how it affects men of all ages and backgrounds. So let's get started and be sure to visit my website at sexualhealthformenpodcast.com for more information and resources from the show. See you on the inside.
Do women care about semen volume? Does semen volume matter? I don't think women cares. There's never been a study that really looked at semen volume from a woman's perspective. Men may care, but as in women, probably not. So much because remember, women also ejaculate as well. So their lubrication, it also mixes in as well too. So they wouldn't know whether how much semen it is if you're intravaginal. They may know if it's not intravaginal, right? Does volume matter? I guess everything is subjective. Volume of semen is subjective, but there are several things that affect semen volume, which is how much water you drink that day and also if you have an enlarged prostate or not. So if you have an enlarged prostate, then you will have less semen volume because the prostate clamps down on your urethra. So when your urethra comes out of the bladder, goes down, the prostate clamps down on it, and therefore it affects the amount of volume that semen comes out from the prostate. The prostate is where everything is stored. Here is like your body sliced out right here. So here is your prostate that comes out from the bladder. This is the bladder. This is your pubic bone. And the prostate encompasses the whole urethra, urethra, which is where you pee. And that goes through the penis that comes out. And this is your scrotum. Okay. So your prostate is right behind, like here, the area underneath the tape. You can literally feel it. So the prostate surrounds where the tube where you urinate. Well, is it enlarged? It will affect the amount of semen that is going to come out to your urethra. So your penis has 3 functions. It's an erection. It also allows you to have urinate, but it also, where your urethra goes in, you get your semen out. So there are several factors that affect semen volume. And also stress, performance anxiety will also affect semen volume as well. So you see where the prostate is? Every man has a prostate and it actually enlarges as you get older, which is normal. That's why you should always have a prostate exam after the age of probably 45. And the prostate exam is when the doctor put his or her finger up into your rectum and that's the only way to feel it. So we will put the finger like this. And that's how the doctor feels the prostate. It's do a rectal exam. You can't feel it from the outside. You have to feel from the inside. And that's how we know this rectal exam. And so having said that, that will determine the semen volume. I hope that helped. Where can you get the penis pump?

Okay, modern man, if you're struggling with weak erection, low energy, the food you eat could be the big part of the problem. One of the best research-backed ways to boost circulation, support healthy testosterone, and improve sexual performance is the Mediterranean diet.

I've seen men notice real improvement in both energy and erection within weeks when they shift to this style of eating.

Well, if you have ED, the supplement that you need the most is nitric oxide and probably a testosterone booster like Libido Plus. So check out our store at ednomore.com. Go to ednomore.com and check out that. You're going to need vitamin D as well. So you're going to need vitamin D. You're going to need nitric oxide. You're going to need Libido Plus.

You don't need anything else. Don't try to go for any weird stuff as well. If someone can't afford Virginia, go to Virginia for the program. What home options are there the best? Well, what home options are the best? I will tell you, all right? You're gonna have to put in the work, David. Getting your sex life back is like weight loss. You gotta put in the work. You've got to do the work. So what that means is there's 4 things that you can do to get, work your way back to having your erection again. First thing is diet. Follow the Mediterranean diet, which is eating clean. Eat what the earth grows for you. The earth doesn't grow chips. The earth doesn't grow French fries. Okay? Eat what the earth grows for you. Mediterranean diet, it's a diet focusing on lean meat and fruits and vegetables. You can eat your plate, fill half of it with vegetables, and eat fish, chicken, pork, and red meat about once or twice a week. That's it. That's the Mediterranean diet. Eat lots of fruit for your dessert. That's number 1, diet. Number 2, it's exercise. You need to exercise. You don't need to do a triathlon. You don't need to do anything complex. Just exercise 30 minutes, just walking, even 30 minutes, 4 times a week. That's it. Or every other day. It could be walking up and down the stairs, on the treadmill, walking outside, wherever. So it's just movement. Those 2, what you eat and exercise, will go a long way. Studies have shown that exercise is actually more effective than taking Viagra. Yes, I kid you not. But you don't hear about that because everybody takes Viagra. And the third part is sleep. Get at least 7 hours of sleep because when you sleep, your body makes more testosterone and that's when your body heals physically and psychologically. And then the fourth one, decrease stress. Men tend to internalize their stress. They don't talk about it like women do. And so therefore they tend to have more heart problems like heart attacks and strokes than women. So the best thing is stress reduction is exercise and do the thing you love to enjoy, spend time with family. You don't have to do anything else. Meditation. I recommend doing yoga or meditation that decreases your stress. Or you can wear one of the Oura Rings. I will show you my Oura Ring, but my Oura Ring is charging right now. Oura, O-U-R-A. You put it on your finger, it monitors your stress level. So you know when you're stressed. When you know when you're stressed, then you start doing box breathing. Go to my channel and look up box breathing. When you do box breathing, it will lower your heart rate. Box breathing is inhaling through the nose for 4 seconds, hold it for 4 seconds, and then breathing out through your mouth for 4 seconds. And then you hold it for 4 seconds and then inhale again. So it's like a box. In for 4, hold for 4, expel out for 4, hold for 4. That when you do that, you will notice your heart rate going down. But you will only notice your heart rate going up if you either have an Apple Watch or an Oura Ring. Oura Ring will actually catch that. So 4 things. Of course, stop smoking, stop porn, and moderate your alcohol. You're allowed to have 14 drinks a week, which is quite a bit. So moderate your alcohol. It takes work. It takes time. You're probably not going to see results until maybe 90 days, but we have seen remarkable results with our men that are in the Modern Man Club. Also recommend Good Morning Wood Smoothie. Go to goodmorningwoodsmoothie.com to download the Good Morning Wood Smoothie because if you take that every day, it actually will help quite a bit. So Good Morning Wood Smoothie.
