Relationship Communication About ED: Scripts That Actually Work
The evidence-based course that gives men the exact words to have one of the hardest conversations in a relationship — and come out closer on the other side.
What You'll Master
Erectile dysfunction affects 52% of men at some point — yet fewer than 1 in 5 couples ever have a direct conversation about it. This course bridges that gap with clinically-informed scripts, timing strategies, and emotional frameworks drawn from sex therapy research and relationship psychology. You'll learn to replace avoidance with honest, productive dialogue.
- The 4-phase framework for raising the topic without blame, shame, or defensiveness
- Word-for-word scripts for initiating the conversation at any relationship stage
- How to manage your partner's reactions — surprise, worry, frustration — in real time
- Collaborative treatment exploration that positions you as a team, not a patient
- A 30-day communication plan for ongoing sexual health dialogue
