🚨 What happens when shame becomes the foundation of sexual education?
In this episode of TwoX Labs Podcast, Dr. Erika Miley sits down with Dr. Nicole Prause, a neuroscientist and leading researcher on sexuality, to break down the rise of the manosphere and NoFap culture—and the real damage these movements are causing. Yes TwoX Labs is about cis-women and assigned female at birth people, and this episode is important for providers to know what some of their cis-male clients/patients are exposed to and how it is impacting their cis-women partners.
🔍 NoFap, semen retention, and other anti-m*sturbation ideologies have gained massive popularity online, promising men control, power, and "masculine success." But what does the science say? Dr. Prause dives into how these movements spread misinformation, increase shame, and reinforce toxic masculinity—harming cis-men's mental and s*xual health in the process.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
