Not Broken Project Episode #2 THE SHAME
Episode 2 – The Shame No One Sees
In this powerful episode of the Not Broken Project podcast, host Nick dives deep into one of the most hidden and painful realities men face—shame after sexual loss. This isn’t about performance anxiety or awkward moments in the bedroom. This is about the deep, isolating silence that comes when a man loses his erection, his ability to function, and with it, a sense of who he is.
Drawing from his personal experience with Peyronie’s disease, erectile dysfunction, and eventually penile implant surgery, Nick explores how sexual injury, aging, and disfigurement can crush a man’s identity. He reflects on the quiet torment—what it’s like to avoid locker rooms, to dread dating, to feel like less of a man in a world that already tells you to toughen up and shut up.
This episode is a raw, honest look at male vulnerability, the kind no one talks about. Nick lays bare the emotional aftermath of losing the ability to be sexual, and how that loss can fuel depression, social withdrawal, and even suicidal thoughts. It’s not just about the body—it’s about the soul.
But it’s not just despair. This is also the beginning of reclaiming your masculinity, redefining your worth, and saying, I’m still here. Whether you’ve gone through Peyronie’s, ED, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), or the emotional wreckage of aging, this episode is for you—or for the man you love who’s been suffering in silence.
Topics covered:
- The emotional cost of Peyronie’s disease and ED
- Why male shame is invisible but deadly
- The truth about penile implants and reclaiming function
- What no one tells you about aging, intimacy, and identity
- The silence men are taught to live in—and how to break it
