Sex Outside Nature Quickies are short, 5-minute dives into a specific, practical topic about our bodies and the outdoors. This one features a conversation with sexual and reproductive health specialist Dr. Justin Houman about why so many of us are focused on sexual “performance” when it comes to erections, how we don’t talk about erectile dysfunction often enough, and some of the ways biological processes, mental health, and pressure from sexual partners can contribute to anxiety around getting hard.
