Speaker:
00:00:15
it affects men of all ages and backgrounds. So let's get
Speaker:

Speaker:
00:00:37
Hi there, Modern Man. In today's episode, we're going to talk
Speaker:
00:00:42
about how hard is hard enough for intercourse? I'm Dr Anne
Speaker:
00:00:46
Truong. I treated over 7000 men, and let's address this question.
Speaker:
00:00:51
Hard enough for sex is usually defined as an erection that's
Speaker:
00:00:56
firm enough to allow comfortable penetration and stay inside
Speaker:
00:01:01
during thrusting. Now there is an erection hardness score
Speaker:
00:01:06
called EHS. So clinically, there is a scale from zero to four for
Speaker:
00:01:12
erection hardness score. Now, zero is no erection. One is big,
Speaker:
00:01:18
but not hard. Two is hard, but not hard enough for penetration.
Speaker:
00:01:23
Three is hard enough for penetration, but not completely
Speaker:
00:01:28
hard. And four completely hard and fully rigid. Most vaginal
Speaker:
00:01:33
intercourse is at EHS score of three or four is considered hard
Speaker:
00:01:39
enough because it is sufficient for penetration and maintaining
Speaker:
00:01:44
it. Studies show that men who report erection at EHS of three
Speaker:
00:01:50
or four also report a high percentage of successful
Speaker:
00:01:54
intercourse attempt and better sexual satisfaction.
Speaker:
00:01:59
Men, struggling to stay hard? Most of the time it comes down
Speaker:
00:02:03
to poor blood flow. That's why I put together the Good Morning
Speaker:
00:02:08
Wood smoothie, a nutrient packed blend designed to restore blood
Speaker:
00:02:13
flow naturally. My patient often notice improvement in just a few
Speaker:
00:02:18
weeks when they take this part of their daily routine. Click
Speaker:
00:02:22
the link below to get the recipe and start boosting your blood
Speaker:
00:02:27
flow and firmness today, or go to goodmorningwoodsmoothie.com.
Speaker:
00:02:32
Now, if an erection can have penetration without using your
Speaker:
00:02:37
hand to push it in or keep it in during thrusting, it's usually
Speaker:
00:02:42
hard enough. If it's repeatedly been slipped out or cannot be
Speaker:
00:02:47
inserted despite arousal that's typically below the hard enough
Speaker:
00:02:52
scale, or EHS of two or lower, and also fit ED criteria. This
Speaker:
00:02:56
will mean that when you're not hard enough, that means you're
Speaker:
00:03:01
not getting enough blood flow that comes from the heart, that
Speaker:
00:03:06
goes to the blood vessels, and then that goes to the penis in
Speaker:
00:03:11
order for the penis to become firm and rigid. And that could
Speaker:
00:03:16
be possibly from high blood pressure, high cholesterol,
Speaker:
00:03:20
diabetes. It could be from medication. It could be from
Speaker:
00:03:25
overweight, porn, not enough sleep, stress, and also even
Speaker:
00:03:29
relationship problem and depression, anxiety. So multiple
Speaker:
00:03:34
factors that contribute to it as well. And in my last video, and
Speaker:
00:03:39
you can check out here, I talk about the different age range
Speaker:
00:03:44
that the older you are, you're more predisposed to having
Speaker:
00:03:48
medical condition that will give you ED versus if you're under
Speaker:
00:03:53
40, then it's more likely due to lifestyle, such as smoking,
Speaker:
00:03:58
vaping, stress, inadequate sleep or porn that is contributing to
Speaker:
00:04:03
your ED. But ED is not only for older men.
Speaker:
00:04:06
Okay, Modern Man. If you're struggling with weak erection,
Speaker:
00:04:10
low energy, the food you eat could be the big part of the
Speaker:
00:04:14
problem. One of the best research pathways to boost
Speaker:
00:04:18
circulation, support healthy testosterone and improve sexual
Speaker:
00:04:22
performance is the Mediterranean diet. It's packed with food that
Speaker:
00:04:27
open up your blood vessel, lower inflammation, and fuel your
Speaker:
00:04:31
hormone, naturally. I've seen men notice real improvement in
Speaker:
00:04:35
both energy and erection within weeks when they shift to this
Speaker:
00:04:40
style of eating. So check out the Mediterranean diet link
Speaker:
00:04:44
right here below, and get that as soon as you can. Stronger
Speaker:
00:04:48
testosterone and better erection.
Speaker:
00:04:50
A point to know is that it depends on blood flow, and blood
Speaker:
00:04:54
flow depends on condition that cause inflammation or
Speaker:
00:04:57
endothelial damage, and that's usually there's a condition I
Speaker:
00:05:01
mentioned before. But the main point here is that if you notice
Speaker:
00:05:05
that you're not hard enough for penetration, and this happened
Speaker:
00:05:09
frequently, go get your blood work done, guys. A simple blood
Speaker:
00:05:13
work done to rule out whether you have diabetes. Get your
Speaker:
00:05:16
blood pressure checked. You need to check to if you have high
Speaker:
00:05:20
cholesterol, maybe even inflammation. All that can be
Speaker:
00:05:24
discovered through blood work. And check out the video that I
Speaker:
00:05:28
talk about blood work here, what doctor need to order for you for
Speaker:
00:05:32
ED. Particularly, also check out your testosterone as well. Check
Speaker:
00:05:36
your total testosterone and check your free testosterone
Speaker:
00:05:40
together. So the point I'm trying to say is that if you
Speaker:
00:05:43
feel that you're not hard enough for penetration and you're
Speaker:
00:05:47
frustrated, go get blood work, go see the doctor, and you may
Speaker:
00:05:51
be able to reverse it quicker than you think. The second thing
Speaker:
00:05:55
is that it is reversible, and the earlier you start, the
Speaker:
00:05:58
easier it's going to be reversible. You could take in
Speaker:
00:06:02
that blue pill for years and years and years, you're just
Speaker:
00:06:05
ignoring the problem. I call it ignoring the infection, and it
Speaker:
00:06:09
gets worse. So start early. Just know it is reversible, and it's
Speaker:
00:06:13
not age inevitable at all. You don't have to live with it.
Speaker:
00:06:17
Okay? So take the erection harder scale and let me know
Speaker:
00:06:21
what your score is, from zero to four.
