Dr. Jesse Mills and Jordan are joined by sex therapist Natalie Finegood Goldberg for a no-shame, deeply practical crash course in the issues men are most afraid to talk about: premature and delayed ejaculation, mismatched desire, and the confusing role porn can play in modern sex lives. A licensed marriage and family therapist and clinical director of Creating Change LA, Goldberg explains why anxiety, tight pelvic floors, and fragile mind–body connection drive so many ejaculation problems—and how breathing work, pelvic floor therapy, “frontloading” conversations with partners, and even retraining how you masturbate can make a real difference. They dig into what happens when partners’ libidos don’t line up, why scheduled sex actually works, and how responsive desire is just as normal as spontaneous arousal. It’s an honest, compassionate guide to understanding your body, communicating better, and approaching sex as a skill—not a test you’re supposed to ace.

In part two of The Male Room’s deep dive on low testosterone, Dr. Jesse Mills and Jordan shift from diagnosis to what everyone really wants to know: treatment. Dr. Mills walks through the major options — gels, pills, injections, and long-acting pellets — breaking down how they work, who they’re best for, and how to choose a provider who’s not just pushing the product of choice. He explains when testosterone therapy truly makes sense, what happens if you over-treat, how and why it can act as male birth control, and the safest ways to come off therapy if you want to start a family or reboot your natural production. Along the way, he busts some of the biggest myths around “T boosters” and “roid rage,” and lays out the lifestyle levers — sleep, exercise, weight loss — that can raise levels naturally. It’s an empowering, no-BS guide designed to help guys ask smarter questions, avoid bad clinics, and use testosterone as one tool (and not a magic fix) in taking control of their health.

It’s part medical lesson, part trivia night, and part myth-busting mission, setting the stage for next week’s deep dive into treatment options.

In the debut episode of The Male Room, Jordan the Producer makes a confession that stops Dr. Mills in his tracks: he hasn’t had a full physical in nearly a decade. What starts as a sheepish admission quickly turns into a bigger conversation about modern men and medical avoidance — why so many guys skip routine checkups and how often you really need to see a doctor. Dr. Mills breaks down the guidelines with his trademark mix of clarity and humor, debunking a few myths along the way and explaining why “I feel fine” isn’t a health plan. It’s a funny, relatable, occasionally humbling kickoff to the series — and the answer to “How often should men go to the doctor?” might genuinely surprise you.
