What happens when you grow up in a culture that almost never talks about sex?

In this episode of Men and Sex, I sit down with RD, a 21-year-old man from Ukraine, to hear his raw and unfiltered story. This is part of my series interviewing men across the world to uncover the common threads in how we were shaped around sexuality.

I share my own experiences of where I’ve fallen into these patterns, and Victoria brings insight from a woman’s perspective—on what it feels like to receive from a man who is truly present vs. one who is just trying to get something.

Every time you touch your body, you’re programming how you touch others. This episode is about making that programming conscious—so your touch creates connection, not distance.

I sat down with a deeply informed anonymous guest, a man who has dedicated himself to understanding the full impact of circumcision—physically, emotionally, sexually, and culturally. And he came ready to share what most people never hear.

We dive into:
🔍 Why do we circumcise? Religious tradition, cultural habits, and outdated medical myths

💔 What we actually lose in the process: sensitivity, function, and trust in our own bodies
💥 How circumcision is tied to erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and delayed ejaculation
🧬 What is keratinization and meiosis—and how they affect your pleasure
🔄 Real steps men can take toward foreskin restoration—yes, it's a thing, and it’s been around for decades
💸 The billion-dollar industry behind it all—from the selling of foreskin to the explosion of lube and ED meds

We also ask:
❗ Why is this not called male genital mutilation—while the same practice in other cultures is?
❗ Why are men so unaware of the lingering impacts of this one early trauma?

If you're a man who’s ever wondered why your sexuality feels off, limited, or numbed—this episode could be the missing piece.

🎧 Listen now—and prepare to rethink everything you thought you knew about your body.
