In this episode we discuss the relationship between COVID and male sexual health. As if COVID has not caused enough problems, we are now learning that it can creep into our bedrooms as well. Anybody on social media can tell you that there are all sorts of claims about the impact of COVID on the sex lives of men. And, just in case you weren’t confused and worried enough, those claims are often conflicting. While some claim that COVID can cause problems ranging from erectile dysfunction to infertility, other claim that it’s the COVID vaccines (rather than COVID itself) that are causing the problems. So who do we believe? What do we know to be true versus what we think is true vs what may not be true vs what we know to be just pure nonsense? To help us sort the facts from the fiction, we are fortunate to be joined by Dr. Rena Malik.
