Have you ever wondered about the impact porn and masturbation is having on your sex life? Or maybe you’re curious about the yoga principles of storing up your sexual energy, and awakening your kundalini? In this episode, we are diving deep into the sensitive and taboo subject of sexual dysfunction with the expertise of Eric Lougheed. Eric is a coach that helps men resolve their erectile dysfunction naturally and is the founder of Morning Wood.
