ABOUT THE COURSE

Accounting for nearly 2 million doctor visits per year, countless men experience pain 'down below’ with little to no help. Endless specialists, traumatic medical experiences, failed treatments, pain with boners, and the incessant search for a cure leaves no time (or energy) for fun in the bedroom. Sexual health, intimacy, and pain are all intertwined which is no surprise that this clinical enigma leaves those with penises feeling socially isolated and hopeless. In this interactive online course, you’ll gain an understanding of male pelvic anatomy (and how penises work), dive into the psychological impacts that pelvic pain has on men’s lives, recognize socio-cultural barriers that men face seeking pain care for their genitals, and tool up on knowledge and resources to help them reconnect with their sexual identity and pain-free pleasure! Supplies: Internet access, computer with camera, Zoom download.
