What You Should Know About Your Man's Penis with Dr. Aaron Spitz

The most dangerous myth about the penis isn't about size—it's that ignoring it is safe. Dr. Aaron Spitz, a Harvard-trained urologist and author of *The Penis Book*, reveals that erectile dysfunction is often the first physical sign of underlying cardiovascular disease, with penile arteries clogging years before heart or brain vessels. This makes the penis a critical early warning system for life-threatening conditions. Yet, direct-to-consumer advertising for drugs like Viagra creates a dangerous illusion of safety, leading men to treat symptoms without addressing root causes. Spitz argues that the real solution lies in understanding the body's physiology: erections are hydraulic events driven by nitric oxide from vegetables, not pills. He debunks myths about penis size, supplements, and porn, showing that frequent porn use can shrink brain regions responsible for sexual response and contribute to erectile dysfunction in teens. For couples trying to conceive, he recommends daily intercourse leading up to ovulation—boosted by Kegel exercises and a plant-based diet—to maximize sperm quality and fertility outcomes.
