I was recently reached out to by the Reader’s House for an interview on their podcast. Here’s the transcript of the interview (I’ve added some helpful links for your reference):
What inspired you to become a sex coach and author specialising in men’s sexual performance?
I first learned about how to improve my own sexual performance after facing many sexual difficulties in the bedroom. These difficulties led to relationship problems, inability to keep women happy, and self-esteem issues. Thankfully, I found natural solutions to most of the main problems I had – such as an inability to last long, or get it up when nervous – and also learned what it took to really satisfy a woman sexually.
This created a transformation in me (and my life) that led to greatly improved relationships and self-esteem. The best part is, I didn’t need to rely on medication. Seeing how well the information I had learned worked for me, I figured many men were going through the same, and I wrote down everything I learned in one place – Mr. Manpower’s Guide to Overall Manhood Enhancement.
How do you ensure the techniques you recommend are backed by science and safe for your readers?
I’ve done extensive research in each area I teach, and learned for myself. As to backed by science, for instance, kegels (strengthening the PC muscle) have been shown in studies to improve sexual stamina, as well as improve erection quality. Vitamin D supplementation can increase testosterone production. These are just some examples.
There are some more “advanced” male enhancement techniques that some people may be wary of, but do work as well. The scientific studies behind it are not as thorough as others, but there are studies found (for example: 1, 2). I know first hand that substantial gains in this area are possible, as I have experienced a permanent increase in size in my case. There are forums, with tens to hundreds of thousands of men performing these exercises, with before and after photos documenting gains, and rather than any harm done, actual improvement is found in the function of said parts of the body (trying my best not to be too explicit here, but it is one area men find most fascinating). All of the testimonials on my site are real.
While some of the scientific studies don’t show gains that are all that impressive, combining with the knowledge I’ve gathered over the years, I can greatly improve gains over anything found in the studies – more in line with the gains reported in the forums. Same goes for lasting longer. Not only can you learn to double or triple the amount of time you can last, but with enough knowledge and practice, you can gain complete control.
Can you explain the concept of ‘overall manhood enhancement’ and how it relates to sexual performance?
The idea is to cover all areas of a man’s sexual performance, from A to Z. From before he enters the bedroom – such as how to improve his testosterone production naturally (and therefore libido), to when he’s done, and wants to go again (how to reduce his refractory period, or eliminate it altogether for multiple orgasms). And everything in between, such as how to mentally get it up on command, last longer, and ensure she has an orgasm (or two, or more).
What are some common misconceptions about male sexual performance that you aim to debunk in your work?
That the size you have been given is the size you have to live with and cannot be improved. That medication is needed to overcome ED or PE. That any man is “doomed” to be bad in bed.
How has the response been to your e-book, Mr. Manpower’s Guide to Overall Manhood Enhancement, since its release in 2007?
It’s been great. Hearing the responses from men who’ve experienced the same improvements and transformation in their own lives that I experienced has provided me with so much joy. Knowing this was “translatable”, provides me with so much encouragement to keep going. With more than 20,000 guides sold to date, my refund rate has been nearly non-existent (less than 1%). It works, and men are happy to have found the solution to issues they’ve often carried for years.
In what ways do you think your all-natural approach to improving sexual performance sets you apart from other experts in the field?
If you were to visit a doctor with complaints of any of these sexual issues, chances are, they’ll write you a script for a medication, and you’re on your way to relying on medication (instead of your naturally-given abilities) for the rest of your life. Viagra or Cialis for ED, an SSRI for premature ejaculation, or testosterone replacement therapy to improve testosterone production. But these come with side effects. Besides the shot to self-esteem, knowing you’re relying on an outside source to do something you naturally should be able to do, these come with side effects. For instance, while effective for treating PE, SSRIs can cause weight gain and a blunting of your sex drive. TRT can cause shrinkage of your natural “testosterone factories”, being that it’s being introduced exogenously and your body no longer needs to produce it.
What role do you think emotional and mental wellbeing play in achieving optimal sexual performance, and how do you address these aspects in your work?
Feeling good can help you enjoy sex more, can lead to more of a sex drive, and it’s actually been shown that men with more serotonin last longer during sex (hence the effectiveness of SSRIs for treating PE).
Being mentally “aware” of what’s going on in your body during sex is important, to be able to maintain better control and last longer.
Being self-aware of what you’re feeling before sex is important in order to not allow sexual anxiety to take over and suffocate your arousal. Meditation and just generally practicing having self-awareness in your daily life helps with this.
Having a positive and communicative relationship with your partner, and asking them what they like during sex, ensures a better chance of you satisfying them the way they want to be pleased.
What advice would you give to fellow authors who are looking to write about sensitive or taboo topics, such as sexual performance, in a way that is both informative and respectful?
Write as if you were writing to yourself – What would you find helpful? How would you like to be spoken to? How would you like subjects to be explained?
Share your own experiences, so others can relate. You’ll be amazed how many others are going through the exact same thing. We are much more alike than we are different, in most cases!
