162: Erections Are Trying to Tell Us Something And We're Ignoring It with Dr. Elliot Justin

In this episode of Confessions of a Male Gynecologist, Dr. Shawn Tassone sits down with Dr. Elliot Justin, CEO of FirmTech, to break down a topic most men, women, and honestly, most doctors, aren't talking about enough: erectile fitness as a measurable, trackable marker of overall health.

We track our steps.
We track our sleep.
We track our calories.

So why aren't we tracking one of the clearest indicators of cardiovascular, neurological, and hormonal health?

This conversation dives into how cutting-edge technology is reshaping men's sexual wellness, not just for performance, but for prevention, longevity, and overall health optimization. From smart erection rings to neuromodulation, this episode challenges outdated thinking and introduces a data-driven future for men's health and intimacy.

Episode Highlights:

Why erections may be an early warning sign for deeper health issues
How erectile fitness monitoring works and what it can actually tell us
The science behind nocturnal erections and why they matter
What neuromodulation is and how it impacts sexual function
How wearable tech (like FirmTech's devices) is bringing real data into the bedroom
Why guessing about sexual health is outdated and what men can do instead
The connection between vascular health, hormones, and performance
How this technology could change the future of preventative medicine for men
