12
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: The subject is I get excited very easily. Dear Stephen Shirley,

13
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: I really need your help and advice with an embarrassing problem.

14
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 1: I'm a twenty eight year old healthy black mail and

15
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: I am single. Since I was fourteen years old, I've

16
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: been having frequent erections. I have been to several urologists

17
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: and specialists, and each doctor told me that I'm completely normal.

18
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: I have talked to my male friends and older men,

19
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: and they all say that it does not sound normal,

20
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: but it also does not sound like a big problem.

21
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: But it is for me. I have my first professional

22
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: job and I wear suits to work daily with tailored pants.

23
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 1: It's very hard to conceal. Last you heard me, It's

24
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 1: very difficult, very hard to conceal my bulge, and I

25
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: feel like everyone has noticed at one time or another.

26
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: I have tried all kinds of home remedies, and I

27
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: have started wearing really tight underwear, but nothing works to

28
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: compress my big problem. I was out getting lunch the

29
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: other day and ended up having to go through a

30
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: drive through because I could not get out of the car.

31
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: It lasts forever when it happens, so I've been late

32
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: to work and business meeting some days. It happens at

33
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: the worst times, no matter what's on my mind or

34
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: what I'm doing. It's caused problems in my last relationship

35
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: because it creeped out my girlfriend. And what in my

36
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: last relationship because it creeped out my girlfriend and she

37
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: thought I was some kind of freak. Creeped out on

38
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: my girlfriend? Okay, I think a word is missing there,

39
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: and she thought I was some kind of freak. It

40
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: will usually go away on its own, but most times

41
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: I have to help out the situation. If you know

42
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: what I mean, this thing is altering my lifestyle and

43
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: starting to ruin my confidence. Do you think I should

44
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: discuss my situation with my employer and my pastor. I

45
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: don't want to look like a pervert. Any advice would

46
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: be helpful, all right, Um, first of all, yeah, I

47
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: just say a few things and then you guys, Steve, Okay,

48
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,119
Speaker 1: I think you guys, Yeah, and I and I said

49
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: that in my first life. I don't think I'm qualified

50
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: or should I say, equipped, to answer this letter. I don't.

51
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: But that's never stopped me before, now has it. Obviously

52
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: I am not a man, but but I do empathize

53
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 1: with you. I mean, we've all heard about ED. We've

54
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: all heard about ED. This is the exact but no, no,

55
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: this is this is a form of ED. This is

56
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: a form of ED. This is a form of that,

57
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: the exact opposite of what we all are familiar with. Um.

58
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: Of course, I would naturally tell you to go to

59
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: the doctor and get checked out. But you've been to neurologists,

60
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: you've been the specialist, all of that, uh, you know,

61
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: and they've all said it was normal. I just can't

62
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: imagine you're missing meetings being like for work because of this.

63
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: You're twenty eight. I know this happens when to teenage

64
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: boys a lot and stuff like that. Um, I would

65
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: just suggest you got to keep going to the doctor

66
00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: until you know you can get this situation under control.

67
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: You say you wear tailored pants until this situation is

68
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: under control. Maybe you shouldn't wear tailored pants. Um, you know,

69
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: I know you. Yeah, this this is a bad situation.

70
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: I wouldn't talk to my employer about it just yet,

71
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: and definitely not my pastor. Uh. And I understand you, yeah,

72
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: I understand you don't want to look like look like

73
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 1: a pervert. So um steve from that point. You know,

74
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: go ahead, you can take it now. But I have
