Recently Kate and I attended this conference in Brazil. It was 4 days jam packed with information in the sexual health field. People from all over the world attended and from many different professions. Many urologists, sexologists, a few nurse practitioners, occupational therapists and many more. I have attended this conference in previous years and it is always exciting to update skills and think about what we can incorporate into our care to assist more people in their intimate lives and cancer journeys.
Today we are going to discuss the big takeaways we got from this years conference. In future episodes I will discuss some of these topics in more detail but for today is an overview.
I chose to attend mainly presentations around prostate cancer rehabilitation, peyronies disease and relationship issues. Kate attended lots of sessions on womenâs health, wellbeing and sexuality.
My top takeaway was that the research shows âless positive outcomes for penile rehabilitation when started greater than 6 months following prostate cancer surgeryâ so it is my mission this year to get men to come in earlier and not wait to start rehab.
Kates big takeaway is that Ph is not just important in pool water, it is also very important in vagina health.
Listen here to find out more about: Testosterone(having low T may actually increase risk of developing prostate cancer), peyronies, how erectile function drugs are associated with decreasing risk of MACE (major adverse cardiac events), of the 237 reasons people cited for having sex what was the number 1 reason, what is Bocox and many more exciting tit bits.
Following the conference Kate and I also went on a trip for a few days up the Amazon and did lots exciting things including piranha fishing so we tell you the highlights of this too and recommend you put this on your bucket list.
If you would like to read the paper that discusses testosterone and prostate cancer this, is it: Prostate safety events during testosterone replacement therapy in men with hypogonadism: A randomised clinical trial. December 2023 JAMA Network Open 6(12):e2348692, DOI:10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2023.48692

Mr Dangerfield in conjunction with Prof Chris Coombs have developed a surgical technique to restore erections utilizing nerve grafting.
Listen to Melissa have an informal chat with David about this revolutionary surgery. Topics covered are what the surgery entails, who is the perfect candidate, pre-habilitation and rehabilitation following surgery, and much more.
At present this surgery has mainly been utilised for post-prostate cancer surgical patients but we also discuss areas that this could help other men.

This is a very special episode featuring none other than Victoria Cullen from âA touchy Subjectâ and Robert, a longtime patient of both Victoria and me (Melissa Hadley Barrett).
Robert had an open prostatectomy in May 2009 and has been on a journey of self-discovery ever since. He initially saw menâs health Dr in Brisbane for 4-5 years until he went searching for other options. He injected twice a week for years a mysterious mix ⊠he did achieve an erection, but this was not âwife friendlyâ as no spontaneity. He was only 57 years old at this stage and disappointed with the loss of what was previously a good intimate relationship. Unfortunately, he received advice that vacuum pumps were a waste of time and used injections for rehab, this became costly and tedious and eventually he ran out of steam 2016 and gave up. He felt shame about loss of function.
Along the way he met various health professionals whom he asked if they could help and usually, they didnât respond well until he was eventually sent to a sex therapist who convinced him that outercourse was the way of the future. Finally in 2021 he was introduced to Victoriaâs work by a physio he saw to assist with incontinence issues, and he hasnât looked back. Through Victoria, he met me and Tess Deveze and continued to spice up his rehab and life.
This is a story of perseverance, patience, resilience, and of finding pleasure and joy. I hope you learn as much from Robert as Victoria, and I have and can use some of his lessons and apply them to you. You may be interested to join Victoriaâs Hub (a safe place for men to chat, share and help each other. Happy pumping!

Today we speak with Emily, a sexologist with a psychology background. Emily has a great podcast, âThatâs Orgasmicâ of which I am a keen listener. Recently I had the pleasure of being interviewed on Emilyâs podcast and thought The Penis Project audience would benefit from her education, view point and information.
In this episode we discuss; mismatched libidos (takeaway message â you are not broken), how to build desire, premature ejaculation from a psychological approach , âPost nut clarityâ what is it?, how important it is to change up your script, and much more.
Emily (she/her) is a Queer cis-gendered Sexologist and NDIS Behaviour Support Practitioner based in Geelong, Victoria, who is passionate about advocating for LGBTIQA+ issues, sex, relationships, and the rights of disabled people. She specializes in helping disabled individuals experience the sex and relationships they desire, challenging societal barriers that have long denied them their sexuality. Emily offers sex education, therapy, and tailored support, drawing from her extensive experience with various disabilities and her interest in neurodivergence. She also supports young adults, particularly women, who struggle with sexual confidence, desire, and pleasure due to inadequate sex education and societal pressures. Raised in a conservative rural environment, Emily understands the challenges of unlearning harmful sexual scripts and now helps others do the same, guiding them to reclaim their sexuality and maximize their sexual wellness.
We hope you enjoy this episode, for more information about Emily and how to book a consult please go to www.emilyduncansexology.com

So, we have talked a lot about the pelvic floor on this podcast, but usually it is about strengthening it to maintain/ improve continence post prostate cancer treatment. But what happens if your pelvic floor is too tight? Well, you can have too much of a good thing.
Today we talk to Archie, a 29 year old guy who has a tight pelvic floor. This caused him issues in the bedroom. When your pelvic floor is too tight it can be a contributing factor to sexual dysfunction in both men and women. For women it usually results in pain and in men erectile dysfunction can be an issue. Listen to this weekâs episode to find out how this issue can be helped.

Today we speak with Frank, who was 49 when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He is now 16 months post-op and has had an unremarkable healing journey. He has no incontinence, and his erectile function has returned. It hasnât all been plain sailing as you will hear, but with âstickabilityâ following the rehab roadmap he is back on track and now the surgery feels like a blip on the horizon.
Frank talks about how he now wants to talk about his journey with others for two reasons:
1. To help other men in the same situation and,
2. He finds it therapeutic to talk about what he has been through.
I sincerely hope that you listeners will enjoy this conversation as much as I did and that it gives men soon to go through this journey hope.

This is another episode where you the listeners asked for it, so you got it. Most exciting this week is we have guest interviewer Victoria Cullen from âA Touchy Subjectâ on the interview. If you donât know about Victoria and you have had prostate cancer treatment- you, should, she has awesome information for people in this area so check out her website https://www.atouchysubject.com/.
Many of you saw the TV show where Dr. David Dangerfield was interviewed about this surgery. Professor Chris Coombes and Dr. David Dangerfield perform this surgery to return erectile function to men post prostate cancer treatment. Following Dr Dangerfieldâs TV interview, I was inundated with requests for more information so here it is.
Those of you who are longtime listeners of The Penis Project may remember Episode 46-way back in August 2021 where Jo Milios and I interviewed Dr. Dangerfield on this life changing surgery, and following in that we interviewed a patient who had been through the surgery (Episode 83). A few years have passed now and, in this episode, we speak with Mike who had non nerve sparing prostatectomy in May 2023 and recently had microsurgery with Dr. Dangerfield and Dr. Coombs to repair his erectile dysfunction.
The plan is we will follow Mikeâs journey over the next 12 months and see how he goes, so listen here for the initial post op recovery and keep listening for updates.
Also, if you want to know more, we will be interviewing Dr. Dangerfield himself in September 2024 so keep listening.

Today on The Penis Project Project podcast I speak with Louise Hug. I work closely with Louise as she sees many of the men that I see pre-prostatectomy and she does womenâs pelvic health too, so we cross paths quite a bit.Sometimes men tell me snippets of their consultations with Louise, and she has some great tips to share and ways of explaining pelvic floor training. So, for todayâs episode I have asked her to share them with you.
About Louise: Pelvic Health Physiotherapist MClin (Pelvic Health and Continence) BSc (Physiotherapy), APAM, MACP
She completed her Undergraduate Bachelor of Physiotherapy at the University of Notre Dame, then commenced work at a private practice shortly after graduating. In 2021 she completed a Post Graduate Certificate in Continence and Pelvic Health Physiotherapy,âŻfollowed by completion of Clinical Masters, majoring in Pelvic Health and Continence Physiotherapy. Following Graduation, she worked with Dr Judith Thompson (Physiotherapist PhD) who I have interviewed previously the podcast.
She worked musculoskeletal physiotherapy for eight years treating neck, back and pelvic girdle pain with both hands-on and gym-based treatment. In 2015 she developed an interest in core activation, breath work and muscle balance for rehabilitation, subsequently completing a Cert IV in Pilates.
In her early sporting life, she was a full-time gymnast until the age of 13 and enjoyed tennis, pilates, swimming and barre. These experiences gave her an understanding of injury management and prevention. This is what motivates her to assist others with their return to daily life and sport, not only post-injury but also after life events such as vaginal delivery and caesarean section, as well as gynaecological, breast cancer and prostate surgery. âŻ
She has completed several courses upskilling in Womenâs and Menâs Urinary Continence and Ano-Rectal Dysfunction expanding her knowledge, leading to a passion in the field of Pelvic Health. She provides treatment that has evidence-based support.
She is passionate about assisting both male and female patients with their bladder, bowel, and sexual function.

Today we speak to Saara Jamieson, a scientist with a very cool invention.
Cool Beans is an innovative, cooling underwear designed to boost sperm health and improve the likelihood of conception for couples, but as you will hear in this episode, this is not all they do.
Cool Beans are a registered medical device with the Therapeutic Goods Administration Registrar (ARTG 379655). Who would have though a pair of jocks could be a medical device - the mind boggles!âŻ
Cool Beans are far more than your run-of-the-mill underwear, they are designed to keep the testes cool and ensure the scrotum remains on the lap, not between the thighs when seated, which is imperative for sperm health and comfortability.
They are a breakthrough in menâs fertility health. But if fertility isnât your thing, this is not all they do. They keep your testicles cool and in doing so, can improve testosterone levels which if you are a regular Penis Project listener you will know gives you your get up and go, sex drive and improves your mood.
These cool dudes also help with pain from varicoceles, providing amazing support. Many older men struggle with scrotal sagging, discomfort, testicular torsion, sitting on scrotum, scrotums that hang low and get in the way when sitting down and post-surgical support.

This week we hear the story of Faryar who had his prostate removed in November 2023. If you are a regular listener to The Penis Project you may have heard stories of âyoung blokesâ who recover quickly and this prostate removal business is a blip on the radar for them, you may even think âwell thatâs ok for these young fellasâ. But this is a story of guy a bit older who has an amazing recovery. Why did he have such a smooth recovery?
I believe prior preparation is the key. This is not to say that you can have done everything right and still have troubles but is you put in the work you are more like to have a speedy recovery.
Faryar has had a personal trainer for 15 years and consequently started his journey in tip-top shape which helped his recovery. Listen here, to see how you can improve your quality of life and performance with exercise and specific training.
Please donât let this story give you FOMO, instead think âI can do that tooâ and get moving, or as a well-known sports brand puts it âJust Do It!â

Today we speak with Ken who recently celebrated his 70th Birthday. I met Ken when he had his prostate removed, however today we are not discussing his prostate cancer journey but his life journey of being born left-handed, with a stutter and gay.
This is a story that I found fascinating. Did you know that being gay was only decriminalized in Australia in 1980âs to the 2000âs depending on the state, USA 1970âs in some states and 2000âs in others, in the United Kingdom 1980âs to late 1990âs.
In this podcast we discuss this and many more interesting facts we should all know. Plus, some suggestions on how to deal with a child or grandchild âcoming outâ.

In this episode I speak to the amazing founder of âA Touchy Subjectâ, Victoria Cullen. https://www.atouchysubject.com/
A Touchy Subject is a great resource for men and their partners about sexual recovery when diagnosed with prostate cancer. They are obsessed with uncovering âthe practical stuffâ from the latest clinical literature, and from the thousands of conversations we have with men âMacGyveringâ their way through sexual recovery. They have YouTube videos, blogs, free programs and more to help you on your journey. They also have a list of recommended products to help with the process.
Victoria and I chat about common issues we hear from men and their partners and ways to navigate them. The overarching thought is that; it takes a bit work, ingenuity, a sense of humour, and my favorite skill, âstickabilityâ.

His way of doing it?
Running 129km in rural Western Australia to raise money for research at PCFA.

They cover various topics related to the decision-making process, surgery, recovery, and post-surgery experiences. Peter details his pre-surgery anxieties, which surprisingly gave way to a smooth recovery with minimal discomfort. Jenny and Peter kindly and openly share their experiences relating to sexual activity, challenging common beliefs about older adults and sex.

Today we speak to George all the way from Canada.
George came to Australia and fixed his continence and got his old fella to remember what he was supposed to do. This man had a very complicated and drawn-out post op recovery but is now on his way to penile perfection, thanks to his physio in Canada recommending he visit Jo Milios and subsequently Melissa whilst he was down under. Listen here to see how his recovery went ahead in leaps and bounds once he hit the âlucky countryâ
