Erectile Dysfunction. Just saying it makes many men squirm and just as many women say, “Ewwww.” Daniel Canfield is tired of it being that way. Just like any other physical dysfunction, from a faulty heart valve to a club foot, E.D. is something that needs to be talked about. Why? Because there are innumerable people out there suffering from the condition (men and women) who need help. But they’ve got to know that it’s safe to bring up the subject, to talk about it, and to reach out for help. In this nothing-held back inaugural episode of Broken Boner Radio Daniel Canfield shares his lifelong story of dealing with erectile dysfunction in hopes of bringing more men and women out of the closet (so to speak) to talk about the issue and the hope that exists.

Daniel Canfield is eager to talk to you about his erectile dysfunction.

No, it’s not that he’s a voyeur or weirdo who wants to give you too much information. He wants to engage you in a conversation that he’s reasonably sure will be of help to you - or someone you know and love. Erectile Dysfunction affects almost 49% of men under the age of 40. That means that somebody you know is struggling with E.R. or the effects of it. Daniel believes that when we’re able to talk about it, without shame, and without a sense of personal inadequacy because of it - great help, healing, and hope can come.

Women are impacted by E.D. as well.

Hey men, remember those days when you were dating that significant other? You wanted to show them every bit of your impressive masculinity, didn’t you? But what if you don’t feel particularly masculine because of erectile dysfunction? Not only will you be less confident but the women in your life will pick up on it and be impacted also. She may think she must not be much of a woman because she can’t get you aroused. She may feel like you don’t like her. She may feel… you get the point. :) On this episode Daniel and Elaine dig into all that mumbo jumbo and reveal that the problem extends to more than just the man who can’t get it up. You’ll find lots of insight and tons of hope, so be sure you listen.

A variety of treatments exist for erectile dysfunction and Daniel’s tried them all.

Penis pumps. Viagra and Cialis. Injections (ouch). Implants. Through the years Daniel Canfield has approached his erectile dysfunction in almost every way imaginable. What he’s discovered is that although those are helpful tools to enable the intercourse part of sexual relationships, they aren’t what make him a “real man” or not. That comes from inside, from understanding that masculinity goes way beyond a broken or working boner. You can hear Daniel’s entire story on this episode of Broken Boner Radio.

What you can expect from Broken Boner Radio.

Daniel is styling himself as the “Voice of Erectile Dysfunction.” The fact that he’s willing to take on that title for himself shows you the easy going manner with which he approaches such an uncomfortable topic. You’ll hear some joking, some research findings, some medical stats, and colorful language - but regardless what form it comes in you will always get helpful, honest, hopeful information about how you and the ones you love can live with E.D. and move beyond the hold it has on you.
