What happens when science takes on one of men’s most taboo topics?
In this episode of The Meaning of Men we speak with John Boghossian, co-founder of Cadence Bio, a biotech company developing the first FDA-approved treatment for premature ejaculation (PE). John opens up about his mission to bridge what he calls the “intimacy gap” — the three-to-one difference in average climax time between men and women — and how tackling this issue could transform not only men’s sexual health but also their confidence, mental wellbeing, and relationships.
We explore what PE actually is, how common it is (hint: more than you think), and why so many men suffer in silence due to shame and stigma. John also shares the fascinating science behind his company’s breakthrough on-demand treatment, why it matters beyond the bedroom, and how changing the narrative around men’s sexual health is just as important as the medical innovation itself.
This is a conversation about vulnerability, science, and the courage to challenge taboos — one that every man (and their partner) should hear.
