On the EIQ Men podcast (formerly Erectile Dysfunction Radio), host and certified sex therapist Mark Goldberg sat down with Jeff Abraham, CEO of Absorption Pharmaceuticals and the driving force behind the sexual wellness brand Promescent, to unpack a question more young men are quietly asking: why does my sex drive feel lower than it should be? The conversation moves past the usual focus on premature ejaculation and into the real terrain of libido - blood flow, lifestyle, confidence, and the modern habits reshaping desire itself.
Goldberg opened by asking how the average man should tell the difference between normal, age-related decline and a libido problem that needs medical attention. Abraham, who is candid about being 68 himself, acknowledged that desire genuinely changes across the decades. The wind-blowing arousal of your late teens is not the baseline for your 40s or 60s, and that is normal.
What is not normal, he explained, is a young man who consistently lacks desire even with a partner.
"If it starts early, and it's pretty consistent, even when you're with a partner, you don't have the proper libido, you need to see a physician for a workout, whether it be someone in the psychology area or someone in the medical practice area to determine if there's an underlying physiological reason."
Low testosterone is one possible driver worth ruling out with a qualified professional. If a workup comes back clear, Abraham believes there are legitimate, natural ways to support desire - starting with blood flow. For a broader picture of how circulation, hormones, and sexual function connect, the Mayo Clinic is a reliable place to begin.
Much of arousal, Abraham argued, comes down to circulation. When blood flows freely to the genitals, the body responds with arousal, and arousal often translates into desire. This is where Promescent's nitric oxide supplement, VitaFlux, enters the conversation. Formulated with L-carnitine, L-citrulline, L-arginine, zinc, and magnesium, it is designed to support healthy blood flow throughout the body.
"When you have blood flow to your genitals, it causes arousal. So a lot of people use that particular product, VitaFlux, both men and women. Because they tend to have sex more frequently and have the urge and the desire more because the genitals are enforced with blood."
Abraham also described how, for many people in their late 30s and early 40s, the inner lining of veins and arteries stiffens and absorbs nutrients less efficiently - one reason circulation and hormone uptake can quietly decline with age. Supporting blood flow, he suggested, has benefits well beyond the bedroom.
You can learn more about the supplement at VitaFlux. As always, a supplement is one piece of a larger picture, not a substitute for a medical evaluation when something feels persistently off.
Goldberg raised the trend that has driven so much recent conversation: reports that libido and testosterone in younger men appear lower than in past generations. Abraham's take, drawn from years of talking to Promescent's own customers, was less about biology and more about behavior.
"I think there's a large segment of our under 30 population that isn't out and about anymore, that isn't being stimulated and aroused by the opposite sex, that they're buying men's masturbatory toys and not leaving the home."
Working remotely, meals delivered to the door, social lives lived through screens - Abraham sees a generation with fewer reasons to leave the house and fewer chances to feel the spark of real attraction. Desire, in his framing, is partly a muscle that weakens without use. He was careful not to dismiss genuine physiological causes, but he suspects much of the so-called crisis is social as much as hormonal.
Premature ejaculation, the issue most associated with younger men, affects an estimated 1 in 3 men at some point in their lives and is recognized as the most common male sexual dysfunction.
When Goldberg asked about lifestyle, Abraham was emphatic. Poor sleep flattens energy, focus, and desire all at once. Fatty foods and excess weight contribute to plaque and blood pressure problems that reduce circulation and erection quality. Regular exercise and a clean diet, by contrast, lift mood, endorphins, and self-image.
That last point led him to what he called a hidden component of libido: confidence.
"I think one of the hidden parts of libido is confidence. If you have confidence in yourself, you feel like on top of your game, you feel like you're a sexual being who's pleasuring a partner."
His observation is that a man who feels good about himself radiates something others are drawn to, while a man who feels unworthy of intimacy can talk himself into believing his drive is gone. The lesson is not to dismiss real medical causes, but to recognize that mindset and lifestyle are doing more of the work than many men assume.
Abraham has built much of his career around destigmatizing sexual health, and he returned to it here. He compared the shame men feel about seeking help to a diabetic feeling embarrassed about insulin - which, of course, no one would. Premature ejaculation alone has several physiological drivers, from nerve sensitivity to prostatitis to low testosterone, and the Urology Care Foundation treats it as the common, addressable condition it is.
His strongest warning was about where men turn for answers. Too many, embarrassed to see a doctor, search online and land on products with no science behind them.
"If you search for ED solutions or low libido solutions, you'll find thousands of solutions. The majority of them are snake oil, lemon juice, some guy doing it in his garage, complete trash, playing on people's anxiety."
The fix, he said, is to educate yourself and seek out a qualified professional - a therapist or urologist who can separate legitimate, science-based options from the noise. For men dealing with finishing too quickly, a clinically tested option like Promescent Delay Spray is one such evidence-backed tool, and you can explore the full range of resources at Promescent.
Asked for closing words to any man feeling ashamed or isolated, Abraham kept it simple. Most men experience ED or PE at some point. The first steps are acknowledging the issue and seeking help from someone trained and compassionate. Whether the cause is physiological or rooted in lifestyle and confidence, the path forward starts the same way: stop hiding, get a real evaluation, and choose tools backed by science rather than hype.
