    Mpox: Will U.S. Vaccines Hold Up Against the Global Health Emergency?

    The World Health Organization recently declared a global health emergency over the growing mpox outbreak in several African countries. While the United States experienced its own outbreak 2 years ago, new questions have been raised about the potential severity of this resurgence. Is the outbreak caused by a different more contagious form of mpox? What extra precautions can be taken to protect against infection? Will the vaccine provided in the U.S. protect against this new outbreak overseas? Jorell Blanco, a registered nurse at Men’s Health Foundation, joins the podcast to shed light on these questions and give listeners a refresher on how to stay safe and protected against mpox. In this episode you will hear insights on: 1.    What makes this current outbreak different from the one that occurred in 2022 2.    The importance of vaccination and preventative measures to minimize the spread of mpox 3.    The disproportionate impact that mpox has on the LGBTQ+ community 4.    Which behaviors may increase your risk of mpox infection, and which will keep you safe To read a transcript of the episode, visit: menshealthfound.org/podcast-transcript-episode-7 To request an appointment for an mpox vaccine, visit menshealthfound.org/book or call 310-550-1010.

    7月30日

    Sex and Porn Addiction: Why Is It So Hard to Recognize?

    Is there such a thing as having too much sex or watching too much porn? What’s the difference between something that’s done for pleasure and an addiction? How do these things affect gay men in particular? These are questions that we discuss with behavioral health specialist, Brandon Simpson, AMFT, who specializes in treating patients who struggle with sex and porn addiction. It's no secret that sex and porn play a big role in our culture. The impact that these components can have on mental health is often not talked about, though, for fear of being “sex-negative”. Brandon brings his expertise to help us untangle the complex impacts of sex and porn on individuals and communities. He also defines the difference between something that enhances intimacy and something that is used as an escape. Additionally, he shines a light on how people struggling with their relationship to sex and porn can reframe their neural pathways and develop healthier habits. This episode takes an honest look at cultural norms in a compassionate and non-judgmental way. You will hear about: • The defining characteristics of sex and porn addiction • What sex and porn addiction looks and feels like in day-to-day life • Why gay men are more likely to be addicted to sex and porn • How sex and porn addiction can be treated • How to support others who are struggling with the ways they relate to sex and porn To read a transcript of the episode, visit: menshealthfound.org/podcast-transcript-episode-6 To request an appointment with Brandon, visit menshealthfound.org/book or call 310-550-1010.
