In this special Christmas edition of The Penis Project Podcast, Melissa is joined by members of the Restorative Health Clinic team for a candid, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt look back at the year that was.
From awkward inbox messages and clinic mishaps to deeply meaningful patient moments, the team reflects on what it’s really like working in men’s sexual health — a space where humour, vulnerability, trust, and life-changing conversations collide every day.
This episode is part thank-you, part behind-the-scenes, and part reminder that sexual health work is serious — but laughter matters too.
Key Takeaways
Men’s sexual health is about much more than erections — it’s about confidence, connection, and quality of life
Trust takes time, but once it’s built, men open up in powerful ways
Porn has skewed expectations — most penises are completely normal
You don’t need to have a penis to understand men’s sexual health — listening matters more
A good clinic culture blends professionalism, compassion… and humour
