One of the episode's most clinically specific segments, Steven describes the full range of sexual dysfunction he personally experienced and now sees in clients: difficulty getting and maintaining erections, needing pornographic stimulation to stay aroused, and eventually inability to orgasm without mentally replaying a scene watched earlier that day.
