This Virtual Pop-Up brings together leading experts in male pelvic health, sexual medicine, and behavioral health to explore the full spectrum of male sexual function across the lifespan.
Participants will gain practical, evidence-informed tools for assessing and treating erectile dysfunction, pelvic floor–related sexual dysfunction, anoreceptive sexual health, and metabolic contributors to sexual performance.

Session Details
Session 1 – 🟢 Foundational
Understanding Erections, Ejaculation, and Nocturnal Events: A Foundational Framework
Session Description
This session explores a foundational gap in pelvic health physical therapy: the assumption that clinicians fully understand the three distinct physiological processes patients describe. Erectile dysfunction is often treated as a single condition; however, it spans three orchestrated systems with different neural substrates, vascular events, and clinical signatures.
This session unpacks erection (psychogenic, reflexogenic, nocturnal), ejaculation (emission and expulsion), and nocturnal events (nocturnal penile tumescence and nocturnal emission). Attendees will learn neuroanatomy, normative parameters of function, and clinical reasoning strategies to guide assessment, education, and interdisciplinary referral.
Learning Objectives
• Distinguish psychogenic, reflexogenic, and nocturnal erections
• Differentiate emission and expulsion phases of ejaculation
• Interpret nocturnal penile tumescence and emissions clinically
• Apply a structured clinical reasoning framework for male sexual response
Speaker
Di (Woody) Wu, PT, MBBS, MMed, MPT, cert. MDT
Dr. Di Wu trained as a medical doctor and completed his residency in orthopedics in Beijing. He later transitioned into physical therapy training at McGill University, where he was the first male to enroll in pelvic floor coursework. Over the past decade, he has developed a structured framework for male pelvic health grounded in both medical and physiotherapy training. He is a founding member of Integrated Pelvic Care and an international educator in male pelvic health. |
