In this episode of the Wet Dreamz Podcast, Jose and Brad get real about divorce—how messy, confusing, and emotionally tough it can be, especially for guys. They talk about everything from couples using divorce as a threat, to the weird “should we/shouldn’t we?” dynamic around sex during and after splitting up. The hosts dive into how divorce can seriously mess with a guy's sexual confidence, self-worth, and even lead to things like erectile dysfunction, especially when jumping into new relationships too soon.

They also tackle the myth of staying together “for the kids” (spoiler: the kids almost always know what's up), and remind listeners that it’s way more important to work on yourself, figure out what went wrong, and give yourself time before diving into something new. There’s a lot of honesty here—about heartbreak, confusion, and healing—and the big message is: don’t go it alone. Therapy, reflection, and reaching out for support can make a massive difference when you’re picking up the pieces after a divorce. If you’re in the thick of it or just coming out the other side, this episode is a comforting, no-judgment look at how to move forward with a little more clarity and self-compassion.

In this episode of the Wet Dreamz Podcast, host Jose Gonzalez and guest Dr. Brad Hinman discuss STEP 3 of their eight-step recovery model for addressing out-of-control sexual behavior—"Progression." Building on previous steps (creating distance from the behavior and examining sexual history), they dive into understanding the ups and downs of sexual behavior over time. They explore why it's crucial to identify periods of high and low use, examine what circumstances contributed to those patterns, and discuss the importance of recognizing escalation or tolerance in behavior. The conversation highlights the value of looking beyond surface-level triggers to understand the underlying reasons and needs driving the behavior, while also emphasizing the importance of focusing on healthy coping mechanisms and not falling into shame. The episode is practical, encouraging listeners to reflect deeply on their own patterns and to recognize hope and personal agency in their recovery process.

In this episode of the Wet Dreamz Podcast, we talk openly about what dads really go through during pregnancy and those early months of fatherhood. We shared our personal stories, highlighting the excitement, anxiety, and even feelings of being left out that often come with the territory.

We discussed how easy it is for men to ignore their own emotions while focusing on providing for their family—something that can lead to isolation or unhealthy coping if left unchecked. Both of us emphasized the importance of communicating, not only with your partner but also with other dads who’ve been there, and having a plan to take care of your own mental health.

Ultimately, we encouraged expectant fathers to stay engaged, reach out for support, and not to bottle up what they’re feeling during this huge transition. If you have questions or want to share your own experiences, we’d love to hear from you!
