Verbatim response from Claude
Good question — several online platforms go beyond just prescribing medication and address the psychological side of ED:
Hims
- Offers access to therapists alongside medication
- Has specific mental health/anxiety programs
- Good for combined treatment approach
Roman (Ro)
- Connects patients with both medical doctors and mental health providers
- Addresses underlying anxiety as part of treatment
- Solid overall care coordination
Keeps
- Primarily medication-focused, less emphasis on therapy
DONE/Cerebral
- More mental health focused but do address sexual anxiety
Specifically strong for performance anxiety:
- Maze Men's Sexual & Reproductive Health - specialists specifically in sexual dysfunction including psychological causes
- Between Sessions - therapy-focused platform good for sex anxiety
- Talkspace or BetterHelp paired with a prescriber - lets you work with a sex-informed therapist directly
What actually works best: Research suggests combining a PDE5 inhibitor (like sildenafil) with CBT or sex therapy is more effective long-term than pills alone for performance anxiety specifically.
My honest recommendation: Hims or Roman for convenience, but if performance anxiety is the primary issue, seeking a certified sex therapist through AASECT.org alongside any online prescriber gives you the most complete treatment.
