Sequoia - Anonymous sexual health app for men | Product Hunt

Hey PH Community, ? Denis, the founder of Sequoia, is here with the team and we are super excited to share Sequoia with you today.

Thanks a lot to @picsoung for hunting us.

Story ? When I was 23, I caught a cold that caused pelvic pain. At first, I didn’t understand what was happening to me. Just felt some pain after urinating. But I didn’t dare visit a doctor! I felt embarrassed and hoped that it would go away by itself.

With time instead of going away, it got worse and started affecting my intimate life. I went to a doctor only it became completely unbearable.

The disease was gone but some questions remained. Why did I feel so ashamed of revealing that health issue? Why was I afraid to discuss something which is natural for me as a man?

The problem ? It’s not easy for men to talk about their sexual issues. In the world, 800M men suffer from sexual dysfunction and urination problems. Study shows that 8/10 don't dare visit a doctor.

The solution ✨ A mobile app that allows men to anonymously track and improve their sexual health.

Key features ? include an Intimate Health Check-up to assess current health status, a Personal Improvement Plan to help men reach their goals, a Sexual Activity Tracker to monitor progress, up-to-date content to stay informed and sexually educated, and the ability to Ask Questions to a Doctor for personalized advice.

Who it’s for ? Sequoia is designed for young people who want to get sex education, as well as for men who have faced sexual issues or who don't want them to appear in the future.

Hi, dear people! I am Olga, co-founder of Sequoia and psychiatrist and sexologist. Thank you for attention! ❤️

What do you feel when you hear the phrase «good erection»? What is your association? Maybe, it is strength, best sex, a successful man, health.

What do you feel when you hear the phrase «bad erection»? What is your association? Do you feel shame, weakness, and embarrassment?

What do you feel when you see ads for impotence medicine, do you feel discomfort?

Have you ever heard nervous chuckles, inappropriate jokes and promises of miracle pills supposing to help in a company of so-called friends…?

I’ve heard the answer “yes” to all these questions from men who turned to me for medical advice. There is a story of rejection of their problem, their sexual history, themselves behind each of them. Loss of identity, depression, other mental disorders… How many men did not seek help?

Erection is historically considered to be inseparable from the feeling of masculinity. But this is a well-known stereotype, isn’t it? After all, a man feels like a man not only because he has an erection, doesn’t he? But, why do we still put a black label on those who have problems with it?

With the Sequoia, we want to break this stigma, grow a new paradigm - it is important and necessary for men to take care of themselves and their health.

Sequoia is tackling an important topic that is too often discarded. Great to see people innovating in this space and providing insightful help?

Hey everyone ?

I’m Dmitry, iOS developer at Sequoia!

It's been an interesting journey with professionals of their craft. Working on an app like this is an opportunity to change for the better the male population's attitude toward their health ?
