Joe Amabile has a new friend named Ed.
The 38-year-old Bachelor in Paradise alum caught up with Us Weekly at a Valentine’s Day event at Bibliotheque in New York City on Wednesday, February 12, to talk all about his new partnership with Eroxon, a gel used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men.
“I just think it’s great to have these conversations. I feel like talking about ED has been so taboo for so long. I feel like guys don’t love having the conversation,” Amabile told Us. “I was really interested in finding out that one in four men over 18 suffer from it. I personally don’t, but I am getting older. So I just think the more knowledge, the better.”
Amabile added that he loves that the Eroxon gel is the first “over-the-counter” medicine for ED. He’s also tried the brand’s new AI ChatBot, Ed.
“I have talked to the AI ChatBot, Ed. He’s fantastic. And I think, you know, guys on a golf course, guys in a locker room, everybody’s bragging about how much sex they have — but nobody wants to talk about their issues,” Amabile continued. “And I think having [Ed] really allows you to be vulnerable and ask questions that you wouldn’t really ask your friends.
Amabile assured Us that no one should be “scared” to chat with Ed.
“There’s also a mental health aspect of it, and I think it could be really tough on relationships. So even if a woman was curious about her partner, maybe, not performing well, she could jump on, talk to the AI ChatBot and figure it out,” he said.
Amabile, for his part, has been married to Serena Pitt since 2022. The twosome met on season 7 of BiP in 2021.
“Our marriage has just been the best thing that’s happened to me,” he gushed to Us when asked for the highlight of the first three years of marriage. “It’s just the everyday life — cooking at home. We love all the traveling and the events and everything, but I just think it’s just the cozy nights at home and the low-key dinners in New York have been my favorite.”
Amabile noted that he believes they will have a baby “within the next three years” as they continue to navigate where they want to raise their family.
“We were considering leaving New York City. It was a really tough conversation,” he explained. “We are trying to settle down somewhere. We don’t know if New York will be our forever place, but we kicked that can down the road again because we resigned. So New York another year.”
Amabile, who is from Chicago, and Pitt, 27, a Toronto native, have debated where to settle down since their time in Mexico.
“We have been having the same conversation since we left the beach,” he joked to Us. “It’s just as stressful and it happens every [year], and then once we resign the lease, it all goes away.”
