Book Reviews of Intimacy With Impotence: The Couple's Guide To Better Sex After Prostate Disease
Book Review: Intimacy with Impotence
Summary: 4 Stars
With the more frequent and earlier detection and treatment of prostate cancer in men, the diminished sexual capacity that accompanies treatment for the disease is affecting an increasing number of people.
The basic point of this book is: A couple's love-life does not have to end with impotence or reduced sexual capacity. If a couple is determined to have a satisfying sex life in spite of physcial limitations, this book will show them how.
"Intimacy with Impotence" is written by a couple for couples. With a minimum of preaching it deals with the physical, emotional, and psychological challenges accompanying impotence and gives practical advice on overcoming them. As a survivor of prostate cancer disease myself, I can highly recommend this book.
Summary of Intimacy With Impotence: The Couple's Guide To Better Sex After Prostate Disease
Erectile dysfunction is a frequent consequence of prostate cancer and other prostate disease treatments. Though unwelcome and embarrassing, it doesn't have to end a couple's sex life. Both informative and practical, Intimacy with Impotence gives couples cause for hope. It discusses impotence in lay terms, provides information on the commercial therapies and medications both available and being researched now, and gives practical advice about lovemaking-from getting in the mood to commonsense suggestions to erection-less satisfaction. Written with complete honesty and compassion by a prostate cancer survivor and his wife, this is the essential resource for couples trying to reestablish intimacy and sex in the face of impotence.
