Editorial Review:

Product Description:
"[This book is] outstanding, well-written, and should be read by all men and women."--James Lewis, Jr., Ph.D., Executive Director, Education Center for Prostate Cancer Patients

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.



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A must read
This book is a must read for a couple who has just undergone surgery for prostate cancer. Although I had already read some of the information elsewhere, it would have been handy to have had this resource earlier after surgery. It is also beneficial to have this resource for both patient and spouse.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - DEE
Our impression of this book is neutral. Books generally are based on the opinion of thier writers. We were hoping for a more "emotional, psychological" approach to the issue. This book makes a fair attempt.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Change your perspective of life after PC surgery!!
This book makes you aware of many things nobody told me would happen after I had PC Surgery. Your whole system changes and without help it is difficult to live a normal decent life with your spouse. I should have bought it immediatly after surgery, 3 years ago, but didn't know about it until 2 months ago.
We Survivours of PC should unite to help others with the tremendous resources like this book and many others. Read the book, it will get you back on the right track. Love life is not over ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Helping others
I read this book to assist a friend that is trying to deal with his ED issues. He is single. I think that this book had addressed issues that are faced by married men as well as single men. I would like to see more books on this topic as it relates to single men because I believe that many single men believe that this limits their ability to have a fulfilling relationship with the opposite sex.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A book for any couple
My wife and I are in our 70s with children and grand-children. We have had a very happy marriage, but did not really talk alot about our sex life together. I had surgery 18 months ago for prostate cancer and afterwards experienced impotency. This book was immensely helpful in working through this problem. We read sections together and felt that we could have used it years ago. We have better communication now than we ever did.
