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.

It is not the kind of book that you can say I loved it....I could not put it down, but it is somewhat essential reading for those who have come through the prostate cancer mill and are still here. Me, I am a young married man, 44 years old, and I wish I had found this book when I was diagnosed 3 years ago. The book has been written by and with a certain age group so some of the text is difficult to read when you are angry with the world and somewhat at the end of the process. Nevertheless the information that is there is written for men, and their partners, who are probably feeling around in the dark wondering where to go next. A lot of thought has been put into the details on a subject that is still not discussed openly enough. If you or your partner are facing into a prostate cancer journey this is something that you should consider reading.

Intimacy with Impotence
26 Aug 2004
Format:Paperback
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.

Read this book as a couple before prostate cancer surgery!
4 Oct 2004
Format:Paperback
My husband is a physician and I am a marriage and family therapist. This book covers, in a reader friendly manner, the proverbial psycho social medical waterfront concerning erectile dysfunction. The most important message is that about penile rehabilitation, ( to be done with doctor's approval ) to be practiced quite soon after recovery from surgery. Published in 2004, it has all the up to date information on both drug and other therapies. In our opinion, this book should be in the hands of every person considering prostate cancer surgery, so that they will be informed about what they need to do after follow up.

Must reading
4 Oct 2004
Format:Paperback
This book not only covers all of the mechancial and pharmaceutical approaches to Erectile Dysfunction, but more importantly dwells on the social and psychological needs of the couple. Initimacy CAN be achieved with impotence, but NOT without love and understanding. This is well covered in the first half of the book.
This book is a "must read" not only for Prostate Cancer patients, but also to those suffering sexual dysfunction from many other causes whether they be physcial or psychological.
