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. | | | |

 Intimacy with Impotence Aug 26, 2004
By J. Rifkind
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! Oct 04, 2004
By One Who Knows
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 Oct 04, 2004
By Stephen Corman
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.

A book for any couple Mar 25, 2005
By John L. Clark
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.

Change your perspective of life after PC surgery!! May 13, 2007
By Luis A. Beltranena
"Quarry Man"
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 after PC!!
