Barry W. McCarthy Ph.D. (Author), Michael E. Metz Ph.D. (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 1, 2004

There seem to be no end to the “authoritative” explanations and “guaranteed” easy treatments for erectile dysfunction (ED). Since the so-called Viagra revolution, conventional wisdom holds that the problem can be fixed simply by taking a pill. The truth of the matter is, though, that ED is often a complex condition affected by physical, psychological, relationship issues—and it’s a problem shared by both a man and his partner. This book is the first ever to address this common problem using a comprehensive biological, psychological, and social approach. It offers a proven-effective program for regaining erectile function, building strong and intimate relationships, and having great sex.

With this book:

• Learn to separate the facts from the myths about ED
• Find out which medicines and medical treatments really work, and how to integrate them into your sexual relationship
• Understand and change the important personal and relationship features of your ED
• Team up with your partner to develop your own unique sexual style
• Avoid future sexual problems with an individualized relapse prevention plan
• Learn how to integrate medical, psychological, relationship, and lovemaking skills for great sex

Review

“A timely and practical book about male sexual function by two highly respected clinicians, this text is of exceptional value because it combines information about biological and psychological treatment in one brief, easily readable text. I would recommend that all men with erectile problems read this book.”

This review is from: Coping with Erectile Dysfunction: How to Regain Confidence and Enjoy Great Sex (Paperback)

Well, timing is everything... and isn't always fair. Had I not just completed reading The Hardness Factor before picking up "Coping With Erectile Dysfunction," I would probably have given this book 5 stars.

Metz and McCarthy have done a very good job of showing us the causes of erectile dysfunction along with some fixes (mainly using sexual awareness to overcome the problem).

I've been using the methods in this book, The Hardness Factor, and Exercising the Penis to build up the strength of my erections. All books have contributed to me overcoming the problem. This book, however, is best from the psychological stand point. If you suffer at all in this area, I suggest getting it.

This review is from: Coping with Erectile Dysfunction: How to Regain Confidence and Enjoy Great Sex (Paperback)

this book is more from a psychological standpoint of a man. if your looking for something to help you understand premature ejaculation or impotency from a mans point of view its a good book. If your looking at it as a spouse looking for answers then it's a fair book but really doesn't offer the proper solutions.

This is another great book to help you deal with the problems that can occur due to Low T. It can help show your partner that his problem is shared by many others and how they have dealt with their problems and how he too can learn to deal with his. It is a great tool to have in helping him through the process of healing. It can also show us, as their partner, how to deal with and make less of the stress of dealing with a problem that affects both of you.
