There are certain words society considers taboo, 'impotence'

is one of them. It is still one of the most misunderstood health

conditions, partly because it carries a stigma, in the minds of

many that suggests failure. Ms. Marie puts emphasis on the

metamorphosis that can occur, due to stress, when a husband cannot

consummate the physical aspect of marriage. And after reading

IMPOTENCE: THE DARK SIDE, some questions about this condition will

be answered.

Ms. Marie uses this book to tell her story and share the emotional

turmoil couples experience when a man denies that his impotence is

real. As a result of her emotional roller coaster ride, her life took

a destructive path. She was consumed by 'the dark side': depression,

memory shut down, alcoholism and suicide attempts. After the emotional

dust settled, she started a crusade to educate those who have lost

themselves and feel trapped in a hopeless situation.

Using excerpts from medical journals along with personal interviews

she hopes to give credibility to why individuals react so negatively

to impotence. Statistically the numbers that equate to impotence are

overwhelming, it affects an estimated 30 million men. But what is

more astounding is the number of men who choose to placate this

situation and fail to seek help.

IMPOTENCE: THE DARK SIDE, is divided into sections which describe the

condition of impotence and impotence denial, common signs of

physical and emotional abuse, and gives resources where readers can

obtain help for themselves. With this information Ms. Marie hopes to

remove the associated stigma and increase the awareness of readers.

This is a bold step for a writer entering the literary arena.
