Coping With Erectile Dysfunction: How to Regain Confidence & Enjoy Great Sex Paperback – 12 Nov. 2004

I learnt some really useful things from this book:- that the penis becomes erect during sex but then quickly goes flaccid again. It "takes a break". This is normal and it easily regains its hardness again later. However many men get anxious and worried about "failing" because of this and try desperately to keep it constantly hard.- the statistics show that married couples and people in long term monogamous relationships have better sex lives than others (that came as a surprise)The author says at one point that men worry that the new model of male sexuality means that their sexuality has been made more female i.e. More slow-time, touch-feely. I can see why men might think this.Anyway this book has certainly given me more insights into what is really going on when a man has his panties round his ankles.

It worked for us. A great explanation to a complex yet simple problem and really helped us to move on with every thing else.

clear precise and very helpful

Got this as an ex has ED and we found this book - I read it too. I believe it would have been effective if he’d been willing to look at the emotional side of ED (as explained in the book). However, he was dead set on it being nothing to do with him and a purely biological dysfunction. Which, was clear from reading the book, and knowing him, that it wasn’t. So, you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.

So far so good!

A bit wordy.

There is no doubt this is a very informative and well written book, if you have this problem or know someone who does it will enable you to understand many of the aspects of dysfunction. Point to note, this is aimed at couples and with the examples and exercises / activities it shows it is of little use unless you are part of a couple who equally want to take the time and make the effort to sort things.I recommend this book as a form of self help however, it is little use to the lone person or someone in a relationship where the partner is not on board. It is very clinical (this is not a failing, depends on your reading style) and for someone who is looking for a more sensitive approach to the emotions it may not engage you fully.

Would recommend this book to any couple who need some help in this area. We were on the way to solving our problem within a couple of weeks, after reading this book together and discussing all the exercises and following the suggestions
