Intimacy with Impotence gives couples cause for hope and includes:

  • a discussion of impotence in lay terms
  • information on the commercial therapies and medications both available and being researched now.
  • practical advice about lovemaking—from getting in the mood to commonsense suggestions to erection-less satisfaction.

>> more about the book

"My wife and I would recommend that any couple, PCa or not, read either or both of Ralph and Barbara Alterowitz's books: The Lovin' Ain't Over and Intimacy With Impotence. They really helped us post-surgery when we were struggling with our sex life. We both wish that we had read something like this when we younger raising our kids. We communicate much better now about intimacy and other aspects of our relationship. We are both 70 and I had surgery 18 months ago."
