Publisher's Synopsis
This book is an unusual hybrid of fiction and nonfiction to explain the male pelvic floor. There are five central characters whose worlds are unraveling due to pelvic floor dysfunction. These characters navigate through the world via short stories of erectile dysfunction, urinary pain and leakage, and prostate cancer. We are invited to hear their unique internal struggles as they are stripped of their sexuality and the consequences this holds in the rest of their lives.
The book then shifts to a nonfiction platform to uncover the science behind erectile dysfunction and prostate cancer. Research is unveiled to address treatments available for men with erectile dysfunction and urinary problems.
The finale of the book takes a long, hard look at masculinity in today's world; the challenges, the misrepresentation of men during recent times and the need to promote healthy male sexuality for a more balanced world.
"Becca genuinely taps into an amazingly sensitive topic that affects more than 30 million men. Erectile dysfunction is a taboo subject that men tend to shy away from discussing or reaching out for help. Becca depicts an intimate journey of each of her characters in a manner that anyone can empathize with. This book is a fantastic read which I hope will allow men to come out from hiding in knowing they are not alone."Dr. Omnia Samra-Latif, MD, MPH, FACOG, FAARM
"Becca has a way with words and with people. She is a healer to the core. This book is for anyone who needs or wants to see the human/vulnerable side of erectile dysfunction and pelvic pain in men. These characters are as real as their symptoms." Aisling Linehan, PT, DPT, PRPC
