The Truth About Men and Sex

“A courageous and revealing exploration of male sexuality … A must-read for men and the women who care about them.”       —Keith Ablow, MD, New York Times bestselling author

“Dr. Morgentaler has done it again! The courageous Harvard professor takes the reader into the privacy of the examining room to learn about the taboo topic of male sexuality. A must-read for both sexes!”—Suzanne Somers, lecturer and New York Times bestselling author

“An enlightening new book.”—Cosmopolitan Magazine

“Morgentaler’s experienced perspective comes across in his writing and will appeal to a wide audience. Eye opening and never dull, this is a book both male and female readers interested in medicine, sexuality, gender issues, and relationships will enjoy.”—Library Journal

What we think we know about men and sex is wrong, stuck in macho stereotypes and absurd porn scripts and imagery. How do men really feel?

Now, Harvard’s Dr. Abraham Morgentaler offers a unique view of men, sex, and relationships—a true perspective on authentic male sexuality, and one that has never been given before. It provides stunning new ways of understanding men, and it’s already changing women’s perspectives on their men, Viagra, and penile implants, and increasing their enthusiasm and insights on how to improve their personal and sexual relationships with men.

In The Truth About Men and Sex: Intimate Secrets from the Doctor’s Office (St. Martin’s Griffin; March 2015), Dr. Morgentaler presents insights from the revelations of men in real-life situations. Once his examination room door closed, men felt safe to drop their protective bravado, hoping he could help them. They opened up with an unexpected depth of feeling. Dr. Morgentaler learned the fascinating, surprising, and often affirming truth.

In this age of Viagra, testosterone, and yes, even penile implants, we know astoundingly little of true male sexuality. Dr. Morgentaler, with more than a quarter century of medical practice specializing in the treatment of men with sexual and reproductive conditions, was honored with his patients’ trust. He now shares a remarkable understanding of what sex means to a man.

The Truth About Men and Sex reveals the compelling, nuanced, and unanticipated world of men’s feeling about their sexuality—straight, gay, or transgendered.
