| Summary |
Delivering honest answers to urgent questions, this candid and compassionate guide addresses the myriad physical and emotional issues surrounding sexuality after a spinal cord injury (SCI). Anatomy, fertility, sexually transmitted diseases, self-esteem, sexual satisfaction, and parenting are just a few of the topics included in its broad scope. Drawing heavily on the experiences of men and women living with SCI, the authors relay practical information in an easy-to-understand, no-nonsense style, acknowledging different lifestyles, tastes, values, and orientations. Written in a convenient question-and-answer format, this is a much-needed manual that allows individuals with SCI to explore their questions in private and at their own pace |
