Making Love Again: Hope for Couples Facing Loss of Sexual Intimacy

by Virginia Laken, Keith Laken, Maria Bishop (Editor)

After you stop making love temporarily, how long does it take until you slide into stopping permanently?

When Virginia Laken asked herself this question, her marriage was suffering. She and her husband Keith felt distanced from each other by a lack of sexual intimacy. While a radical prostatectomy had saved Keith's life from prostate cancer, it had also taken away his ability to get an erection. And neither partner knew how to make their love life "right" again.

In their groundbreaking book, this very real couple offers the true and incredibly candid story of how they regained physical intimacy after sexual dysfunction. Anyone who has ever felt such a loss will benefit from the lessons Virginia and Keith learned along their journey.

Most importantly, the couple discovered, it's not erections that allow men and women to be intimate-it's an understanding of the need for a safe and nonjudgemental place where mutual physical pleasure and emotional care can flourish.
