"Dead Men Don't Have Sex. A Guy's Guide to Surviving Prostate Cancer" gives practical, been-there-done-that advice for men diagnosed with prostate cancer and their families. It's written in a crisp, entertaining style that makes it a quick read for anyone touched by this disease. For men who are in a hurry to know the answers to a multitude of questions, many of them highly personal, the format of Dead Men Don't Have Sex is perfect. The table of contents will get the reader to what he or she needs to know in ten seconds or less, with such sub-headings as, "What surgery is really like" and "Four things every woman should know about prostate cancer." Additionally, the author uses a journal format throughout, with day 1 being the day of his diagnosis, day 31 his surgery, day 63 his first time being intimate with his wife after the surgery, and day 365 the final entry in the book, with a well-done synopsis of his year. Nearly 200,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer every year, and the search for high quality resources to help them in their battle to stay alive and sexually active can be a daunting and sacred endeavor. Fortunately, there are people like Robert Hill, who lived through the diagnosis, surgery, and all important post-surgery months and years, and felt drawn to share his experiences. Dead Men Don't Have Sex can and should be added to the short list of must-read books for men who are confronted with prostate cancer.
