Editorial Reviews

Author Steve Amoia presents his comprehensive and brutally honest story... Tackling the ins and outs of this surprisingly common condition, yet one that remains stigmatized and poorly understood in many circles. Most powerfully, this account examines some of the obstacles - personal, psychological, emotional, and sexual - that keep people from seeking help... Amoia lays out the science in a clear and accessible way supporting it with references... An important, engaging, and visceral revelation.
