Turning 50 can be one of the most powerful and positive sexual passages in a man's life," writes Barbara Keesling, a sexuality and psychotherapy educator. However, "the focus has to be on lovemaking, not erections - on partnership, not performance."

In this superb self-help guide, Dr. Susan Forward helps you understand your man's destructive pattern and the part you play in it.
