Description
Book SynopsisThis challenging critique explores the current constraints and opportunities for addressing and promoting the sexual health of men. It redresses the balance between society's traditional views and expectations of men's sexual health, compared to the sexual health of women. The wide-ranging approach critically considers all aspects of sexual health, including historic developments, social considerations, personal issues and political climates. Authoritative and evidence-based, "The Sexual Health of Men" brings together experts from the fields of sexual health research, education and practice. It is highly recommended for health and social care professionals, including nurses, doctors, social workers, health advisers and sexual health service providers. Health researchers, and policy makers and shapers will find the research of great interest, as will all those concerned about the sexual health and well-being in men.
Trade Review'Laura Serrant-Green and John McLuskey are to be congratulated... This book is accessible and informative, and will help readers to make informed contributions.' NURSING STANDARD " A comprehensive impression of what men's sexual health is. The text is current, evidence based and will appeal not only to those practitioners who are involved in the ongoing development and provision of men's sexual health care, but also to those reviewing the evidence to support provision." The Practising Midwife 'A useful source in promoting the sexual health of men. The book covers a great deal, ranging from socio-cultural critiques of masculinity to health policy, and back via physical and clinical issues. Recent strengths of work around the sexual health of men are well represented in this collection.' COMMUNITY PRACTITIONER
