1 The books - highly recommended
Male Menopause, Jed Diamond, pub by Sourcebooks, Inc, Naperville, 1997 |
Essential reading for anyone facing andropausal challenges; Diamond majors on the psychological aspects, but he is
well worth a look. He is excellent at challenging men's limitations on our outlook. Don't think you have to be a New Ager
to benefit from having your consciousness raised! |
Maximizing Manhood, Dr Malcolm Carruthers, published by Harper Collins,
London (1997)
|
Malcolm Carruthers' book is the definitive statement about the andropause based on his experience of treating thousands
of men experiencing these problems. It is a must-read if you are over 40. Clear and concise, but not written in technical
language, it will help you understand what is happening to you and what you CAN do about it. You'll breath a sigh of relief
when you read his accounts of other men's andropause experience ("I'm not alone in this!" - and you're not, of course). In
short, if you are worried about failing sexual performance, you MUST read this book. (By the way, the Amazon.co.uk website
has the old cover version pictured on their site.) |
Gold Cross Medical Services |
Dr Malcolm Carruthers' web site - includes a useful on-line resource for testing
out whether or not you might have the andropause. |
The Testosterone Syndrome, Eugene Shippen, published by M Evans & Co, New York (1998)
|
Another great book on the subject: clear, concise, very well-written, accessible
to all men. Eugene Shippen is an expert, like Dr Carruthers, and I imagine he writes with a wry glint in his eye, knowing
as he does how he has the answers to so may men's questions about failing sexual performance and ageing. Mind you, his
burning passion to save men from the sense that they are demasculinized by their failing sexual ability is very clear too.
Good for him! Again, an absolute must-read for men over 40. |
Testosterone and Sexuality |
A site related to Dr Eugene Shippen's book. |
Andrology E. Nieschlag (Editor), H. Behre (Editor)
Testosterone: Action, Deficiency, Substitution, edited by E Nieschlag H M Behre, published by Springer, 1998
|
Buy either of these if you're a medical expert, scientist, doctor or fanatic. They are the definitive textbooks on the
pharmacology of the male hormonal system and andrology. More information than you ever dreamed of. |
2 Male resources on the andropause, ageing and impotence
Fred's site - see below - is the best resource ever on the subject,
I recommend it.
Midlife-passages |
Some interesting material, more of an introduction than a deep analysis, but
worth a look. Comes from the Institute of Endocrinology, set up by a team of physicians and nurses to provide integrated health
care for men and women. |
HealthyNet Library |
A nice piece by Dr Michael Schacter about the andropause |
Open Directory Page of Impotence Links |
The great thing about the Open Directory Project is that it is a list of the
best resources on the web compiled by humans. If the editor, as here, knows what he is doing, the directory becomes a great
resource for quickly finding what you need to know. This link will take you to the entry page from where you can drill down
to get whatever information you need. |
Life Extension Foundation |
A great site on male ageing and the case for testosterone replacement therapy.
Very detailed information, well worth a look. |
Optimale |
Offering hormonal analysis and male hormone replacement therapy by post.
As the site itself emphasizes, don't forget to have your PSA test done if you are looking for hormone replacement therapy.
|
Fred's Page of Impotence Information |
Set up by one of the founders/leaders of the newsgroup alt.support.impotence.
Live to be 100, you'll never find a more excellent or comprehensive set of references and internet links on all aspects
of male sexuality, sexual function, physiology, hormone replacement therapy, sexual anatomy, impotence, erectile dysfunction
you name it, it's there - go and look, but make sure you have plenty of time! It is truly amazing, and, Fred - thank you! |
alt.support.impotence
Deja News sign on page |
The support group for impotence, has loads of contributors in a supportive,
knowledgeable forum: whatever your question, it's likely to get an answer here. I would suggest that you access the group
through Deja News, which I find the best way of accessing all the archived material. Some ISP's don't provide much history
for newsgroups. The link on the left will take you there. |
