This book is the first of its kind to apply existential principles to sexual problems, providing clinicians with the tools to understand male sexuality more deeply. It explores an existential view of male sexual dysfunction, non-sexual trauma, hypersexuality, changing bodies through illness, age, and injury, and examines badly behaved men to understand the meaning of certain behaviors. It will be an invaluable resource for sex therapists, marriage and family therapists, psychologists, and social workers in practice and training.

This groundbreaking work is the first of its kind, delving into the realm of sexual problems by applying existential principles. It offers clinicians a valuable toolset to gain a deeper understanding of male sexuality. Drawing from the foundations of existential psychotherapy, author Water introduces the concept that the penis serves as a channel for male emotion, thereby influencing their capacity to form and sustain intimate relationships. The subsequent chapters explore an existential perspective on male sexual dysfunction, non-sexual trauma, hypersexuality, the transformative effects of illness, aging, and injury on bodies, and the examination of misbehaving men to unravel the significance behind certain behaviors.

As a comprehensive resource, this book is of immense value to sex therapists, marriage and family therapists, psychologists, and social workers, both in practice and in training. It equips them with the therapeutic skills necessary to enhance their comprehension of the psychological experiences of men. By embracing the existential framework, practitioners can foster empathy, compassion, and effective interventions that address the unique challenges and complexities faced by men in their sexual lives and relationships.

This book is a testament to the power of psychotherapy in addressing the profound and multifaceted aspects of human sexuality. It provides a valuable contribution to the field and empowers clinicians to provide holistic and compassionate care to their male clients.
