Book Tour Passionate Sex Goes To Palm Beach Dr. Stein arrived in town for an evening book-signing for PASSIONATE SEX at the main book store. He and co-author, Leslie Aldridge Westoff received a very warm welcome from shop owner Candice Cohen who had ordered white wine and stocked up with cases of books for the occasion. She and her staff mentioned they had all read PASSIONATE SEX and found it well written, easy to read, extremely informative and enjoyable. Dr. Dan Stein signing his book at The Palm Beach Book Store with co-author Leslie Aldridge Westoff looking on. There was an excellent turnout of people who were enthusiastic about the book and appeared anxious to take advantage of the opportunity to discuss their various personal problems in the areas of intimacy and sexuality with Dr. Stein. One woman was a young psychiatrist who arrived with her father, also a psychiatrist. Her practice was primarily with adolescents and young adults who had troubled histories. She was anxious to use PASSIONATE SEX for patient education and to emphasize for them the importance of involving your mind and spirit in the actions of your body. They finally left after a long discussion with Dr. Stein. But during the course of the reception, her father came back after having read sections throughout the book. He had decided to purchase one for himself in order to use it in treating his own patients, rather than to share his daughter's. Dr. Stein then spoke with a young woman whose boyfriend told her to go to a bookstore and buy a book on sex because she was so bad in bed. She briefly told the story of being with this boyfriend and feeling somewhat rejected by his demands that she buy a book on sex when, in fact, she was open to any form of sexuality, but really didn't have her heart in her sexual contact with him. In discussing the situation with Dr. Stein it became quite clear that her body was going places that her mind and spirit were not ready for since she really didn't love the man. Dr. Stein suggested that she both buy the book and dump her boyfriend. He told her that her self-esteem would be greatly enhanced by reserving the loving actions of her body for someone she both respected and felt committed to mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Then another woman came in wishing to buy a book. As the evening went on, she told the doctor her story. She was 28, and had had a complete hysterectomy for ovarian cancer. She had a young child. Her husband complained that their sex life had been good before the child was born and the cancer was discovered. But after her surgery their sex life stopped. She had not had hormone replacement for about a year after the surgery. Dr. Stein was shocked at the apparent disregard for her psycho-sexual well-being and explained to her that there was no harm in replacing the natural hormones from her missing ovaries. He told her that testosterone is responsible for stimulating the sex drive, sexual responsiveness, sex interest and vitality in women and that about one-third of the total ovarian hormone productions in normal women is testosterone or a precursor of testosterone. He also suggested incorporating ideas from the book into her loving. Mingling with other book-buyers, Dr. Stein was pleased at the number of women who were only too happy to discuss their personal problems despite the seemingly embarrassing nature of them and despite the fact that they were in a public area in a book store. If the point of writing the book was to help people, it was obvious that Dr. Stein had succeeded. | HOME | Rx For: | Passionate Sex | Incontinence | Staying Healthy | | About Dr. Stein | The Radio Show | Request Information |
