In writing this exciting new book, Dr. Krychman has become the “Answer Man” in the field of sexual medicine. He has skillfully navigated through many facets of contemporary sexual medicine, comprehensively reviewing areas as diverse as drug treatments for sexual problems and alternative medical approaches. His clear, explicit approach is rich with information, while his style suggests more that he communicating with a colleague rather than addressing a patient. “100 Questions and Answers…” is a treasure trove of important facts about modern-day sexual health, which is extremely accessible to the reader.

Sexuality is an essential part of human experience, and remains an area that can be significantly compromised by various disease states, drugs, and other factors. Despite this, the concept of sexual health remains one that is not readily embraced by Western medicine. The field of sexual medicine seeks to change this in order to provide patients and their providers both the foundation and the therapeutic options to address sexual difficulties, all with the aim of enhancing quality of life. In light of this, Dr. Krychman's book, 100 Questions and Answers for Female Sexual Wellness and Vitality, serves an important role for the continued education of both patients and providers. THis book offers concise and practical information while avoiding med-speak. It is as accesible to women as it is to their partners and their providers. I have no doubt it will serve as an ever important resource of the primary care provider, specialist, and the woman, seeking information and acknowledgment about sexual health.
