The Emotional Effects of Peyronie’s Disease

By on

Frankly, Peyronie’s Disease is one of those things that men have never even heard of – until it happens to them. There are no commercials about it to pique your interest. There are no products at GNC. There are no spokesmen. It’s completely in the closet. Until the day, like some men, you wake up …

Gay Sexual Medicine

By on

I am often surprised when I am asked if we offer Gay Sexual Medicine (as if who a person has sex with determines sexual function).
