A happy home life, a loving relationship, a

good feeling about the future, and fulfilling

sex--this goal is within the reach of nearly

every African American man. Yet millions of

black men experience only the pain, frustra-

tion, and sense of loss when relationships

don t last and families fall apart. Now a

prominent black physician offers under-

standing and practical help to overcome the

roadblocks society puts between African

American men and the relationships they

need.

A book of major importance, MORE THAN

SEX challenges society s myths about the

sexuality of African American men, and

offers dramatic evidence that these widely

accepted stereotypes lie behind a host of per-

sonal and relationship problems for black

men and women. Drawing on real case histo-

ries and a candid assessment of his own life,

Dr. George Edmond Smith shows how nega-

tive images of black men as animalistic and

sexually-focused beings has eroded the

essential foundation for loving relation-

ships--intimacy. Then he addresses the most

urgent concerns of black men today, and of

the women who love them.

Packed with eye-opening information and

sensible advice, MORE THAN SEX

provides a history-making look at the

emotional and societal components of black

male sexuality. It takes on tough problems

about sex and love and answers difficult

questions about alcohol, drugs, promiscuity,

and emotional health. The result is a book

that can change lives...and, one man at a

time, change our world.
