Summary:

Too often, people with alternative sexualities -- the gay or lesbian or bisexual, the non-monogamous or kinky -- have trouble finding competent, understanding care for their mental and physical health.

Now, Dr. Charles Moser -- one of the nation's leading authorities on sexuality-related medicine -- has created a comprehensive guidebook for anyone who's ever struggled with the sentence, "Doctor, there's something I have to tell you..."

Dr. Moser explains how and when to come out to your health care provider, how to protect your confidentially, how to handle it if a health care provider isn't understanding about your alternative sexuality, how to deal with sex-related emergencies, and more. He also includes detailed information on dealing with other professionals such as therapists, attorneys, and accountants.

Vital information for anyone whose sexuality, is non-traditional -- and for any health care provider who wants to provide the best possible care for patients of all descriptions.
