When Sex is a Skirmish Between Mind and Body

from Dr. Carole's Couch · host Dr. Carole Lieberman

We've all had occasions, when it comes to sex, that our mind wanted to go one way and our body wanted to go another. There are many different rhymes and reasons for this to be so. One of the most elusive ones is when- unbeknownst to us- our hormones go awry. Today's guest, Ken Baker, is an award-winning author and journalist, Sr. Correspondent for E! News and E! Online. His new book, The Late Bloomer: A Memoir of My Body, delves into his own personal skirmishes between his mind and body - with unflinching honesty, intimacy and humor. Beginning in adolescence, Ken lived with an undiagnosed pituitary tumor that wreaked havoc with his hormones-causing him to feel confused and unable to perform sexually, along with many other problems. He's been called 'the man who almost missed puberty'. It is a true story and a poignant exploration of what it means to be male in today's society.
