Reviews

“A fascinating and eminently readable account of a top clinician’s life work in researching and treating men who suffer from sexual difficulties. Little wonder that Professor Geoff Hackett has been aptly dubbed the “Sex Tsar”. This book is essential reading for every man - and his partner.”    

 
Professor Roger Kirby, President of Royal Society of Medicine 2020.

“It took me less than 5 hours to read this book. I really enjoyed it. The author has cleverly combined autobiography with anecdotal humour and extremely important research- based evidence on the association of impotence/erectile dysfunction with wider issues involving predictable threats to some men’s health and life expectancy… Just a Small Prick” is clearly a book written after decades of clinical experiences and the evolution of its author into the world-renowned authority that he obviously is now.”

“This is a laugh out loud book that will have rolling about with laughter. However, there is a serious side to this book - male sexual health issues are often ignored even though they may be covering up serious problems that are actually very treatable. Do yourself a favour and buy a copy of this book - you'll have a good laugh AND it may make a huge difference to your long-term health.”
