Or, if you prefer a hardcopy, you can get it at Amazon.com.
Some Amazon reviews:
“This book is a really outstanding source for doctors, counselors, therapists, as well as patients/clients who have experienced difficulties communicating their sexual problems to their health care provider. Moser’s unique education (Phd in sexology as well as a MD), vast research experience, and knowledge in sexual minorities make him the most qualified individual in the field to write this book. The text is short and sweet, to the point, informative, and draws upon Moser’s experience as a physician specializing in sexual medicine. I felt the dual nature of the book (for providers and patients) was useful because it enables everyone to ponder both aspects of the interaction. His recommendations explain how to take control of your health care situation, including what is necessary and what is not. Providers will find this book useful and aid them in developing nonjudgmental techniques with their patients. The explanation of the nature of health care coverage is also informative. Overall, I highly recommend this book. As a human sexuality counselor/educator I can appreciate Moser’s dedication to the field.”
“Several times I have struggled with seeing a doctor about a health-related problem because it might mean I’d have to disclose information about my sexuality. This book tells you how to do so in an informed and calm manner.
Charles IMHO is a hero for writing this book. Not only is there information for the patient on dealing with a doctor’s concern about your “alternative lifestyle,” (ie the section called “For Consumers”) and any related health concerns but also a section for Health care workers near the end of the book (the section called “For Practioners”).”

Zille, I suspect a book such as this might be very useful in San Fransisco, but in my neck of the woods, well if there is any kink it’s buried so deep, you’d need a mechanical digger to get at it.
Love and warm hugs,
Paul.
Paul, my friend — we San Franciscans don’t need the book! Our doctors have already seen everything; we can’t shock them!
It’s exactly in places where the “kink is buried so deep” that this book is needed! The people living there need to learn how to discuss with their doctors things that might be “embarrasing,” but which could effect their health, or which might show up during a physical exam.
Although, of course, you are in the UK. You are all perverts over there!
Just think about the fact that you can buy Nexxus books at every service stations across the country! And CP was legal in the UK until the ’60s! Yours is the wonderful country that brought us Janus and AtomAge! No, I don’t think a British doctor would be too surprised to see fading cane weals on a patient’s bottom!
Hi Lovely! Thank you so much for the link – I’ve sent it on to all my co-workers. It was great talking to you the other night!
