Amazon.com Review
Ever since God got angry with David and took away his potency, male sexual function has been more clouded in mystery and myth than in science. But science has done an admirable job catching up, starting with the clever Belgian cleric who observed barnyard chickens in the mid-19th century and determined that the rooster's testicles were the key to his relentless sexual drive. We now know that about 30 million American men suffer erectile dysfunction; that about 40,000 men a year die of prostate cancer; and that men have three kinds of erections (sexual, frictional, and nocturnal). But there's still a bigger story to tell, and Dr. Richard Spark, a noted endocrinologist, leads us down many paths. We learn about the effects of drugs and alcohol on sexual function, and the role of hormones in male sexual health (and what happens when those hormones are given a boost, usually in the form of an injectable substance purchased in a locker room from a guy with 20-inch biceps). Dr. Spark does an admirable job of lassoing all this information into a very useful guide, keeping it all in layman's terms, and organizing it in such a way that the information you need is easy to find and easy to understand once you find it. Size may not matter in sexual intercourse, but in the case of Sexual Health for Men, the magnitude of the volume definitely translates into value. --Lou Schuler
Product Description
Approximately thirty million American men suffer from impotence, and another five million are infertile. Sooner or later all men have symptoms from enlarged prostate glands and over three hundred thousand will be diagnosed with prostate cancer each year. Here in one volume, written by a leading expert in the field, are the essential facts and reliable advice to help a man understand, cope with, and resolve these issues and many others. Critically examining the recent scientific studies and advances, this wise and compassionate book includes information on: Alternative medicine for men The benefits, risks, and politics of Viagra, penile injections, and penile implants How nerve impulses, blood flow, hormones, and emotional factors can promote or inhibit normal male sexual response The prescription medications, chemicals, and surgery that can affect potency, ejaculation, and fertility

Richard F. Spark is nothing more then a "maintenance manual" for the man, teaching him how to keep his sexual health and not suffer from all the different sexual problems that occur in the world. Great book to read on vacation, but without detail or substance, for this I reckoned "Natural Penis Enlargement: New Methods of Avoiding and Curing Impotence, Premature Ejaculation, and Erectile Dysfunction Safely and Inexpensively. New ... No Pumps, No Pills and No Gadgets! Vol. 2" by Platinum Millennium, a book that I've read and found much more interesting and informative
