The Virility Solution: Everything You Need to Know about the Medically Proven Potency Pill That Can Restore and Enhance Male Sexuality

While I haven't actually read the book, I'm sure it's bound to be read by a lot of people in search of solutions to impotence. I have however read several of Dr. Lamm's previous books, and would advise everyone to proceed with caution. Dr. Lamm has a tendency to be overly optimistic and enthusiastic about new wonder drugs. Remember, this is the same guy, who wrote an entire book (Thinner at last) saluting Fen-Phen, without cautioning about possible side-effects.So take the information provided with a grain of salt.

Review by Jim Argendeli May 1, 1998review at http://virilitysolution.com/cnnreview.htmlIn the future, "Are you on the pill?" may be a question asked of a man as well as a woman. In the book "The Virility Solution" by Dr. Steven Lamm and Gerald Couzens, the pills in question are the new and highly publicized male potency drugs Viagra (sildenafil) and Vasomax (phentolamine). Lamm, a New York City internist, and Couzens have written a very readable, educational, eye-opening book -- not just about Viagra and Vasomax but how the medication changes a man's definition of his own sexuality and the effects it has on his partner. The book tells of the surprising discovery of the medication and the history of the treatment of male sexual disorders. The authors use case studies and interviews to show the varieties of problems men and their partners experienced pre-Viagra and the uncomfortable and awkward solutions that were available, which included self-injection and surgical implants. However, the book is not just a public relations vehicle for the drugs. The authors discuss the potential side effects (headaches, muscle pain) and insist that patients treat the cause of their problems (physical or mental). They also discuss overall health programs involving diet and exercise. Long-term effects of the drugs are still to be determined.The recent media exposure about the drugs lifted the covers off a problem many men were too embarrassed to talk about, and in the first week following Viagra's approval by the FDA, a record 36,000 prescriptions were filled. As the book points out, having to take medication is not a sign of weakness or inadequacy -- it means a man is dealing with his problem and overcoming it in the most painless, practical way possible.

Lamm's book is timely, informative and helpful. It tells readers about his experiences with Viagra - before the drug was even approved, and focuses on using Viagra effectively to enhance not only the act of sex, but relationships. A must.

... I highly recommend this book to anyone contemplating using any oral medication for the restoration of sexual function. It's authoritative,concise, and drives home the point that sex is more than just a pill. Viagra and Vasomax, and all the drugs that follow, are only facilitators...good sex first starts with communication between couples.
