Good
A book that deals with the most common problems that men face in their lifetime, the issue of sexual disorders. No more suffering men that don't know what's happening to them, no more cries for help and no more complains from women, get this book and you'll be ok. A good book but it found the solutions in "Volume II - Natural Penis Enlargement: New methods of avoiding and curing impotence, premature ejaculation, and erectile dysfunction safely and inexpensively. ... Book on CD-Rom for PC & Mac Computers" by Platinum Millennium to be of much more use then the ones presented here

From the author: Objective: This study examined the contribution of alcoholism and marital conflict to male alcoholics' sexual problems. Method: Married couples with an alcoholic husband (n = 26) were compared with 26 maritally conflicted and 26 nonconflicted couples without alcohol-related problems on both sexual dysfunction and sexual satisfaction. Results: The male alcoholics and their wives experienced less sexual satisfaction across a range of variables and more sexual dysfunction--specifically husbands' diminished sexual interest, impotence and premature ejaculation, and wives' painful intercourse--than nonconflicted couples. However. impotence was the only aspect on which alcoholics reported more difficulties than did maritally conflicted couples. When husbands' age was considered, more frequent retarded ejaculation with older age was unique to the alcoholics since it did not occur in conflicted or nonconflicted husbands; and there was a greater decline in frequency of intercourse with older age among the alcoholic than among the conflicted couples. Conclusions: These findings are consistent with a biopsychosoeial formulation of alcoholics' sexual adjustment problems that implicates (1) marital conflict as a major contributing factor to most of these problems and (2) the combined role of both marital conflict and the physical effects of chronic alcohol abuse as most relevant to the elevated rates of impotence and retarded ejaculation (among older alcoholics) and the steeper decline in intercourse frequency with age. (J. Stud. Alcohol 58: 91-99, 1997)

From the supplier: Married couples with an alcoholic husband commonly have sexual dysfunctions and less sexual satisfaction, especially as the husband ages. Researchers conducted a sex survey with couples with an alcoholic husband, with non-alcoholic couples with marital conflict and with non-alcoholic, contented couples. Alcoholic couples have marital conflicts that appear as sexual problems. Alcoholic men have increasing problems with impotence, retarded ejaculation and less frequent intercourse as they age.

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Erectile dysfunction or impotence is a sexual dysfunction characterized by the inability to develop or maintain an erection of the penis. There are various underlying causes, such as damage to the nervi erigentes which prevents or delays erection, or diabetes, which simply decreases blood flow to the tissue in the penis, many of which are medically reversible.The causes of erectile dysfunction may be psychological or physical. Psychological impotence can often be helped by almost anything that the patient believes in; there is a very strong placebo effect. Physical damage is much more severe. One leading physical cause of ED is continual or severe damage taken to the nervi erigentes. These nerves course beside the prostate arising from the sacral plexus and can be damaged in prostatic and colo-rectal surgeries.Due to its embarrassing nature and the shame felt by sufferers, the subject was taboo for a long time, and is the subject of many urban legends. Folk remedies have long been advocated, with some being advertised widely since the 1930s. ... Read more
