The Virility Solution expounds upon the benefits of Viagra, the recently FDA-approved impotency pill whose sales are expected to exceed that of Prozac. An estimated 30 million men in America alone suffer from erection difficulties, and that’s a very rough number, given the topic’s still-taboo status and the reluctance of men to discuss their health. For these men, Viagra could be a godsend. Lamm, a former columnist for American Health magazine and an assistant professor of medicine at New York University, could be taking impotence out of the closet with this book. He minces no words, claiming these drugs are “miracle pills.” He also gives dietary guidelines and exercises to reduce stress and further enhance overall health and the all-important blood circulation to the penis, and he adds a chapter about how best to re-ignite one’s sex life. To his credit, Lamm focuses on erection difficulties as not just a personal problem, but one that couples share and can resolve together. In clear, accessible language, Dr. Lamm explains everything you need to know to successfully navigate the new world of sexual medicine. He provides a comprehensive approach to the treatment of potency, including specific dietary suggestions and “virility-friendly” exercises especially designed to enhance sexual performance. He also explains how to assess the impact of the pill on your own relationship, as well as how to calculate a personal “ED risk profile” that illuminates the effect of specific health problems on erectile function. And, especially important, he explains exactly which prescription and over-the-counter medications have the potential to interfere with sexual potency. Just as Prozac broke the taboo about discussing depression and seeking treatment, these new drugs will bring the subject of male potency out of the closet and relieve men everywhere of one of the world’s oldest anxieties: the fear of failure. Whether you’re experiencing specific potency problems or simply wish to be a peak performer, the virility solution that millions have been waiting for can now be yours.
