Accesible, professional advice by a renowned physician on a problem that affects millions of impotence. In this breakthrough book, Dr. Danoff shows why the leading cause of decreased sexual performance is "between your ears, not between your legs" and offers sage advice to counter the problem.
Hi. My name is Dr. Dudley Danoff. I am the attending urologic surgeon and founder/president of the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Tower Urology Group in Los Angeles, California.
Years ago, I developed a keen interest in erectile dysfunction based on my disturbing observation that an increasing number of men were suffering from what I call “penis weakness,” or PW. I noted that there was very little discussion within the urologic community about the significance of this problem in male genital health.
As I looked deeper into this major issue, I realized that the stigma of penis weakness was a force that had not only been plaguing men in modern times but also probably men throughout all of history. I began to speak out and write about the principal characteristics of this alarming pandemic and discovered a deep reality about men and their relationships to their penises: the vast majority of males suffer from some form of PW at some point in their lives, be it physical, psychological, or both.
The most significant aspect of the PW phenomenon is that its debilitating effects are, in most cases, compounded by a general lack of knowledge about male sexuality among men and women. For too many years, men who have suffered from self-doubt and anxiety caused by PW have done so without any guidance from the medical community—especially not from the professional urologic community.
Coming to the realization that something needed to be done, I set out to write what I hoped would be the all-inclusive guide to overcoming the medical and psychological factors that lead to PW. My aim is to replace ignorance and mythology with factual information and to replace self-doubt with confidence. My goal is to help every man realize, achieve, and maximize his Penis Power™.
As a busy urologic surgeon in Los Angeles, California, I have seen more than 200,000 penises in my professional lifetime. While each is unique, just as hands and feet are unique, they are also remarkably alike anatomically. However, there is enormous variation in how they function in their sexual capacities. I have observed that these differences in functionality and capacity have very little to do with the anatomy of a particular penis or even with a man’s size, looks, level of success, wealth, or status.
Mainly, functionality and performance is about how men perceive their own penises. In addition to understanding its biological functions, every man must learn that his penis is an organ of expression. What gives it its power is much more than the condition of its blood vessels and nerves.
My book, Penis Power™, describes a transformative concept based on positive thinking. Applying the power of positive thought to your penis can change your entire life.
The primary message of my book is that your penis is what you think it is. It is as big as you think it is. It is as reliable as you think it is. It is as potent as you think it is.
I found this in a street library, and couldn't resist. It promised to help me become superpotent - a dynamic quality that will affect all phases of my life - through penis power!
Full disclosure - I have a penis, and yet nobody has ever accused me of being superpotent. As a urologist who has helped over 100,000 men, could Dr Danoff help me achieve that benchmark?
The book starts with a dedication to "my father, Alfred, my lifelong pal, a loving husband, and a true man of penis power". I kid you not.
The ick factor starts there, and ascends through varying levels to truly superpotent levels of ick. Published in 1993, it reads like an insider's guide to the patriarchy. Its full of nods & winks to the men he has helped to superpotency and the wild life they lead with their superpotent penii - and little anecdotes about the hot receptionist he would use to assess if his patients really had a physical health reason for impotence, or whether they would respond to fantasizing about her, rather than their wives. Truly revolting.
Its a slim book, and the central theme boils down to "be confident in yourself and you'll be able to get hard, no worries". Sweet, that's sorted then. Saved you from having to read it. I saw that there was NOT ONE REVIEW of this book on Goodreads (a first! Does it truly shock me that NO men felt confident enough to admit they read a book about erectile dysfunction?) so I couldn't resist the opportunity.
My recommendation - should you ever find this in a remainder pile somewhere, and are feeling charitable, buy it and bin it before anyone else is silly enough to read it. Mine is off for recycling as we speak.
