The Hardness Factor: How to Achieve Your Best Health and Sexual Fitness at Any Age

by Steven Lamm, Gerald Secor Couzens

A diet, exercise, and supplement regimen to help men achieve optimal sexual fitness Sexual fitness goes hand in hand with overall health: Good sex means a man is most probably in good condition. The Hardness Factor is a comprehensive guide to sexual fitness for men, pointing the way to an enhanced self image, better sex, and improved health, and detailing how to increase sex drive and develop a measurably harder erection in just four days. The advent of Viagra and its competitors is a sign that we are entering a new era of male sexual health, in which erectile problems are glitches to be overcome, not sources of shame and anxiety. This is the first major trade book to identify and describe how to achieve and preserve optimal penile hardness―and to show why the actual degree of hardness is the all-important barometer of a man’s overall health. Drawing on the cutting-edge research that he has carried out over the past several years with his Digital Inflection Rigidometer, New York clinician and researcher Dr. Steven Lamm explains his revolutionary approach to achieving and maintaining maximal male sexual performance, with easy-to-follow suggestions that translate to not only better sex, but greater emotional intimacy and a longer and more fulfilling life. Dr. Lamm gives men all the tools and information they need to take control of their bodies, including health quizzes and a simple at-home test to assess one’s hardness.

This is an excellent health book for men and the women in their lives. I got it for my husband and then read it cover to cover myself. Well-written, informative, helpful, and easy to read. I've recommended it to several girlfriends who have questions and/or concerns about their husbands' health.

I guess the publishers decided they liked the title, "The Hardness Factor", better than Fitness for Boners. It could have gone either way.

Actually not what i was expecting, thought this was just going to be an out and out sex manual but you should never judge a book by its cover, it deals with all variations and degrees of erectile dysfunction and how it can be changed not just with drugs but natural herbal remedies, a change in lifestyle and diet.
Also included are meals and diet planners, lists of exercises that will help to keep the overall body healthy and reduce the risk of heart disease and many other ailments, all in all more of a sexual health book than just a smutty manual.
An interesting read.

Great book about the correlation between a Man's sexual health and overall general physical health. The doctor also provides exercise information, supplement information and diet information for helping a man even late in the years to enjoy an active sexual life, overall not bad

Men need to attend to their weight and their fitness and their overall health and if they do, sexual readiness and performance will likely follow. Now that's motivation!
