Hard is good, harder is better -- for your health, your libido, your life. Such is the provocative premise behind Dr. Steven Lamm's The Hardness Factor, a groundbreaking book that will change the way men live and love. The Hardness Factor measures male health through the quality of an erection -- perhaps the greatest male motivator for better living (more so than fear of cancer, heart attack, or stroke). The Hardness Factor asks, Can men be hard and in shape for sex their entire lives? The answer is, absolutely. Here for the first time are scientific, evidence-based regimens -- emphasizing nutrition, supplements, and exercise -- to increase erectile quality. By following the programs in The Hardness Factor, you will
improve overall health;
produce stronger, harder, and longer-lasting erections;
increase strength, fitness, flexibility, and vitality;
restore self-confidence; and
achieve maximum sexual gratification with your partner.
A renowned New York clinician, bestselling author, and a favorite expert on the television show The View, Dr. Lamm offers straight talk for men of all ages in "The Four-Day Insurance Policy," which can provide a quick fix for that upcoming Saturday night (or any other dating emergency), and the more detailed "Six-Week Hardness Factor Program," which will improve a man's sex drive, stamina, hardness, and, most of all, health. This comprehensive guide also includes numerous recipes created by acclaimed chef Waldy Malouf, aimed at promoting nutritional health and jump-starting the libido.
After following The Hardness Factor, you will not only achieve optimal health and sexual fitness but also understand why the penis is the best barometer of a man's health.
Lamm (The Virility Solution, Thinner at Last), a practicing internist and expert on male sexual health, insists there is a direct link between the quality of a man's overall health and the quality of his erections. Just as physicians can measure a patient's blood pressure and percentage of body fat, Lamm claims he can measure the strength of a man's erections (The Hardness Factor) using a new computerized device invented by a Spanish urologist. He is, therefore, not just interested in whether or not a guy can get hard during sex, but how hard. No wonder he's such a popular guest on women's talk shows like Oprah and The View. It is this ability to measure hardness that allows Lamm to argue it can be improved in six weeks. The program outlined in the book is heavily focused on diet and exercise with the use of a few key supplements (Pycnogenol, L-Arginine, omega-3 fatty acids, Niacin, Vitamins C and E, and Horny Goat Weed). While there is a place for prescription drugs like Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis, Lamm believes these should generally be reserved for those with more serious health problems limiting their ability to achieve erections, such as diabetes, heart disease, and the aftermath of prostate cancer surgery. Most men he treats don't need them. And one upside to this often-embarrassing issue is that by getting healthier in order to get harder, men can avoid the underlying illnesses that would require the use of such drugs in the future.--Patrick Jennings

Good basic text on the subject:
This was a good book from many points. Its ability to explain the background of erection is second to none. Lots of informative information here. If you want a book with all that you need to learn under one cover, this is the book for you. While most of the information can be found on the Internet for free, it's nice to have it one volume, so one doesn't have to go searching for it. The only other book I would recommend is Iron Man Penis which takes these topics to a more advanced spectrum.
Solid Book:
This is an excellent book overall. There is much, much more to treating erectile dysfunction than is in this book but this book does a nice job of covering some of the basics to getting guys back on their feet again. One of the best things it does is draw a strong connection between heart disease and erectile dyfunction, which is something that many males do not consider.
It works but:
You could summarize the whole book in a couple of sentences. Loose weight. Get fit. Go walking. Take pycnogenol and l-arginine. And presto. It sure worked for me. And I thought it would take years! Glad I bought the book because it motivates more than the couple of sentences I just wrote.
Ups and Downs between the sheets thanks to this:
The Hardness Factor : How to Achieve Your Best Health and Sexual Fitness at Any Age I posted this in the Sexual Form here on Amazon: Interesting post and I just want to say that my problems were much the same as you mentioned here. I was with a woman who claimed that I was less of man because of E.D. After parting with her I wandered for some time buying just about every self-help book or pill on the market. The folks who sponsor "Smiling Bob" got a chuckle when I told them that the candy Skittles... more info
