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.

Amazon.com Review
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

Best erectile dysfunction book

Nothing works better than the advice in this book. Other books offer something that might be temporary. This book offers practical advice(like walking) that will improve your health in the long run and less problem with erectile dysfunction. I tried the supplements to treat erectile dysfunction in Ritz's book and thought they were great but they soon did not work. This WORKS Forget the gimmicks.

Good advice

This is basically a book telling you to get off the couch and get some excersize. It does it in a way that is fun and gets the point across.
Connects your overall health to your peis hardness and vs-versa.. If you are out of shape, or just want some extra encouragement to get yourself out into the workout world this is a good read.

Exceptional reading

I highly recommend this book for any man regardless of lifestyle or condition. I wasn't able to follow the book exactly but still had great results after only a few days of taking the supplements.

A Cookbook

There isn't anything here but a collection of recipes. Fact is I barely looked at it because of that. When I scanned through it and saw that I was very disappointed. Thank you.
