Product Description
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 |

Solid Book by Whisper9999 (USA)  4 Stars
August 29, 2009
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.

"Great book" A must read! Outstanding for a mans overall health! It's about time men take charge of their health and learn the signs of poor health! No one talks about things like this because its not cool well let me say this having lost a father to prostrate cancer at 59 years of age who never went to the Doctor....read, learn, exercise, eat right and take better care of yourselves go to the Doctor when you don't feel right or have questions! Don't be imbaresed! Your life may depend on it! Buy this book and educate yourself! It's for your health and the bedroom!

It works but by One and only (Netherlands) 5 Stars
June 26, 2009
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 by Gerald Strothers (Cleveland Ohio) 5 Stars
January 12, 2009
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 did more for me than their expensive candy pills. LOL
Who knows how I found the book: The Hardness Factor by Steven Lamm, M.D. and started following the six week program. I got it here on Amazon.com by the way (hint, hint). That book coupled with the purchase of a comfort bicycle and a lot of riding has made me quite a popular guy on the dating scene.
It's not all about Viagra, in order for that to work there must be other things happening is what I found out after following the Hardness Factor. Protein is the worst enemy for Viagra and if anyone is trying to get the maximum result has to try not to eat much heavy food and no fried stuff on game day.
At age 50 I am living with a new attitude and ability sort of like my late 20's where my phone now rings off the hook with ladies who want to date me. Trust me, I have just about every self-help book ever made for men and only a handful actually work. But if you follow the six week program there will be a definite improvement in your relationship and your only ups and downs will be between the sheets.
Hope this helps you out a little bit and comes from a man who was there and now wonders what age will it all end, perhaps in my 70's ? That gives me another 20 years of this I guess and either way I'm keeping air in my bicycle tires and my copy of The Hardness Factor handy. TTFN

Best erectile dysfunction book by William E. Hemphill (Alton, IL United States) 5 Stars
September 28, 2008
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.
