Do you want to be a great lover and enjoy consistently great sex? Would you like reliable erections that don't wilt in the middle of lovemaking? Would you like superb ejaculatory control? Would you like your penis to be as large as it can possibly be? Do you want women to sing your sexual praises? All these sexual benefits can be yours if you read Great Sex and take its message to heart.
Author Michael Castleman is the nation's top journalist specializing in men's sexuality. He has been a sex educator, counselor, and writer for 30 years, including 5 years as the expert who answered the sex questions submitted to the Playboy advisor. Written with the help of an advisory board that includes some of the nation's leading sex therapists, Great Sex is certain to help you overcome your sex problems; become a better, more confident lover; and enjoy the sex of your dreams.
Castleman's message is surprisingly simple: Stop imitating the rushed, all-genital sex you see in pornography. Instead, cultivate the opposite: leisurely, playful, total-body, massage-based lovemaking that includes the genitals, of course, but is not focused on them.
Sex inspired by pornography is a major reason why men think their penises are too small and why they have erection and ejaculatory problems. With wit, wisdom, and down-to-earth sympathy for men, Castleman discusses his own penis -- like yours, it's a little too small -- and his own struggles with balky erections, rapid ejaculation, and not expressing orgasm at all. Then, based on state-of-the-art sex therapy techniques, leading sexology texts, and almost 400 medical journal articles, he reveals how to overcome these issues and enjoy a satisfying and exciting sex life.
What's more, the sexual style Castleman advocates is the way most women prefer to make love. Take Castleman's advice and you'll benefit by having a lover who is more arousable, responsive, enthusiastic, and complimentary. In other words, when you embrace sensual, creative, whole-body lovemaking, everybody wins. You have fewer sex problems. The woman you love gets what she wants in bed. And you both enjoy sex that's hotter, more erotic, and more fulfilling.

Excerpt
The following is an excerpt from the book Great Sex
How To Visit a Doctor For an Erection Problem
Before Viagra, some physicians were reluctant to deal with erection problems. No longer. The new openness about ED, plus demand for Viagra, has spurred doctors to take erection impairment seriously. It's a good idea to begin investigating any erection problem by having a check-up. Review the potential physical causes of ED, then use the following guide to obtain a thorough exam.
Describe your situation in detail. How long have you had the problem? When did it begin? How? Did it develop suddenly or gradually? Has it ever improved or suddenly worsened? Under what circumstances? What was happening in your life around the time the problem began? What was happening during the year before it began? Can you raise an erection during masturbation? Do you wake with morning erections? Are you happy with your relationship? If not, why not? What has happened in your relationship because of the problem? Have you withdrawn from sex? Has your partner?
Review your medical history. Relevant items include: your age, weight, cholesterol level, blood pressure, smoking, drinking, over- the-counter and prescription drug use (see page 90), recreational drug use, any recent acute illnesses, and any history of depression, anxiety, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, prostate surgery, pelvic injury, hormonal problems, multiple sclerosis, sickle-cell anemia, spinal cord injury, priapism, Peyronie's disease, or exposure to toxic chemicals.
Review your psychological history. This includes any symptoms of anxiety, depression, phobias, panic attacks, or a fundamentalist religious background in which sex was considered taboo. Bear in mind that drugs used to treat anxiety and depression may have erection-impairing side effects.
Drugs. jot down all the medications you take, both over-the-counter and prescription. Take the list with you. Also, honestly declare how much alcohol you drink and any recreational drugs you use.
Get tested. Tests should include:
* Blood pressure. High readings are associated with ED.
* Cholesterol. High levels increase risk of ED.
* Testosterone. Abnormally low levels usually suggest libido loss, but also contribute to erection problems.
* Glucose tolerance. This tests for diabetes, which increases your risk of ED.
* Thyroid function. Low levels of thyroid hormone are linked to ED.
* LH and Prolactin. Low levels of these pituitary hormones may cause ED.
* PSA. The screening test for prostate cancer.
* Nocturnal Penile Tumescence. This test involves attaching a strain gauge to the penis to see if you have erections while you sleep. The absence of nighttime erections strongly suggests that physical factors are causing the problem.
While physicians are well-equipped to evaluate the physical causes of erection impairment, they may not be the best professionals to evaluate the extent to which the problem results from the very real issues of sexual mythology, relationship problems, emotional stress, or nonsensual lovemaking. To explore these issues, consult a sex therapist.
Regardless of its cause, erection impairment has a major impact on men's lives. The University of Chicago survey asked men with and without ED if they felt happy or unhappy. Those with ED were four times more likely to say they were unhappy. "For many men," Sugrue says, "the ability to raise an erection is the very essence of manhood. As a result, many men consider an erection problem much more than just a sex problem. Many men with ED consider themselves complete failures as men. That can cause tremendous anguish."
