Review

Better Sex Through Chemistry gives detailed information on the new "prosexual" drugs and nutrients. Included are substances that can enhance human sexuality and performance. Better Sex Through Chemistry also offers effective treatments for sexual difficulties. Making use of the new prosexual drugs and nutrients can also improve overall health. Many of these substances have a wide range of health benefits and have been shown in scientific studies to enhance immune function, slow aging, alleviate depression, assist fat loss, improve memory and cognition, and more. The prosexual drugs and nutrients selected for extensive coverage in Better Sex Through Chemistry all feature a high level of safety. Better Sex Through Chemistry explains how each drug or nutrient works, how it can be obtained, and how to use it (including complete information on dosage, precautions, and other safety issues). Better Sex Through Chemistry is a excellent reference book on a major health issue. -- Midwest Book Review

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent Compendium but Very Shallow Understanding, October 29, 2000

This review is from: Better Sex Through Chemistry : A Guide to the New Prosexual Drugs and Nutrients. (Paperback)

A better book than some others on the market but still just a collection of "facts" drawn from various sources. Little understanding of the deeper processes or issues involved. I would have much appreciated some critical first-person reviews of the various potions - if the authors have the nerve to recommend a substance, they should have had the nerve to try it out themselves first - and the honesty to report their real experiences or lack thereof. For example, bromocryptine has a lengthly chapter but the authors obviously never tried it themselves or they would have painted a much more complex and useful picture of its effects. Nor do they understand what its psychosexual effects are - much different from what standard medical usage would suggest. Reads like a poor high school term paper from someone who did a lot of notetaking but little thinking or re-writing.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great Title and Cover Artwork, July 9, 2000

This review is from: Better Sex Through Chemistry : A Guide to the New Prosexual Drugs and Nutrients. (Paperback)

I bought this book several years ago, and tried many of the recommendations. The book was filled with flowery descriptions of 'nutritional supplements' and their effects that in almost every case vastly surpassed the reality I experienced while enacting the suggestions. This book does have limited merit, but it was clearly a stretch for the authors to expand the amount of information from brochure length into a smallish paperback book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lack of credibility a serious flaw in such a book, September 28, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Better Sex Through Chemistry : A Guide to the New Prosexual Drugs and Nutrients. (Paperback)

Neither author evidently has any professional degree or apparent qualification to write a scientific book. I think that most readers would find them to be considerably more credible if they had such a degree, especially in view of the fact that Morgenthaler and Joy frequently foray onto (and beyond) the fringes of scientific knowledge. Such speculation would perhaps be tolerable if it were being espoused by someone who had a solid base of scientific training who had very sound reasons for conjecturing in this manner; it is difficult if not impossible for a reader who has no scientific background to judge whether or not the speculations of authors who have no scientific training are credible. The cover art and one of the fonts used in the text of this book can be best described as comical; they further detract from the credibility of the book. The authors demonstrate poor judgement in praising certain substances such as GHB, the infamous date rape drug.
