Review
"Well-written review of the subject and a great resource for the patient. I especially like the section on natural treatments." -- Dr. Irving Fishman, Clinical Assistant Professor of Urology, Baylor College of Medicine

Product Description
Dr. Alfred Newman, a Montgomery, Alabama urologist and a leading expert on the treatment of sexual problems, has published Beyond Viagra: Plain Talk About Treating Male and Female Sexual Dysfunction. Sexual dysfunction affects an estimated twenty million men and a similarly large number of women in the United States today. Rapid advances have been made in methods of treatment over the past three decades, and in 1998 the "wonder drug" Viagra appeared.

Newman said he wrote his book to answer questions not only about Viagra but also about the many causes of sexual dysfunction and the range of treatments that are now available, including implants, injections, herbal medicine, and more. The book is written in language that can be easily understood by laypersons but has enough depth to make it a useful reference to general practitioners, psychologists, psychiatrists, and others involved in the treatment of sexual problems.

By A Customer

This is an excellent guide for the male with penile dysfunction. It gives insight to what Viagra can do, as well as alternative procedures available. The illustrations are precise, and easy for the layman to understand. I highly recommend it for anyone (male or female) with this highly sensitive and personal disorder. Dr. Newman deserves highest accolades for writing this timely book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have book that is very comprehensive but easy to read, March 4, 1999

By A Customer

This book is excellent and is a must-have for anyone who is suffering from sexual dysfunction. It is very well written and very easy to read. The two things that I think make this book so great are that #1-It seems very thorough and up-to-date and includes everything you could possibly want to know about sexual dysfunction, and #2-It is very well written and easy to read! There is a good table of contents as well as a good index for quick reference, but there is also a "plain-talk summary" after each chapter where Dr. Newman summarizes the chapter in very simple terms. This makes it very easy to read! Sure the book talks about viagra, but it is much more than that. Dr. Newman begins by discussing both the anatomy and physiology of the male and female sexual response and then devotes one chapter to each of the many different sexual problems that one may encounter - going into great depth but using a writting style that is easy to understand. I'd recommend this book for any couple who wants to know more about what problems they may have, why these problems arise, and what the different treatment options are.
