I've read 4 other PE books (by Keesling, Mantak/Chia, Venus,and Kaplan) and this is by far and away the worst of them all. Thebook is published in very large print and bound in an "expensive soft-cover" that must be the reason the price is so high.

IT DIDN'T HELP ME AT ALL. Specifically, I found the content to be very bland, unprovacative, and completely unhelpful. I am looking to throw my copy away. It doesn't even deserve the one star rating I gave it

-objective, unbiased reader (who wishes he never bought the book)

It seems that most of the good and the bad reviews about this book are written by anonymous "reader" living in the middle of nowhere. I bought this and some of the other books available at Amazon hoping to improve my 12 years marriage. I reviewed all of them before I gave them to my husband. We both think that this is the least helpful. Yes, there are pictures but so what? We are not interested in poor quality porn magazine. If you want to improve your sex life it is better to consider one of the other books. They are more content rich and do not make it difficult for you to read them because of a huge font.

I'm not the author and I'm not the publisher. I'm a guy who bought this book months ago and have used it to begin the long process of gaining control. I do not believe in easy answers and I have read lots of books and tried lots of things. I like this approach because it lays out a way to work on the problem and I think I am finally getting the hang of it. It does take time. There are not that many books on this topic and I've read them. The stop and start method is described in all of them including this book, so he is on target as far as what others are thinking. However, I believe that he adds more and this has seemed to make a difference. If you want an easy answer, don't buy this book. It may not be the best written book on the market, but it has been very helpful to me.

This book is one of the few available resources for men who are looking to improve their ejaculatory control. The book is written by a sex therapist who has many years of experience treating men (and their partners) with this sexual concern. The author's humor and relaxed style make the book entertaining and an easy-read despite the enormous amount of information contained "between the covers." (I couldn't resist!) The main purpose of the book is for self-help. However, the book can also be used in conjunction with sex therapy, if sex therapy becomes required. As a sex therapist myself, I recommend this book without reservation. It is a small investment to make for the gain of Male Sexual Endurance.

Dr. Birch has written a fabulous book. For those that are hoping to read the book and have their problems solved RIGHT AWAY, then this book is not for you. However, by reading the book and following Dr. Birch's clear steps and suggestions, and then working with yourself to conquer your setback, the possibilites are endless. I went from about 10 minutes to an hour and a half. But most importantly, I am now able to be "in complete control", without the feelings of embarrassment and self let down. By reading the book, it gave me the keys to opening my sexual doors and walking through them successfully. It wont happen 1-2-3, but Dr. Birch lays out a wonderful path.

I feel sorry for the guy who keeps buying book after book, looking for some quick easy solution to his premature ejaculation. To me, this book makes sense. It gave me a way to think about my quick response that is quite reasonable and then outlined a way to begin the process of working on it. My wife read the book with me and together we have made the "homework" fun and have stopped looking for someone to tell us the magic. And oh yes, the author could have used smaller print and a smaller size... but then it would have been just a smaller fatter little book... dah! We liked the illustrations which were instructive without being explicit. We both felt that this author has considered the woman's pleasure, and not just the man's durability!)

The book makes sense and the author warns that this is something that takes time and practice. My partner and I keep thinking of the steps laid out and when we do as advised, we spend much more time in our lovemaking and it is much more fun. I would recommend the book to any man who is willing to take the time to get to where they want to get.

I found this book to be completely unhelpful. The techniques are trite, and there is little psychological insight. Further, the publisher uses a VERY large print, and if the font was "normal", the book would have no more than 100 pages. Poorly written, poorly referenced, and completely unhelpful.

We don't understand the guy who said this book was not informative. He must have been looking for a magic bullet. My wife (who is a counselor) and I read it together and found it informative, entertaining and helpful. She's no longer blaming me for my premature ejaulation and she loved the emphasis on communication and sensuality. I liked the suggestions (and illustrations) on positions that work best. We have read other books on the topic and have found this one the best.

Have you noticed that there seem to be a lot of guys who are looking for deep psycholoical insight and an easy "cure," all written in small print. Amazing! My husband and I have tried the psychology stuff and all the other promised quick permanent cures and nothing changed. Dr. Birch lays out a strategy used by others, but puts it into a natural context (my husband no longer feels pathological) and spells out what needs to be done over a period of time (no quick solutions) and in what sexual positions (and we love to scissor). If you are willing to commit yourself to working on ejaculatory control (with or without a mate), then this is the book that will tell you what you must do and why (so what that it is in big print). If you want a quick easy answer in small print, look elsewhere... and good luck.
