Editorial Review:

A complete and up-to-date guide for those men (and their partners) concerned about preventing and overcoming impotence. Does increasing age inevitably lead to a sexual decline in men? What are the links between heart attack, stroke, and impotence? Can vasectomy cause sexual dysfunction? Richard Milsten and Julian Slowinksi answer these and numerous other questions in this clear and comprehensive guide to maintaining lifelong sexual health. The authors bring together the two critical areas of expertise--medical and psychological--to explain healthy male sexual function and the problem of sexual dysfunction. With an emphasis on prevention, they discuss the medical and psychological causes of impotence and all available treatment options. Topics include what questions to ask a doctor, what to expect from treatment or therapy, information for women about their partners' health, and a self-evaluation questionnaire. The Sexual Male provides important knowledge for men and women of any age.

Outdated information 2 out of 5 stars.
4 of 5 people found this review helpful.

I made the mistake of purchasing his older book called The A.R.T. of making babies updated edition. Do not buy unless your doing a research paper. This book was written in 1998 and the information is outdated. Make sure you purchase the 2005 edition. I wish amazon.com would have made this clearer. I did read it anyways and had the book been filled with updated information it could be informative. I found the "Couple's guide to In Vitro Fertilization a much better book. Having recently gone through the procedure it was right on the money and very easy to read and understand.

Editorial Review:

Approximately four million couples in the U.S. face infertility. For about 25 percent of them, in vitro fertilization is the best option for conception, yet many couples remain uninformed about the procedure. Written by one of the top in vitro specialists in the country, In Vitro Fertilization, Third Edition presents a clearly written, complete guide to alternative means of conception. Now thoroughly updated and revised, this book discusses everything one needs to know about IVF, including how to find and choose the best in vitro programs, what to expect as you go through the process, and what your chances are of achieving a successful pregnancy. Designed to prepare couples for the complex and emotional process of IVF, this new edition provides readers with the most accurate and current information available. Written in non-technical terminology, this book is the perfect reference for anyone facing this controversial and confusing procedure.

Balanced, reassuring perspective 4 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

West's user-friendly, ten-easy-steps book is actually very meaty. It's not the size of a big city phone book, yet practically every reader will add to his or her knowledge about fertility. It's a new book as of March 2008 which I was happy to see because it's likely to be up-to-date on new findings in the field of baby-making. West includes practical medical information and a helpful emphasis on lifestyle and nutrition, topics I hadn't thought much about in relation to getting pregnant...and not just for women but also for men (my guy read it, too). West knowledgeably addresses both complementary therapies like acupuncture to support fertility as well as more invasive approaches such as in vitro fertilization. West is based in London and so you'll occasionally run across a word of Brit-speak, but this edition was edited for the US market so the web resources and vocabulary are generally American.

Editorial Review:

Having a baby is one of the biggest life-decisions that a couple can make together. Plan to Get Pregnant tells you what you need to do to maximize your chances of conception, and breaks the process down into 10 manageable steps. It not only talks you though getting pregnant, but it also offers guidance on how to stay pregnant, especially through the, often difficult, first trimester. From how to know when you're both ready to become parents and what to eat for maximum fertility, to embarking on IVF treatment and beyond, this book is a must-read for anyone who wants to start a family.

I did get pregnant after one month! 5 out of 5 stars.
12 of 12 people found this review helpful.

I did not follow the diet strictly, but I simplified the diet by buying Amy's brown rice and tofu bowls which had most of the ingredients she recommended. I ate one of these every day for lunch. I also ate yams, yams and more yams. I got them from the local International grocery in St. Louis. I would think it would be hard to implement this diet if you are not in an urban area. I had been trying to get pregnant for a year before I tried this, and when I tried the diet, I got pregnant within a month. I agree that the diet is confusing, and it was impossible for me to follow strictly. But I did do the best I could and it seemed to work.
