Dudley Seth Danoff MD FACS - Penis Power: The Ultimate Guide to Male Sexual Health

Finally, an easy and practical approach to male sexuality. Penis Power is the book that every man (and woman) will go to when questions arise about the performer and the act of the performance.

Dr. Danoff, a world-class urologist, has written a world-class book that should be read by every man and woman who enjoys sex.

A great book. Penis Power is a must-read for all men and women who love sex!

Dr. Danoff brings forward his deep knowledge and experience as a leading urologist in an educational and entertaining book that should address every question that most men utter only inside the confines of their doctors exam rooms. I should tell you that their wives and girlfriends ask me the same questions, and this book is a great resource for them as well.

A must-read for all men who care about their physical and sexual health.

A stimulating and educational medical guide that will renew mens lives in the bedroom and keep them out of the operating room.

Insightful, educational, and liberatingthis book is going to help a lot of people.

Simply the most empowering book of the millenniuma mastery of storytelling.

At last it is great to see a volume that produces such a constant flow of information. The information fills nearly every void on the subject and finally exposes the long and short of it.

One of the best books I have ever read on male sexual health; extremely well written, easy to understand, informative, and lighthearted.

Where was this book when I was growing up? I could have been Superman instead of Caspar Milquetoast!

Penis Power is definitely original. Its also clever, informative, and entertaining.

A book loaded with wisdom and wit, masterfully written by Dr. Dudley Seth Danoff. I recommend this book highly as a happy Dr. Danoff patient. For over thirty-five years, he has kept my below the belt confidence high and my PSA low.

I have been a practicing urologist for more than thirty years. It was a little more than ten years ago when I first made the disturbing observation that an increasing number of American men were suffering from what I call penis weakness.

At that time, there was very little discussion within the urologic community about the significance of this problem in male genital health. As I looked deeper into the issue, it struck me that as much as the stigma of penis weakness was plaguing men in modern times, it had probably been plaguing men throughout all of history.

I began to speak out and write about the principal characteristics of this pandemic. In so doing, I discovered a deeper reality about men and their relationships to their penises. I learned that the vast majority of males have suffered from some form of penis weakness: physical, psychological, or both.

The most significant aspect of the penis weakness phenomenon is that its debilitating effects are, in most cases, compounded by a lack of knowledge by both men and women. For too many years, men who have suffered from the self-doubt and anxiety caused by penis weakness have done so without any guidance from the medical community in general and shockingly little significant support from the professional urologic community in particular.

I realized something had to be done. What resulted was the book Superpotencyan all-inclusive guide to overcoming the medical and psychological factors that lead to penis weakness.

That book was supposed to be titled Penis Power. The year was 1993. I thought those two words would be a revolutionary title for a book on male sexual health. What I discovered, however, was that, according to my editors, it was a little too revolutionary. The book was not published under that title because the publisher (Warner Books) felt that no legitimate, mainstream book on male genital health by a credible author could have the controversial word penis in the title. With a nod to political correctness, the publisher and I settled for the less explosive title Superpotency. This was prior to Howard Stern, the Lorena Bobbitt affair, the Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee videos, the plays Vagina Monologues and Puppetry of the Penis, satellite radio, the Internet, and Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra commercials in every sports facility in the country. Now, how can I shy away from a title that includes the word penis when every five minutes we are warned: If your erection lasts longer than four hours, call your doctor!?

Oh, how things have changed.

Or have they?

After much deliberation, the book Superpotency finally hit bookshelves in the United States and around the world. Ultimately, it would come to be printed in more than twelve languages. Thousands of copies were sold to men and women, straight couples, gay couples, and everyone in between. The overwhelming response from the public was that the vital information contained in the book generated a sense of sexual enlightenment. Those individuals and couples who shared the knowledge of the book developed the skills and the confidence to address the problematic issues surrounding male genital health and sexual potency. The important information about male sexual health I set out to share had become the cornerstone for a new phase of the sexual revolution.

Fast-forward to 2011.

Penis weakness is still rampant throughout the world. With the advent of major pharmaceutical drugs designed to aid erectile dysfunction and their international advertising campaigns, some of the significant issues in male genital health have suddenly become part of the general social consciousness. It is still astonishing that, in my medical practice, insecurity and uncertainty about sexual performance are the top problems for my patients. Most of them are totally uninformed about the nature of their penises and their bodies in general. They are also frighteningly misinformed about the medical resources available today.

As a physician and a husband, I am saddened to see how many men and their partners deprive themselves of the complete sexual satisfaction and enjoyment they deserve. Fortunately, over the past decade, monumental advances in the treatment of erectile dysfunction, prostate cancer, and other urologic conditions have been made. There is a new openness in attitude toward the penis in general. Indeed, the penis is almost out of the closet. With the dawn of this new cultural and technological era, I saw the need to recreate the original concept of the book: to replace ignorance and mythology with factual information and to replace self-doubt with confidence.
