This book is as necessary as an annual health check. It covers what every man needs to know about how your reproduction system works and its effects.

Due to the book being written by doctor's I found reading through the medical jargon being overwhelming at times.

Other than that the book is great!

Very educational and easy to understand. The book explains well many of the taboo questions of men’s sexual health. The topics concern men after 40's. Excellent book!

Interesting approach to men’s sexual health. Easy to understand. Would recommend to anyone interested in learning how the male form works.

Right from the title you can tell this book will attempt to educate on a serious subject in a more lighthearted manner than most. Referring to the immune system as the cancer police is only the first and most obvious example.
For the most part this book imparts its medical info similarly to others, albeit with a subject rarely discussed. Once in a while it’ll put in a clever or funny line, like “such is the case with our dear Peter.” Pretty sure that name wasn’t chosen at random. But I’m going to change my description from above: rather than lighthearted, switch it to casual, not as medical or scientific as most attempts at dumbing such topics down for the masses. There’s some dad-type jokes early on, but nothing too bad, and it tapers off quickly. Most of the (attempted) humor is in the subheadings, such as “Battling Low Testosterone— When the Grapes Turn to Raisins,” and “Horny Goat Weed (Epimedium)—This supplement gets the prize for the best name.”
For the most part the author avoids long-winded sections, but that’s not the case with “testing for prostate cancer,” which left me lightheaded. I have to be missing something, but it seems like if you don’t care about having kids, the prostate is useless. In fact, considering it’s a leading cause of cancer. . . what are the downsides to having it removed? Can it be removed? May have missed that, but it’s definitely a burning—no pun—question now.
I can’t be the only guy who’s wincing while reading the different treatments for an enlarged prostate. As expected, the longest piece—again no pun—is on ED. And as cringeworthy as some parts have been, nothing is as bad as reading about penile fracture. Some of this is just so uncomfortable, not because it’s embarrassing, but more in the way certain people can’t stand the sight of blood, or more likely how men wince when they see someone kicked in the crotch. In this case, reading about possible illnesses and injuries in a place that would be more painful than anywhere else just makes me cower in the fetal position for a few minutes. He saves the worst for last, including photos of the effects of sexually transmitted diseases. As you can imagine, this was the slowest chapter to read, with lots of pauses.
But if you’re really interested in this subject and don’t want to read something that feels like a medical journal, this is the way to go.
3.5 pushed up to 4/5

As a woman, I don't have the parts referenced in this book, but I think that it would be useful to men. Just as people read the trouble-shooting instruction guides for electronics, motors, and everything else, it pays to know how things work and what can go wrong....

Super informative and helpful book about all aspects of the male anatomy and experience.
