Sex is the most basic instinct of all because without it there would be no humans or animals. Thankfully,
there is an instinctual drive to have sex and reproduce. This book is about understanding what
can go wrong with sex and how to fix it.
The material presented in this book is straight forward, scientific and factual. It should be read by
anyone who is about to become, or already is, sexually active. This is not a book for children, because
children between the ages of six months and puberty have no sexual hormones in their bodies. Those of
us who have had children, especially boys, might now and again want to disagree with that announcement,
however it is true.
The book that you are about to read has been organized so you can read it page to page, or essentially
read the "slide" presentation. If a section catches your interest, the content underneath it will give
you a more comprehensive and layman's clarification about the substance in the slide. Throughout
the book, there are "Factoids," which are astonishing facts that we had never heard before and we
thought might be of interest to you. Moreover, there are various "Notable Quotes" which originate
from different specialists, famous people and the "notables," but unknowns.
In this second edition, we are very fortunate to have Dr. Gina Midyett, a Ph.D Sex Psychologist,
who specializes in sex therapy. She will be inserting her thoughts about the different topics covered in
this book. She adds a new dimension to this medical book of sex and I thank her for her great insights.
You may notice that a certain word or phrase may appear more than once, or in multiple slides, but
each time there will be a slight difference in its application and understanding. The slides introduced
were originally made by me for a physician tutorial exercise, and after one of my associates read it,
they said this could be an incredible book for laymen if the slides were given interpretation.
On occasion, I have inserted my opinion, which may be just the logical conclusion of the point I was
making, or it might be something that following 30 years of experience I hold to be valid. Whenever
my personal opinion is inserted I will inform the reader that it is my personal sentiment.
Clearly, I think you should read it completely through to get a thorough understanding of the
subject matter. If you do read the entire book you will have a deep understanding of medical sexology.
Since this subject matter is so comprehensive, I am certain I will have missed a few segments of sexuality,
yet this covers most of them. Like anything medical it is a perpetual work with new discoveries
every day and I encourage you to continue to read and learn about this subject matter.
Responding to suggestions from the first edition of the book, we have included a new section. We
call it "Executive Summary." This section will summarize in a few sentences the core take away from
the chapter.
