A comprehensive, and up-to-the-minute book on Erectile Dysfuntion, from one of the world's leading experts on this debilitating, demoralizing disorder.

In "Back to Great Sex," Dr. Ridwan Shabsigh offers a thorough discussion of both the physical and psychological causes of E.D., including vascular, neurological, hormonal, behavioral, and stress-related issues.
