Part fertility guide, part owner's manual to the male reproductive system, The Male Biological Clock attempts to ditch some of the numerous existing myths about men's roles in pregnancy while introducing up-to-date medical research on hormones and health. In modern culture, the words "male" and "biological clock" aren't typically seen together, but Dr. Harry Fisch has news: after the age of 35, men have increased rates of infertility, can contribute to the likelihood of a miscarriage, and are more likely to father a child with Down syndrome. Blunt and informative, the book starts off with a basic introduction to male anatomy, and goes into greater detail on the subject of testosterone. A number of simple graphs and charts are included, as well as detailed weighing of pros and cons of a number of currently available medical treatments for a wide variety of issues. Erectile dysfunction gets a short chapter to itself, which is mainly a discussion of how to get the most out of prescription drugs--a later section on sexual health provides less dramatic suggestions, such as proper diet, moderate exercise, and avoiding anabolic steroid treatments. The rest of the guide focuses on correcting male infertility, as well as addressing (if briefly) the emotional side of sexual and fertility problems. In every chapter, a few patient stories highlight individual topics; these do a fine job of personalizing health problems and limiting the amount of straight medical jargon. Fisch's gently positive spin somewhat masks the serious point he's making: men need to take care of their bodies, sooner rather than later. While this book focuses more on solving existing problems than on preventing the problem in the first place, its balance of general information and specific suggestions makes it an excellent reference for men of all ages. --Jill Lightner

Summary: Basic Info for Young Wanna Be Fathers
Comment: A good basic starter on male sexual potency. This book is really written for the the wanna be fathers or maothers who may be having problem having a baby and want to know the man's role in that problem. However, it is basic information that most people who have been keeping up with new information on male sexual performance or andropause have read in books like "The Testosteron Syndrome," "Super T," or Maximize Your Vitality and Potency - For Men Over 40." If you are looking for information on male sexuality in an aging man - this book is not for you.

Summary: Good
Comment: A book that I've read and seems like one of the best on the market it really helped me out on resolving one of the issues i had with my sexual problems. A book that is a light read and entertaining and should not be missing out of your book collection, much like "The Advanced Man! The quick and easy way to turn your small, or average sized penis into a large super human love tool without wasting your money on B.S. ... Book on CD-Rom for PC & Mac Computers" by Platinum Millennium, another great book that i recommend

Summary: The message: Take care of your sperm, guys
Comment: This should be required reading for every man or parent of a male child. Because, among other topics, it conveys an important message you'll hear almost nowhere else: Everything you ingest affects the health of your sperm. If you want to do all you can to ensure that you have healthy children, you need to take care of your sperm from Day 1.
That means eating well, not smoking, and not taking illegal drugs. Yes, even in high school, in college, and in your 20s.
If you think you can "shape up" after the kids have arrived, you are too late. You have risked harming their DNA, and your grandchildren's DNA.
Pretty astounding, eh?

Summary: An excellent book on both male fertility and sexual performance.
Comment: This is a book that men (and women) of all ages would benefit from reading. Dr. Fisch is not only informative but he is gifted in his writing style. He takes medicine and make it understandable for anyone. Often books written by doctors are too academic and thick with medical terms for the average reader; this book is not. It is short, to the point and engaging.
The `Male Biological Clock' center on fertility and sexual performance. The chapters on the `Truth about Testosterone' and `Viagra' (Levitra & Cialis also) are worth the price of the book. Infertility is not just a woman's problem and Dr. Fisch lays out most all of the options available for men.
Dr. Fisch ends the book by covering diet and exercise and communication with your significant other. This is a great, short, extraordinarily important book for those struggling with their male sexuality. Highly recommended.

Summary: Interesting topic
Comment: Just a warning not to be deceived about this content of this book. It is not so much about the psychology in feeling that a man's fertile time could be running out, but in discussing that male fertility can also be affected by the aging process.
The book covers the topics of male infertility and sexual performance as well as issues, causes, treatments and psychology of these issues.
All in all, a pretty comprehensive analysis of the male reproductive system.
