Body·Mind·Desire·Relationship
Most of the time the problem is not where men look for it. It is behind the curtain.
A urologist's complete guide to erections, ejaculation, desire and the couple: written in the language of the consulting room, checked against current medical guidelines, and honest about what the evidence can and cannot tell us.
Doctor, if I can't even have that, what's left to live for?
I have heard this sentence in my consulting room more times than I can count: from a twenty-year-old college student and from a retired grandfather, from a university professor and from a construction worker. Whatever world he comes from, a man with an erection or ejaculation problem describes the same helplessness in almost the same words.
For more than twenty years I have sat across from these men as a urologist. The most important thing I have learned is this: most of the time the problem is not inside the penis, it is behind the curtain. A human being's real sexual organ is the brain. This book was written to draw that curtain back.
From the Preface
From anatomy and hormones to the couple in the bedroom. Each chapter ends with key takeaways, and clinical note boxes give physicians and therapists the detail they need.
Anatomy, hormones, the mind and the sexual response cycle.
Diagnosis, organic and psychogenic causes, and every treatment option.
Premature and delayed ejaculation, the partner, and step-by-step treatment.
Low desire, myths, pornography, penis size, compulsivity and sexual diversity.
The pelvic floor, unusual conditions and the partner's role.
Plus two appendices: validated scales (IIEF-5, Erection Hardness Score, PEDT) and a glossary of terms.
Every chapter works in layers: the main text for every reader, colored boxes for what you should not miss, and original figures and tables that make the physiology visible.

Actual pages from the eBook. Once it is live on Google Play Books, you can read a free sample before you buy.
The main text is for anyone who wants to understand male sexuality: the man living with a problem, the partner beside him, the reader who simply wants reliable information.
Clinical note boxes give physicians, psychologists and sex therapists diagnostic criteria, scales, treatment decisions and the pitfalls to watch for.
Almost everyone with a sexual problem believes everybody else is having flawless sex. The truth is the exact opposite, and none of it makes you worth any less.
There is no perfect treatment in sexual medicine. But for every man and every couple there is a best and most direct way out.
Sexuality is not a detail at the margins of life. It is an energy at the center of our physical and mental health.
Urologist
Dr. Özdemir is a urologist practicing in Antalya, Türkiye. He graduated from Ege University School of Medicine, completed his specialty training in urology at Ege University in 2005 and holds the board certification of the Turkish Urological Association (2006). For more than twenty years his clinical work has centered on men's sexual and reproductive health.
He is the co-author of two earlier Turkish books on male sexuality and premature ejaculation, and has taught sexual medicine to physicians and therapists. This book brings that work together, rewritten from the ground up and checked against current guidelines.

For men who want to understand their own sexuality or a problem they are living with, for their partners, and for physicians, psychologists and sex therapists. The main text is written for general readers; clinical note boxes carry the professional detail, and general readers can skip them without losing the thread.
No. It is written to inform, not to make a personal diagnosis. Starting, stopping or changing a medication are decisions to make together with your physician. The doses and protocols in the clinical note boxes are for health professionals.

It is an adaptation of the Turkish original. The medical content is the same, while examples and expressions have been adapted for English-speaking readers.
The book speaks openly and clinically about sexual function, behavior and problems, as a sexual medicine text must. It contains no erotic material or explicit imagery and is intended for adult readers.
