Like the rest of you, I was curious about this book and it's claims but seriously doubted the reviews it has recieved. The glowing reviews all said the same things and had the same catchphrases...That means it's too good to be true. But it came bundled with another book on amazon (
ultimate guide to cunnilingus: by violet blue...Which is extreemly informative
and fun to read) so I decided to see what it's about.
I got it, sat down to read, and was laughing myself silly after the first few pages. This author's knowledge of gramar and english in general is appalling. The book is a mess of disorganized information, tangental topics, factual information, personal opinion and sales pitches for his other books. Indeed, looking back at the online reviews, it was clear most of them had language that matched that of the book...Dubious.
But I usually try to keep an open mind, so i've been reading through the book with the attitude that this author really had something factual he wanted to share with us. His advice about maintaining a healthy body first and foremost is commen sense and authentic it seems, but I do not trust his information blindly. I've been doing my own 'backup' research on the author's own topics, and encourage you to do the same.
As far as his "vip muscle" is concerned, I have not yet found it in my own body, if it indeed exists. I tend to think that if there was a muscle contraction that would induce the complex feelings of orgasm, it would have been discovered
long before now and it would be a common knowledge 'secret' passed from father to son through the ages. My own searching turned this up.

it says the vastus intermedius profundus (vip) muscle is attached to the femur and is involved only in the extension of the legs. This same muscle has been researched in rabbits and chickens. Not much help with the human male penis.
but, considering the author's tragic language skills and the fact that he trademarked the term "vip-muscle" I think he was trying to coin a catch-phrase that relates to a different part of the erectile process. Instead, I beleive he's referencing vasoactive intestinal polypeptides. It seems vip is a vaso-relaxant (relaxes and expands blood vessels, allowing more blood flow, in this case within the penis) that acts with acetylcholine, nitric oxide, and l-arginine in the mechanics of male erections, all of which ritz talks about in his 'research.' here's a trustworth y online description.

so, for all of us that went straight to the anatomy books to search for the vip-muscle, it doesn't exist...At least not by that name. I am supposing ritz is attempting to re-label a muscle or nerve cluster that is related to the proceeses of engorgement in erections. He may very well be talking about the prostate, though that wouldn't fit with where he tells us to search.
So, while we've been confused by the authors oportunism, there does seem to be a bit of validity to his research in that he's truthfully describing (though not very well) the real processes in the male erection. This is promising, and I hope that with a little more personal research, much more of this confusing jumble of a book can be cleared up. Hope this helped some of you out there searching! If I find more information, i'll be sure to post it here. :wink:
