I wrote this book to empower men about lust, romance, and love for women. Inside are eleven real life cautionary tales of mind-games and dangers (legal, financial, and emotional) that lay hidden ahead when men become involved with women. These eleven stories, from real and loving couples, can help men make quality decisions and experience freedom, happiness, and suc cess.

In 2006, a mens movement began in Japan. It has spread all across the world, and millions of men are learning a new way to navigate the modern relationship, dating, and marriage scenes. Mistakenly called a rage against women and misogynistic, these men are actually discovering freedom, fulfillment of dreams, sex, and love, as they dodge proverbial bullets and tunnel under razor wire.

In generations past, most people claimed marriage would bring them great happiness. But today this claim is seen as a huge hoax, a complete lie. Women fill half of the working jobs, and old roles of protector/provider have been blurred. Evolving economies and attitudes towards men have changed countless laws. All these changing initiatives place men inside a new paradigm. Its time to embrace new ideas about romance and family, to acknowledge that we have seen the end of traditional marriage as societys highest i deal.

At its core, this book is not so much about cheating or marriage as it is about FREEDOM: the freedom to be masculine, to live with honesty and integrity. Prepare yourself for an entertaining, and sometimes tension-filled, journey that can make life happy and succes sful.

T his book doesnt claim to represent a complete understanding of all people. Men and women can both be totally rational and mutually supportive. In real life, there exist many sides of a persons character. Some relationships are loving and nurturing. These stories represent a bias, by the authors own admis sion.

The official hook-up guide for men, that concludes these chapters, is full of referenced facts, making it an easy to use self-help g uide.

Many of these stories are reports of real couples in crisis counseling. The characters come from actual people who have been fictionalized in order to protect their true identities. Names, characters, businesses, organizations, places, events, and incidents have been changed in order to guard peoples private lives. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, events, or locales is entirely coincide ntal.

Chapter 1
Why I Cheat

R ussell Carson could be described as fun, but deep. He was a very small man, but his mind contained immense thoughts. Great thoughts. He understood that women liked tall, strong men. With his will, revved up like an engine inside a sickly body, he sought to understand sex: not the sex act, but what simmers beneath. Short and waifish, he spent years poring over books in libraries and conducting research on the Internet, weakening his eyes. The purpose of his study was to understand and, in turn, to explain to others the nature of masculinity and male lust. Sex was always on his mind. His goal was to unravel the mystery of sexual desire and the hidden forces within it. He hoped and prayed that he would be able to explain his sexual urges to his wife, using science and logic. If only he could summon the bravery to approach the topic. He knew that for this courage to shine, he and his dick would have to stay masked in public, like Batman, at least for now.

For three years, Russell plotted his weekly biorhythms and inner urges against the phases of the moon. Graphs and calendars hung over his desk at home. He charted his levels of lust and sex-activities, day by day. He amassed a huge amount of data, then began analyzing his findings. Every day, he dwelled upon this matter, even while working full-time at the US Census Bureau in San Antonio, where he used the tools at his disposal to process his data. Einstein said that if you cant explain something simply and clearly, it means you dont understand it well enough. Before Russell could present his findings to his wife, and then to the world, he wanted to be sure he understood the root of the pro blem.

As a qualified mechanical engineer, with a firm grasp on statistics, he foresaw his wifes reaction to his honest announce ment.

Russell who the hell do you think you are? Doctor Fuckinstein? Do you think youre Masters and Johnsons, or have you been masturbating your Joh nson.

Gee, Beth, its just a theory . He would sheepishly go back to his research . I just know I can pull it of; you couldnt pull yourself off!

Russells limbs tingled with the knowledge that the day would come when hed explain his theory. His heart pounded at the thought of lugging his truth out of the closet for the public. Perhaps a man who didnt love his wife would feel no qualms about lying to her, but dishonesty taxed Russell deeply. He knew lying was wrong, so he obsessed about his secrets and longed to release these dark and hidden ghosts into the daylight. One day he would seize the courage to confront this problem. Until then he would have to disguise his actual sex fantasy from Beth.

Albert Einstein sometimes appeared to Russell, asking, How on earth are you ever going to explain to her, in terms of chemistry and physics, the biological phenomenon that is lust? He waited for Einstein to return an answer. He also wanted to know why the brain-of-the-century was nicknamed der Depperte, and why he had such a bad hai rcut.

Russell struggled to come up with profound answers. True, Einstein had pondered love more than lust, but where was the line dividing the two? Had Einstein kept his discoveries to himself? Did his great mind withhold the t ruth?

Love is difficult to define, and Russells determination drove him to dig deeper. How does one avoid the confusion of love with that of infatuation or lust? For years, philosophers and poets had attempted to discover what love is. From the apostle Paul to the Beatles, everyone has had a theory. If all you need is love, why is it that sometimes all you want is lust?

Is love really all you need? Russell wondered. Is any verb used more often and less specifically? Is the love one feels for sushi the same, qualitatively speaking, as the love one feels for Mother Nature? He thought if love and lust were always the same side of the same coin, it would make a terrible mess of the s ushi.

Which part of mans body is involved during lovemakingthe heart or the dick? When we refer to the prowess of the Latin Lover, do we praise his ability to serenade the object of his affection and recite poetry to her? Or do we admire the passion and stamina he brings to a sweaty fuck fest?
