"Ultimately, the forces outside of us have little significance other than being a distraction. If men look to an illusionary outside world 
for answers, we will continue to get illusionary answers. There are challenges we need to face, alone in the dark, to learn to channel our strengths."  ~ Mike Dugan
      Mike Dugan reveals all the challenges he faced in the past and how he thought his way into an intimate and fulfilling relationship 
by taking an honest look at male sexuality. He takes on the lone wolf, the dragon and the problems of antisocial behavior.
     "Men Fake Foreplay" is an honest look at male sexuality. This book will not only lead men to deeply fulfilling and profound 
spiritual moments, women will find the insights and understanding to be intellectually satisfying and emotionally fulfilling. It is rare 
for a wildly funny book to also steal my heart.
      Mike Dugan succeeds where many fear to even begin. There is insight into why women don't want you to change who you are, 
but instead want you to become more aware of who you are. He asks: "Where are the gentlemen?"
     Though a variety of intellectually intriguing examples, Mike Dugan shows the need for male role models in our society. I loved 
the story of the elephants and his comments about defeating inner dragons. This book is not just an analysis of the male/female 
connection; it is more an analysis of how men connect with their deepest self. Mike Dugan reveals how a boy becomes a man and 
explores the choices a man makes once he takes on the responsibility of caring for the women in his life.
      There is a deep, penetrating intimacy throughout this work. While this book is also wildly funny, I laughed my way right into an understanding of some profound male wisdom. One of the best lines in this book: "A man's power should be wielded compassionately." 
Like a true comedian, he entertains you with a few jokes and then once he has your attention and respect, there is a place to discuss communication, feelings and sexual ethics.
      It took me a few minutes to get through the last two pages. I couldn't see the words. This is what I wanted from all the men in my life. 
I want to feel safe and nurtured. I want there to be safe places in my life where I'm loved as a soul.     ~TheRebeccaReview.com
