"Over the last thirteen years that I have been on the radio there have
only been a few books that have stood out; that can change your life.
Mike Dugan's Men Fake Foreplay is one of those books."
Sandra Yee, Ambassador, Fresh Start Women’s Foundation ...
"Men Fake Foreplay is one of the best male-female relationship books
I have ever read. This is the book to give to your brother, guy friend,
or male co-worker who doesn’t “get it” when it comes to treating women
with respect. This is also the book to give to your girlfriends who allow
men to treat them this way. The book’s hilarious laughs contain a serious
message about the way our consumer culture encourages irresponsible
sexual behavior in men and offensive behavior against women. It’s a
call for social consciousness in simple, funny language, all the more
amazing because it’s a man challenging men to grow up, take
responsibility, and protect the innocence of our children. This
book will have you laughing out loud while learning to demand
more intimate, fulfilling relationships in your life. It will
also restore your faith in the goodness of men.

Brian Douthit, Author of "Perfectly Said: When Words Become Art" ...
"Mike Dugan delivers his mature and personal message about becoming
the right kind of man with what is often knee-slapping, belly-rolling,
and even telephone-your-friends-and-pretend-you-made-it-up-yourself,
comedy. With this great little book, Dugan points mankind to the next
level of social evolution. Every man should own a copy of this book,
and then he should pass it along to his sons."
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY ...
"Based
on
Dugan’s
comedy
performance
of
the
same
name,
this quick
little
look
at
men’s
role
in
the
battle
of
the
sexes
actually
offers more
than
funny
vignettes
and
witty
one-liners.
After
admitting
his
emotional
shortcomings ("I
don’t have
a
lot
of
relationship
skills
because
all
of
my
training
is
in
casual
sex")
and
his
domestic
failures
("I’ve
done
my
laundry
in
shampoo"),
Dugan
takes
on
such
issues
as
communication
and
commitment
in
a
tone
that
is
both
friendly
and
frank
("I
believe that
owning
a
dick
entitles
me
to
nothing
but
a
responsibility
to
govern
it").
Going
along
his
observational
comedy
way,
he
takes
shots
at
what
he
sees
as
the
hypocrisies
of
Howard
Stern
and
relationship
guru
John
Gray
and
bemoans
the
fact
that
some
teenage
boys
get
their
sexual
education
from
pornography
because
"adult
males
have
abdicated
their
responsibility
to
represent
alternatives."
A
comic
on
stage
and
a
moralist
at
heart,
Dugan
wants
to
help
men
"to
somehow
reconcile
a
naturally
unwieldy
sex
drive
with
a
sense
of
responsibility
to
those
we
love."
The
result
is
an
enjoyable
effort
that
harks
back
to
the
Golden
Rule:
"the
measure
of
a
man
will
be
found
in
how
he
treats
others."
Rebecca Johnson, TheRebeccaReview.com ...
“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 … Like a true
comedian, he entertains you with jokes and then once he has
your attention and respect, there is a place to discuss
communication, feelings, and sexual ethics.”

“Men
Fake
Foreplay
is
a
comedic,
yet
intriguingly
feminist
analysis
of
men’s
idiosyncrasies,
quirks,
and,
well,
misogynistic
thought
patterns.
While
the
true
humor
of
this
book
can’t
be
related
on
the
website
of
a
family
newspaper,
I
recommend
everyone
go
out
and
read
this
book
for
some
palatable
feminist
theory
and
dirty
jokes
that
will
make
you
double
over
in
pain
from
laughter
…
Dugan,
an
Emmy
Award
winning
comedian,
discusses
everything
from
how
the
Catholic
church
equates
exploring
sexuality
to
guilt
(he
discusses
how
his
Sunday
school
teacher
called
masturbation
“self
abuse”),
to
why
men
love
lingerie,
to
why
it’s
important
to
fundamentally
respect
women.
Dugan
has
the
witty
humor
of
Ray
Romano,
with
the
dry
youthfulness
of
Dane
Cook,
but
the
book
made
me
laugh
harder
than
I
did
watching
Date
Movie.
I’ve
made
two
of
my
non-feminist
friends
read
it
thus
far,
and
both
agree
that
the
book
is
hilarious
and
important
…
It’s
a
solid,
yet
palatable
beginner
text
on
egalitarian
relationships
for
men
and
women
alike.
I
would
recommend
it
to
my
friends
and
family
who
might
not
totally
appreciate
reading
Ariel
Levy
or
Susan
Brownmiller,
but
want
some
solid
information
on
feminism.”

"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?"
Through 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.
