""Relationships between men can run the gamut from brief connections to long-lasting commitments. When connecting romantically with other men, we're socialized to be many things at once: friendly yet wary, aggressive but not overly so, and competitive while on the same team. No wonder making connections can be so difficult at times! This book demonstrates how to break through fear and old patterns to increase your seduction skills and decrease missed opportunities. No matter what kind of connection you might be looking for, the advice offered here is helpful, sharp, and pulls no punches. But the tough love is served with style and humor."" Dave Singleton author of The Mandates: 25 Real Rules for Successful Gay Dating ""Filled with useful, practical advice, this guide is likely to make gay men feel more in control of their chance encounters, and boost some self-esteem as well. Everyone can learn the art of seduction, as Brass notes, and he provides plenty of the necessary tools and art supplies."" January, 2010 ForeWord Reviews Online, review by Elizabeth Millard ""The emphasis isn't on sex, love or marriage as much as it is on how to achieve the kind of man-on-man intimacy that might lead to just one date, to a sexual connection, or simply to an enduring friendship. With 46 short chapters, Brass' how-to advice comes with ""work for you"" tips (practice touching your own body, perform a grooming assessment) and space for a worksheet-the reader's homework assignment, as it were. The book's first section covers such topics as shyness, kissing and dealing with rejection- standard stuff, expressed with clear-headed commonsense. Later chapters touch smartly on too-often-avoided subclasses of seduction-disability, weight, race, class, cock size, sexual dysfunction, ""straight"" men and threesomes-making this a first-class primer for every taste.""
