	Price: 19.99

Book Description

It's not that men don't talk, says Dr. Alon Gratch, it's just that they speak a different language. Drawing on the stories of his male patients and on his own experiences as a man-as a son, husband, father, therapist, and friend-Dr. Gratch brilliantly illuminates the reasons why men think and act the way they do.

He breaks down male psychology into seven factors-Shame (boys don't cry), Emotional Absence (I don't know what I feel), Masculine Insecurity (I'm tired of being on top), Self-Involvement (see me, hear me, touch me, feel me), Aggression (I'll show you who's boss), Self-Destructiveness (I'm such a loser), Sexual Acting-Out (I want sex now)-and provides practical tools anyone can use to listen, to interpret, and to understand the inner world of men. Decoding the way some men talk about sex

• I have some sexual anxieties. Translation: I can't get it up.
• It's hard for me to get close to a woman. Translation: I can't get it up.
• I had a horrible dream which I can't even talk about. Translation: I have sexual fantasies about men.
• I love women. Translation: I'm a sex addict.
• I may have a thing about getting old. Translation: I'm only attracted to sixteen-year-olds.
• I don't know how to put sex and love together. Translation: I love rough sex.
• I'm beginning to think I drink too much. Translation: I can't get it up.
