The Truth: Sex, Love, Commitment, and the Puzzle of the Male Mind

The Truth: Sex, Love, Commitment, and the Puzzle of the Male Mind

<p>This is not a journey that was undertaken for journalistic purposes. It is a painfully honest account of a life crisis that was forced on me by my own behavior and its consequences.</p><p>"As such, it requires sharing a lot of things I'm not proud of-and a few things I feel like I should regret a whole lot more than I actually do. Because, unfortunately, I am not the hero in this tale. I am the villain."</p><p>So begins Neil Strauss's long-awaited follow-up to <em>The Game</em>, the funny and slyly instructive work of immersive journalism that jump-started the international "seduction community" and made Strauss a household name-revered or notorious-among single men and women alike.</p><p>In <em>The Truth</em>, Strauss takes on his greatest challenge yet: Relationships. And in this wild and highly entertaining ride, he explores the questions that men and women are asking themselves every day:</p><ul> <li> Is it natural to be faithful to one person for life?</li> <li> Do alternatives to monogamy lead to better relationships and greater happiness?</li> <li> What draws us to the partners we choose?</li> <li> Can we keep passion and romance from fading over time?</li></ul><p>His quest for answers takes him from Viagra-laden free-love orgies to sex addiction clinics, from cutting-edge science labs to modern-day harems, and, most terrifying of all, to his own mother.</p><p>What he discovered changed everything he knew about love, sex, relationships, and, ultimately, himself.</p><p>Searingly honest and compulsively readable, <em>The Truth</em> just may have the same effect on you.</p><p>If <em>The Game</em> taught you how to meet members of the opposite sex, <em>The Truth</em> will teach you how to keep them.</p>
