This book is about a radical transformation of yourself. While very young, Perry Brass realized that “Men are not supposed to be seductive.” This of course gave him an open field in a kind of behavior that can be exciting, fulfilling, and satisfying. If you feel you are always waiting for things to happen—and for someone else to make the first move, if you are traumatized by your fear of rejection and don’t have a clue how to open a conversation or expand the terms a relationship, The Manly Art of Seduction is a must-have for you. In it, Brass explains male territorialism, and how that often keeps men locked inside themselves; he talks about making decisions yourself, and how these decisions can be used to make seduction possible, and even easy. He also deals with the monster of rejection, and how to use mindful exercises to rejection-proof your own psyche. At the end of most chapters are exercises that you can use to tailor this book to your own needs, and see your own progress as you make your way through its pages.

Although seduction is very much a part of our commercial environment, Perry Brass has brought it to a place where we can find spiritual and inner nourishment, where the chronic aloneness of much of life can be changed into a state of inner satisfaction and far deeper sexual and emotional connections.

“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.”

Reviews

Some Reviews of The Manly Art of Seduction by Perry Brass Jan-Feb, 2010 BookMarks, Syndicated column by Richard Labonte [The Manly Art of Seduction: How to Meet, Talk to, and Become Intimate with Anyone, by Perry Brass. Belhue Press, 220 pages, $16.95 paper.] Manly. Seduction. Terms sadly at odds with each other in our mature years, says Brass, a situation he rectifies with wide-ranging inclusiveness in his second self-help title, after How to Survive Your Own Gay Life: An Adult Guide to Love, Sex and Relationships. Think of this as that book’s prequel. 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. January, 2010 ForeWord Reviews Online: The Manly Art of Seduction, How to Meet, Talk To, and Become Intimate with Anyone by Perry Brass Despite the more salacious connotations of the word, seduction can be an art form, believes author Perry Brass. Just as an artist lays out the colors on a palette before he can begin painting, "...a good seducer knows that only by arranging the right setting and being in the right frame of mind, can the seduction take place without stalemating into a cold, awkward, and unnerving situation," he writes. Although some artists are born with innate talent, others must develop their raw skills and confidence with careful practice and guidance. Similarly, fledgling seducers will find Brass' mentorship invaluable,
