Smart
men, young or old, virgin or ladies’ man, want to know more about how women
feel about sex, fitness, fashion, intimacy, romance, relationships, love, and
much more. This book is written for men who care and want to win a woman's
heart for the right reasons -- to be a friend, colleague, mutual lover or
spouse. It's not a con game; you'll learn what's in for the woman of today.
Professionally
photographing thousands of women across four decades, Rolando Gomez learned
firsthand the societal pressures that women bear. He knows a man's anatomy and
biochemistry are simpler and more easily satisfied than a woman's, and he knows
what men need to know about the complexities of a woman.
After
observing, counseling, living with and raising women for almost forty years,
Gomez, a father of four daughters, shares the knowledge of a man who's
profession constantly exposes him to new female generations. In his world,
women never age but their mentality constantly evolves.
These
lifetime experiences are the heart of this book, enhanced with further
research, experience and editing from close friend David Pruett, PhD. Does it
work? Well, that's Gomez' longtime girlfriend, 23 years his younger, on the
left!

Taming the Trouser Snake
From the Author
With
the help of my editors, including David Pruett, PhD, we made sure that even
though this book is written for men, that women would enjoy reading it plus
affirm the contents by saying, "Wow, he nailed it, I need to give this to
my (son, father, husband, boyfriend, brother, boss, co-worker, etc.)." So
to ensure this, I had several women read drafts upon draft after the edits
along the two years it took me to write this book -- I've seen the tears and
those that held back, their watery eyes; I have felt their pain and seen their
hope. This book will educate a man for the better but will touch a woman's
heart and soul as their mind says, "finally!"
I've
written six books, coauthored another, but no book I've ever written took me
thousands of women and over 40 years to gather the information I needed to
write this book. As a pro photographer of women, I've met and photographed
thousands of women in my life, some nude, some clothed, over a three-plus
generation period, and those experiences are what created this book because in
order to write about life, you have to experience it first. Parts of this book
are also based on my own personal successes and failures with women too.
By virtue of my profession, I've experienced life with women, unlike the average man, from photographing Playboy Playmates to American Idol stars; tall, thin, short, heavy, blonde, brunette, small chested, large breasted, blue eyes to brown, I've experienced what seems like every woman in every form for decades, and the richest part of these experiences plus observations were listening to them talk about the men in their lives -- they taught me what they want and don't want in men, what their knight in shining armor should possess and I share this valuable information with you plus more in this book. I felt the "story" must be told.

So
whether this book is purchased for you, or a brother by another mother, let
this book make better men in the end so we may have happier women in this world
-- that is my true goal.

I just finished reading Bonk by Mary Roach. I must admit that I was a bit concerned how I would write a book review on it but your post is a great example! Thanks!
