Changing perceptions about male sexuality


In his groundbreaking new book, noted expert on teenage and adult masculine behavior Andrew Smiler debunks the myth that teenage boys and young men are barely able to control their sex drives, which may lead to destructive hyper-sexuality, unwanted pregnancy, and sexually transmitted diseases. Dr. Smiler  helps us recognize that the majority of boys and men do not fit this stereotype and that boys sexual development is multi-faceted.  He also shows how this shift in attitude could help create young men who are more mature, and have better relationships with partners and friends.


  • Explains how the Casanova Complex has developed over time and how it can hurt young males
  • Provides the latest research on male sexuality, including information from the author s own studies.
  • Offers guidance for parents and counselors of boys who want to help them develop lasting and meaningful relationships, as well as for the parents of girls who are dating.

This book dismantles the stereotype of boys as driven only by an obsession with having intercourse with multiple partners, and calls for deeper growth and understanding of modern masculinity.
