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.

Sophia Loren was once asked what was the most memorable meeting of her life. “Meeting Cary Grant. We met on a plane. What I remembered first about him was his cologne, a dry, lemony scent and how beautifully close-shaven he was, and also how polite he was. Too many men use rudeness as a strategy for seduction.”
Ms. Loren was totally right. Smelling very nice and looking nice are important, but the most powerful asset a man can have for seduction is . . . well, being seductive. And being polite, cordial, warm, and inviting are very much components of that asset. Too often, though, men have no idea how to be seductive or even what seduction is. So here I’ll tell you.
Seduction is an invitation to intimacy. It is saying, “I want us to go down that path that will lead to something very nice—at least I’m hoping it will—and I want to show you where the path is, break all the ice standing in the way, and get you to want to go there just as much as I do.”
Although intimacy is often seen as pretty informal, usually involving as few clothes as possible (or none at all), seduction as an art form (and it truly is one) is a fairly formal undertaking. In other words, just as an artist has to lay out the colors on his 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
Some people might argue that thinking of seduction as an art form, that is “artfully” with some real calculating going on, destroys the spontaneity within meeting someone. The idea that you had it “all thought out in advance” seems like an insult . . .
