Sex, love and relationships are the most powerful forces in every man's life. They have the potential to make us feel invincible or to break us. There is no doubt that figuring out the mystery of being successful with women and having a good love and sex life is interconnected with our sense of fulfillment and happiness. The challenge men face in our modern lifestyle is a disconnection from our natural masculinity and spirituality. Instead of learning that it is within our power to think and act in a way that leads to a happy, joyous and free life, we learn that we are not good enough and need to consume more. We need to emancipate ourselves from false concepts of masculinity, love and sex that we learn through society, television and advertising and learn to take this most important aspect of our lives - the ability to live and love happily - in our own hands.
