Synopsis

The title of the book answers the question, "Why do women fake orgasm?" But Mike Dugan asks us to consider that perhaps foreplay is much more than what a man does in the moments before intercourse. What begins as a simple attempt to "figure women out" quickly shifts into a humorous and insightful tour of a man's psyche as he considers the influences that shape his character. In a book jammed with the kind of wry comic twists that have earned him an Emmy Award and appearances on The Tonight Show, Dugan takes an unflinching look at men's experiences with trust, commitment, masculinity, role models, shock jocks, cheating, street-corner sex education, and, especially, relationships with women. He reveals devastatingly accurate secrets about the male thought process that some men might be happier kept quiet - all punctuated with spot on humour. Ultimately what Dugan discovers in this wise, witty, thought-provoking book is that, "I didn't have to figure out women in order to be happy. It was never about finding the right woman. It was about becoming the right man."

Revue de presse

“Now Mike Dugan has placed his philosophy between the covers of a book, Men Fake Foreplay... And Other Lies that are True. The book expands and develops his stage show in interesting and thought-provoking ways ... Men Fake Foreplay isn't a cynical, exploitative tome designed to make women feel neurotic and vulnerable. Rather, it celebrates 'la difference'and gives us all hope that maybe one day we';ll be able to behave a little better towards the opposite sex. I wish I'd read it when I was 16.” —Mayfair News, London
