It's not that men don't talk, says Dr. Alon Gratch, it's just that they speak a different language. Drawing on the stories of his male patients and on his own experiences as a man-as a son, husband, father, therapist, and friend—Dr. Gratch brilliantly illuminates the reasons why men think and act the way they do.

He breaks down male psychology into seven factors—Shame (boys don't cry), Emotional Absence (I don't know what I feel), Masculine Insecurity (I'm tired of being on top), Self-Involvement (see me, hear me, touch me, feel me), Aggression (I'll show you who's boss), Self-Destructiveness (I'm such a loser), Sexual Acting-Out (I want sex now)—and provides practical tools anyone can use to listen, to interpret, and to understand the inner world of men.

Decoding the way some men talk about sex
  • I have some sexual anxieties. Translation: I can't get it up.
  • It's hard for me to get close to a woman. Translation: I can't get it up.
  • I had a horrible dream which I can't even talk about. Translation: I have sexual fantasies about men.
  • I love women. Translation: I'm a sex addict.
  • I may have a thing about getting old. Translation: I'm only attracted to sixteen-year-olds.
  • I don't know how to put sex and love together. Translation: I love rough sex.
  • I'm beginning to think I drink too much. Translation: I can't get it up.
