Men who want to inspire more trust, lust, and devotion from their partner. But this is confusing territory. The modern world tells you that masculine energy is toxic. And that we’re all the same.

Many of your innocent, and even loving behaviors and words are pushing your man away and preventing him from being the man you need him to be. This book will put an end to that forever.
