What really drives men to do what they do? Why Men Fake It uses the real-life stories of Dr. Abraham Morgentaler's patients to let us in on the secrets of men and to examine the current state of male sexuality in science and medicine as well as in relationships and popular culture. In this frank and open discussion of the subject, Dr. Morgentaler will make men and women alike question what we think we know about gender, motivation, sexuality, relationships, and, ultimately, the definition of a "man." From the biology and science behind the "bionic penis" to the psychology behind men faking orgasms, Why Men Fake It will change the conversation about male sexual health and will introduce the world to sex and relationships from a new point of view. Dr. Morgentaler's exploration of male sexuality from the Masters and Johnson era through the introduction of Viagra, feminism, and the Internet provides the basis for his provocative and revolutionary ideas regarding men and sex-a topic that, until now, has been either sensationalized or stereotyped by the media-to give us the definitive guide to men as we've never seen them before. From these stories you will gain a surprising perspective on the minds and motivations of men: committed, caring, loving, and sometimes clumsy individuals doing their best to be great partners in their relationships.

Abraham Morgentaler, MD, is a medical maverick, pioneer, and one of the leading world authorities on men's health. Dr. Morgentaler is an Associate Clinical Professor of Urology at Harvard Medical School, and is Director and Founder of Men's Health Boston (www.menshealthboston.com), the first center in the US focused on the special medical needs of men. Dr. Morgentaler's research and clinical work have been acclaimed by the academic, mainstream medical world as well as the non-traditional fields of integrative, functional, anti-aging, and wellness medicine. Yet Dr. Morgentaler's passion has been to write for the reading public on the hot topics of the day that relate to men, sex, and relationships, based on his unique and remarkable clinical experiences.

Dr. Morgentaler's academic work has appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, The Lancet, and Cancer. Best-selling author Suzanne Somers has suggested Dr. Morgentaler receive the Nobel Prize for his work reversing the decades-old erroneous belief that testosterone caused prostate cancer. And noted futurist Ray Kurzweil has written, "No one knows more about men, sex, and relationships than Dr. Morgentaler."

Dr. Morgentaler's latest book is WHY MEN FAKE IT: THE TOTALLY UNEXPECTED TRUTH ABOUT MEN AND SEX. His previous books are TESTOSTERONE FOR LIFE, THE VIAGRA MYTH, and THE MALE BODY.

5.0 out of 5 stars I found that much of what I had previously been told, WAS WRONG!
Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2013

I found the book was well written in that it easily held my attention. I found it enlightening. Unfortunately sex education is taught in the majority of schools as biology. This leaves a lot of room for conjecture and mis-information. This book deals with actual people and points out the problems with the way our perceptions are distorted by how we think we are supposed to act or how things are supposed to work. This book does a lot to clear the air. Many of the problems in relationships consists of separating opinion from scientifically proven fact. Dr Mogentaler uses his many years of research to help his patience deal with there problems. Good communication is essential in intimate relationships. I believe there is a lesson in there for all of us.

4.0 out of 5 stars Necessary reading but unnecessary in reality
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2014

I read this book with great interest because I'm researching the growing power of American women and what this means to American men. Morgentaler is a pioneer in the pushing of testosterone out to the masses and makes his living helping guys get bogus boners. The toxic affects - both psychological and physical of all this faking and chemistry - to good men and women is scary. Many guys are getting the wrong message about themselves because of this book. My forthcoming book - Bogus Beauty and The New Power of American Women - digs much deeper into why this toxic stuff needs to seen for what it is - and that women and TV are a major problem. Women and the way they need to be constantly satisfied is dangerous. The unrelenting TV commercials are doing great harm to the minds of American men. Why Men Fake It - should be read but acting on the advice within it - isn't smart and rather shallow.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dr. Morgentaler's research is unmatched.

This author gives an interesting insight to male psychology and physiology. I like that Dr. Morgentaler takes the time to get to know his patients and is able to help each person with any variety of issues. His research on testosterone and male libido is great as it follows multiple ages and racial backgrounds. He also makes it clear that no one person is exactly the same. Its a good read if you need something to pass the time.

3.0 out of 5 stars Definitely not a book that revolutionizes men's sexual health
Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2013

I only made it 3 chapters in before I couldn't continue (which maybe makes this review null and void). It started off well but then quickly became a bunch of, in my opinion, whiny stories about men. I had high expectations and was pretty let down. Maybe one day I'll try to finish it.

This is the third book I have bought by urologists, seeking some answers and understanding about things happening to my 68 year old body...and it is the best! Really up-to-date information on things like testosterone therapy and the various treatments for ED. Dr. Morgentaler writes really well and has stories to tell that are all very helpful for any guy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Work about the Male Sexual Nexis
Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2013
Verified Purchase
Dr Morgentaler is an engaging writer who employs an anecdotal technique to underscore his views on male sexual dysfunctions of several sorts. He makes the point that most of them are physiological, not psychological, and he explains the various approaches to solve the problems. In the course of the book, Dr Morgentaler explains in detail the various mechanisms of male sexuality and where and why they can fail. He tries to dispel wrong views (in his opinion) that most doctors harbor about treatments, especially in the realm of testosterone therapy that falsely connects the use of testosterone therapy with prostate cancer. All in all, an interesting book to read apart from the somewhat irritating self-promotional style that infuses almost every page of the work.

4.0 out of 5 stars Everything you wanted to know
Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2013

To this non-medical person, this book seems to be a fairly exhaustive review of almost everything that can go wrong with male plumbing, and some of the inside details of how a surgeon goes about patching things up or finding a pharmaceutical fix. Anyone researching a specific problem will not necessarily want or need to learn about all of the other possible problems, but you get them anyway. Written for the layman with a very sympathetic and human view of male sexuality.
