Publisher's summary

In his groundbreaking book, noted expert on teenage and adult masculine behavior Andrew Smiler debunks the myth that teenage boys and young men are barely able to control their sex drives, which may lead to destructive hyper-sexuality, unwanted pregnancy, and sexually transmitted diseases.

Dr. Smiler helps us to recognize that the majority of boys and men do not fit this stereotype and that boys' sexual development is multi-faceted. He also shows how this shift in attitude could help create young men who are more mature and have better relationships with partners and friends. He explains how the Casanova Complex has developed over time and how it can hurt young males, and he provides the latest research on male sexuality, including information from the author's own studies.

This book offers guidance for parents and counselors of boys who want to help them to develop lasting and meaningful relationships, as well as for the parents of girls who are dating. The book dismantles the stereotype of boys as driven only by an obsession with having intercourse with multiple partners, and calls for deeper growth and understanding of modern masculinity.
