Read Excerpt

What makes a man fall in love? Why do men really cheat? What does he want in the bedroom? What's the one thing that men crave in a relationship more than anything else (besides that)? The surprising and insightful answers to life's biggest relationship questions can be found here -- in the pages of Men, Love & Sex. Using an exclusive Harris Interactive poll that surveyed more than 5,000 men and women, Men's Health editor-in-chief David Zinczenko has written the book that explains and decodes the male creature -- how they act, what they think, and what they want in their relationships. The New York Times best-selling author of The Abs Diet, Zinczenko uses both statistics and men's personal stories to explain everything from why he clams up during a fight to the moment he knows he's found The One. This funny and insightful guide will help women understand the men in their lives through every step of courtship -- first dates, fights, breakups, makeups, marriage, and everything else along the way -- so that women can break through and see what's happening inside the often-bewildering male mind. How? With such features as:

Say This, Not That: Perfect communication strategies for women to get what they want and to get men to open up!

Masculinity Mastered: The surprising truths about men's feelings and how you can figure out exactly where he stands!

The Ultimate Male Decoder: What it means when a man doesn't sleep over, when he gets insanely jealous, when he grunts during conversation, when he buys an appliance for a birthday gift, and insights about dozens of other male mysteries!

Wondering Woman: Answers to women's most pressing questions about men. Why can't he say he's sorry? Why can't he fight like an adult? Why can't he aim inside the toilet?

In Men, Love & Sex, thousands of men reveal their thoughts and feelings about women, about sex, and about what works and what doesn't in relationships. Their answers, stories, and revelations will not only surprise you and amuse you, but they'll also help you understand men a whole lot better -- and make your relationships a whole lot stronger along the way. 

This is the book that will completely change the way you think about men.

In this funny and fascinating guide for women, thousands of men confess what turns them on, what turns them off, and what turns "for now" into "forever."

With shocking and never-before-seen statistics and powerful confessions, Men's Health editor-in-chief David Zinczenko presents a funny and fascinating guide for women into the inner workings of the male mind.
