From the “No Means No” movement to the “Yes Mean Yes” 2014 California law and #MeToo, the landscape of consent is evolving. And with the rise of the dangerous incel movement and misogynist influencers like Andrew Tate, education and healthy guidance is desperately needed for men of all ages—which is why we’re so proud to be publishing The Better Man: A Guide to Consent, Stronger Relationships, and Hotter Sex by relationship therapist Eric FitzMedrud this September.

The Better Man empowers men to embrace their sexuality, manage their emotions, and understand entitlement—and it explains how toxic masculinity harms men and ruins sex for them and their partners. Moreover, this skills-based guide, rooted in evidence-based techniques, shows men how to practice consent, not just on first dates but in all relationship situations and with all types of people, from romantic partners to acquaintances and coworkers.

Using everyday examples, The Better Man provides accurate, sex-positive information—along with confidence-boosting exercises and shame-busting drills—to help men learn how to ask for the passionate sex they want and listen well enough to deliver the pleasure a partner desires.
