I was hoping for an insightful and creative examination of male sexuality,
Instead what i read was feminist rhetoric demonizing man and their very basic urges.

The author bases many of his thoughts on theoreticians who see male sexuality as basically oppressive and harmful, as opposed to a standard of sexual health that is identified with female sexuality.

It is true that this book aims to focus on an abnormality of male sexuality, yet it projects basic motivations and expressions of the abnormal unto what may be considered as normal.

The author also sees these issues through a particulary Japanese paradigm, aspects of do not translate to a Western audience.

The book obviously lacks on an empirical ground for its claims, as it is mostly based on the author's individual thoughts and experiences.
