Outline
- Introduction: the author recounts his journey from a sexless dry spell to developing a reusable method
- Required reading mindset: asks readers to discard the "common sense" about relationships absorbed from movies and friends
- The core of "sexual mechanics": a model of male-female interaction oriented directly toward sex (the original subtitle is literally "The Mechanics of Men and Women")
- State and projection: driving interaction through one's own sexual intent and relaxed state (according to public materials on the method)
Core idea
Gunwitch argues men should be direct and clear about their sexual goals, advancing relationships through inner state rather than elaborate routines; the translator's preface also notes the book contains a fair amount of self-promotion and that some of its views (such as its attitude toward lying) are controversial.
Review
One of the representative works of the early "direct" school of PUA — crude in language and highly instrumentalizing toward women, its results-focused orientation is highly controversial by today's standards and has value mainly as historical material for the subculture.
