Book Reviews of The Way of the Superior Man
Book Review: NOT about stereotypes -- it's for people who seek passion
Summary: 5 Stars
David Deida is well known and admired and his work is deep and interesting. I just wanted to respond to some of the reviews here by people who view David's view of romance as being a shallow throwback to the 50's, with a jerk of a guy and a submissive woman. That ain't it. Those people apparently didn't read the introduction. "It doesn't matter if both partners are men or women. It doesn't matter if the man plays the feminine pole or ... if you change every day who plays the masculine pole... you need an energetic polarity... You don't need this difference for love, but you do need it for ongoing sexual passion. For some people who have a more balanced sexual essence, polarity doesn't matter... they would rather have a civilized friendship full of love and human sharing without the passionate ups and downs. For these people, this book will be irrelevant, possibly even offensive. This book is written specifically for people who have a more masculine sexual essence, and their lovers, who will have a more feminine sexual essence."
Other reviews will give you more insights, but I just wanted to specifically call out and give my viewpoint to counteract this criticism of this book.
