The 91% Factor:Why Women initiate 91% of Divorce [Library Binding]

Edward Baiamonte (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 15, 1997

In the age of family values a truly amazing dynamic exists in heterosexual relationships that has heretofore been ignored or unknown. In fact, most marriages(and relationships) end, and they do so at the womans initiation 91% of the time. In a very dynamic social and economic environment women have stood still for 30 years having been taught the feminist excuse that men are male chauvinists or worse. Such book titles as "Men Arent Cost Effective," and "All Men Are Jerks" are now considered politically correct and acceptable by major publishers. In the course of this knee-jerk political criticism of men, women have failed to understand and examine their critical and central sexual role in relationships. "The 91% Factor:" builds on the sexual lives of 30 couples with severe relationship problems. It examines the most intimate details of their lives to explain how a reorientation of the way the women thought about their critical sexual role could have saved each re! lationship. The current divorce orientation of women,the author concludes, does not work for adults or their children since it merely leads to another marriage which statistically will be much shorter than the first and for exactly the same reason.

1.0 out of 5 stars Blame Women, November 29, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The 91% Factor:Why Women initiate 91% of Divorce (Library Binding)

I went through the reviews and thought that this book must be daring...and it is. The one thing that I agree with is that you shouldn't have sex unless you are being treated right, not just right before, but after and in between and in daily life...if not you'll fall into loveless sex and left feeling cold and used and eventually you'll leave him. I buy that completely. The rest of the book (the parts I could get through) basically say that whatever it is..anything at all wrong with the relationship, including being treated like dirt..is the womans fault. It is our fault because we hold the power but are too stupid to see it... and on top of that, men are too stupid to see it or anything else for that matter but are blameless because they are men. (no advice to men about being decent human beings who are worth a womans time...because no matter what they are faultless...this book is about blaming rather than healing, loving, relating and growing together in life and love) If you didn't already know to hold out for someone that treats you good...know it now and don't waste your time with this book. If you want to read that you are a moron and men are even bigger morons (and it's your fault anyway you look at it) then DO read this book. If your lifes ambition is to kill your personality and life in order to "get" someone to father a bunch of kids, then this book is definately for you. I for one don't believe that men are this stupid...though the author certainly is. It assumes that your calling is to have children, which isn't for everyone. It also assumes that we don't have many orgasms and prefer to be on the bottom (and this is suppose to be a good thing)...this part stunned me, I've had very few non-orgasmic love making or romps.

The movie version of this book is The Stepford Wives...watch it, cringe and thank God you are who you are.

I love men, but if I were to believe this garbage I would opt for a vibrator and give up on men completely...maybe try to find myself a girlfriend.

The BEST relationship book I have ever read is Extraordinary Sex Now (it's about the relationship that leads to great sex, not about technique..it is about people, our personality traits and how to get along and be close). I have read Extraordinary Sex Now several times with great reward. I got 91% today, read most of it and will put it in the trash first thing in the morning.

1.0 out of 5 stars One of the WORST relationship theories ever., November 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The 91% Factor:Why Women initiate 91% of Divorce (Library Binding)

Here's a one-sentence summary of this book's advice: A woman needs to withhold sex from her husband so he'll behave well. Such emotional *blackmail* cannot possibly be the foundation for a good relationship. I've been quite happily married for almost six years now--thanks to *communication* my husband and I can get exactly what we want, both inside the bedroom and out. Don't waste your money on this puritan dreck.

1.0 out of 5 stars A man's perspective., April 19, 2000

By A Customer

Another Guru who's Out to Lunch:

1) don't give your man too much sex; this is the opposite of what the pursuit oriented male was bred for by the forces of evolution and it is certain to kill his sexual interest in you; if not his entire interest in you and the outside world. (Try this at your own peril! A hungry person will look for food elsewhere)

2) if you insist on a lot of sex, learn to be more orgasmic so you too will have a resting phase that perhaps will coincide a little more with his. (I don't get this one, but O.K.)

3) learn how to masturbate or to have sex with him in different ways that do not always involve an orgasm for him. This will keep his interest high, but not satiated, the way it generally is from puberty to marriage, and the way it was during the long period when humans evolved without the benefit of constant marital sex.(Just what I want, Frustrating Sex! Perhaps the author would have us chew our food and not swallow so we won't get complacent about eating. I'd rather be put on a schedule. See 1. above.)

4) remember that too much free sex is actually opposite to the expensive biological sex that men must purchase or earn with various kinds of good or impressive behavior. (The author has conveniently forgotten that the "forces of evolution" did not require a man to be monogamous. Monogamy is a social phenomenon, not a genetic one. Prehistoric man had no restrictions on the NUMBER of women he could have sex with!)

A big draw for married partners IS the guarantee of regular sex. What person in their right mind would promise to forsake all others and then be put on a leash like this?

This advice is abusive and will drive a wedge into the relationship.
