From the Publisher

Getting your game together, "the love game" that is, has become the touted message of former European pro basketball star, Gerry Wright. In 2-sizzling volumes, Wright gives raw tutorials on winning a woman’s love and affection.

Wright, who currently holds the majestic post of personal trainer to one of the Royal families of Saudi Arabia, has now focussed his personal training skills on matters of the heart. In chapters and subchapters that playfully connote sporting terms - The New Play Book, Playing The Field, Give Up The Ball, She Got Game - the world-traveled jock guides you up and down life’s courts, with play-by-play lessons on what it takes to be fit for love. Truly a revealing, fresh read, penned in a locker-room voice that the fellas are more apt to listen to, Wright gives straight-no-chaser rules on everything from hygiene and wooing to social etiquette and sex. Get ready to Play For keeps!

From the Author

This book is mainly for the guys who go to the gym and toss the barbells around like Superman, but act like books are made of cryptonite. Especially relationship books! But pay attention fellas, you don't want to drop the ball on this one, or you'll be sorry you did!

The primary issue of this book is to help guys get their game together. Most guys are clueless about how to properly court a woman for something that will last longer than one night. Within this book you'll find the building blocks for a long term relationship and how to make love work. You may think it sounds boring, but don't worry; I keep it real! You'll like this book.

Although most people are afraid to admit it, passion, intimacy and sexual situations (PISS) make up a large part of every relationship. When the PISS dries up, you can bet even money that the relationship stinks!

Women already know it, so fellas you might as well admit it; sex is where a lot of brothers drop the ball. Many guys think they're puttin' in work, but they're woman is just tip toeing around the issue to protect a fragile male ego. She may not have the heart to tell him how weak his loving making is, but she'll have enough heart to find another brother!

The days of being a great provider/lousy lover have grown tiresome. This is but another reflection of what the male attitude in relationships has been for thousands of years; "I got my-gasm, you get your-gasm." Well today, the modern day woman is sending mankind a wake-up call. Women are saying that's it time, "Papa Got A Brand New Bag!"

In the new millenium a man's game must be complete; emotionally, spiritually and sexually!

Straight Talk Volumes 1&2 is not for just a man or a woman. It is a brilliantly articulated account of the couple who wants to advance to the most fulfilling relationship imaginable. It should be must reading for young adults who begin to search for lasting love and for any one who has felt like they have failed at love. It is also not for the faint of heart man who is too scared to travel to the depths of his soul to find out that pleasing his woman leads to pleasing himself! It is in language that anyone will understand and goes straight to the core of truth seldom acknowledged by men. It is captivating and sets Cupid free with some new arrows!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fellas This Is A Must Read, April 4, 2001

By 

Jack (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Straight Talk Volumes I & II (Paperback)

"Straight Talk" is one of the best relationship books I've read in quite a while. Gerry's writing style is both contemporary and to the point, which makes the 2 volume set an enjoyable read. I'll have to admit, initially I was very skeptical based on the plethora of "relationship" books currently on the market. But after reading a few chapters I was locked in. My relationship with my wife has already begun to benefit as a result of the insight I received. Straight Talk is a must read, especially for those guys that want to move the sexual aspect of their relationship into the "turbo lane".

5.0 out of 5 stars What Women Want, March 4, 2001

Cindy (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Straight Talk Volumes I & II (Paperback)

Volume one of his 2-volume book is real eye-opener and could leave a lot guys who pride themselves on being a "man's man," re-thinking their position. Volume two however, is the book that every woman should slip under her man's pillow! Wright claims that "passion and intimacy are the real measuring stick of the health of a relationship." He says that "when this form of communication breaks down, the relationship is in serious trouble."

Volume two of his book is dedicated to keeping the passion alive and offers explicitly clear instructions. Volume 2 is rightfully subtitled, "A Man's Guide To Lovin' His Woman Down. Sexy, sensuous, explicit, detailed and at times, down right dirty (but in a good way).

As one female reader wrote in the Reader Comments section of his...), "He probably can't actually hear what women think like Mel Gibson could in the movie, What Women Want. But he's definitely tuned in!" In a perfect world, this book would be required reading for all men before they're allowed to date.
