About the Author
What People are Saying About This
“Finally! A book by a man, for men, about how to be a healthy sexual man! Dr. FitzMedrud offers an accessible, grounded guide to navigating the modern world of sexuality with consent, safety, and honesty. You can learn to do better, without having to hate men for being men.” —David Ley, Ph.D., author of Ethical Porn for Dicks "A refreshing vision for men to reimagine their role in relationships, their communities, and the world. Dr. Eric FitzMedrud makes the case that by becoming more aware of our inner self and of society’s presumptions about how we are supposed to act, we can begin to heal from the various traumas we have carried into adulthood and unconsciously inflicted upon others. He encourages men to deeply rethink their approach to their sexuality, and to understand the fundamentals of consent in order to become a greater force for kindness, loving, and nurturing." ―Joe Kort, Ph.D., LMSW, CST-S, author of Erotic Orientation “This profound, potentially life-changing book takes a deep dive into what it means to be a man in today’s world. With a compassionate tone, Dr. Eric FitzMedrud describes why so many men are struggling with their sexuality, and why partners struggle along with them. He then offers a path forward to sexual and mental health that is informed by contemporary feminist ideals of gender equality and inclusivity. I’d recommend The Better Man to any male client who wants to build stronger self-esteem and deeper relationships.” ―Stephanie Buehler, Psy.D., CST-S, author of What Every Mental Health Professional Needs to Know about Sex “Eric Fitzmedrud believes men want to be asked important questions. And so, he does. The result is a non-stop feast for men hungry to reconnect with their humanity. This warehouse of practical tools, exercises, activities, sample scripts, and essential words prepares men to take real steps toward knowing who they are and who they are not. Take your time, reflect, take responsibility, be honest, take risks, and most importantly, give yourself consent to be a better man.” —Doug Braun-Harvey, LMFT, CST-S, coauthor of Treating Out-of-Control Sexual Behavior “This book really restores my faith in men.” —Venus O’Hara, sexual wellness content creator and host of The Orgasmic Lifestyle Podcast
