    About this ebook

    Finally! A Man Speaks to Men. Never have books promised to pry men away from their six-packs and remote controls to take a two-part course on the sport of seduction. As an author who has given new meaning to the word 'touch down' , he shows you how to 'touch her'. No subject is off-limits --- or out of bounds. So ladies, get ready to play ball!!

    Straight Talk: Volume One
    Playing For Keeps
    ***How To Love A Woman And Make Her Love You Back***

    Round One - The Try-Outs

    In this first of two sizzling volumes, Wright gives raw tutorials on winning a woman's affections. In locker room voice former pro basketball player Gerry Wright answers all the questions that aspiring Casanovas are dying (but too proud) to ask. From what to wear, to how to smell, to how to equip the bachelor pad, Volume I gets a man to first base ---without striking out.

    Loaded with clever, hard-nosed information, Straight Talk elevates men from sitting on life's bleachers as all of the quality babes walk by to becoming an All-Star at love.

    Unlike books like Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus, this two-book series deals with the real world, and gives the low down of what women really want --- in "guy talk"!

    Crammed with nuggets of practical information spiked with sporting terms, Playing For Keeps is savvy, sexy, and funny.

    Straight Talk: Volume Two
    Papa's Got A Brand New Bag
    ***A Man's Guide To Lovin' His Woman Down***

    Round Two - The Knockout

    Volume I Straight Talk: Playing For Keeps got a fellow's foot in the door and into her head ---- Volume II Papa's Got A Brand New Bag pitches step-by-step details on how to perform in her bed.

    Gerry Wright, personal trainer and former pro basketball player gets straight to the point --- most men are lousy lovers. Perceptive, real and wise, in Volume II Wrigt teaches men the blow-by-blow moves that leave a woman crying "time-out!" In the same no-holds-barred locker room style of Volume I, Wright explicitly coaches mankind on the sensual techniques to win over the opposite sex.

    Based on the shared experiences on different continents as Wright played basketball, he delivers the low down on the sexual "left hooks" and "curve balls" - that American women are dying for men to throw. More than a primer on body parts (and yes) oral sex the book also instructs men to listen to their partners.

    Perceptive, clever, and graphic --- Wright's instincts brand him as America's personal trainer at love. Wright's hand size (a full 11 1/4 inches spread) afforded him the ability to earn Sports Illustrated notoriety as a slam-dunk king. In two erotically raw volumes he gives tips that will have women in the palm of your hand (regardless of how many inches you're wielding). Wright's coaching a new team of men --- and, frankly fellows, she won't be trading you to another team after you read Wright's Straight Talk.

    Letter to Gerry Wright:

    Dear Mr. Wright,

    I went to a little book store called "Consider The Alternatives" on Thursday, April 19, looking for a book about relationships. I told Judy, the owner, that I have read many books to try to understand my man. And I couldn't seem to find one about women for men to read that wasn't just about sex. She called me at my home the very next day and left me a message that two books came in about the subject we were discussing and would I mind coming and taking them to read and review.

    I went to the store the very next day and read the cover letter, then the contents of the books. I immediately took them home to read. I am 2/3 through Volume 1 and I can't put it down. You must promote this book every where.

    Your book is heroic to all of us who have been criticized for saying the things you had the balls to say and say it straight. These two books must be marketed ASAP. Ge

    Gerry Wright

    Born on December 27th, 1963 and weighing only a mere few pounds, no one could foresee the giant strides Gerry's life would one day take. After achieving All American honors in H.S. basketball and simultaneously All State honors in music, Gerry accepted an athletic scholarship to the University of Southern California. He eventually left his beloved Los Angeles and transferred to the University of Iowa. Distinguishing himself as an outstanding student and athlete, Gerry was twice selected to the Big Ten All Conference Team and was a preseason All American as a senior. Gerry graduated with a BA degree in Communications in 1987. Although he was drafted by the Detroit Pistons of the NBA, Gerry chose to serve in the military before pursuing a professional basketball career. He fulfilled his military obligation by serving as an instructor of fitness and self-defense at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, and later as a Naval Aviator, stationed out of Pensacola, Florida. Gerry was honorably discharged and attained the rank of Lieutenant. After the military Gerry played two seasons in the NBA's minor league, the CBA, winning the slam-dunk title at the league's all-star game. After testing the waters in the European league for one year Gerry returned home to California and joined the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. He served the county for two years before transferring to the Santa Monica Police Department, where he served two and a half more years. While working full time for the SMPD Gerry continued to instruct fitness, martial arts, and women's self-defense at Santa Monica College. After nearly five years in law enforcement Gerry returned to the U of I as the athletic recruiting coordinator, and fitness/martial arts instructor in the Physical Education Department. However, after six years on the sidelines, basketball came calling once more. Gerry returned to Europe and played four more years. He was selected three times as a European All Star. After basketball he worked as an exercise specialist with a list of clients that included Royalty and dignitaries of state. On a more personal note, Gerry is a well-traveled, well-read, cosmopolitan man who speaks Spanish fluently. He has lived in six different countries and has visited more places than most can count. Though quite successful in life, he has remained a quiet, soft-spoken gentleman who enjoys spending his free time with his "Spanish Fly" (his wife Eva), reading, writing, studying, cooking, listening to jazz, pumping iron and enjoying life. His motto? Carpe Diem Visit Gerry's website at StraightTalking.net.

      Straight Talk - Gerry Wright

      ABOUT THE AUTHOR

      Meet the real life Walter Mitty! Naval aviator, undercover cop, professional basketball player, black-belt kick boxer, university instructor, entrepreneur, coach, and personal trainer. You name it, and Gerry has either been there, done that, or doing it tomorrow. If he joined the circus and became the star of the flying trapeze it wouldn’t surprise me at all.

      I’ve known Gerry for 21 years and observed first hand his incredible life’s journey from Starlifter Court in San Bernardino, to honored guest of the Royal Court in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

      Gerry is a quiet, soft spoken man with impeccable insight, intelligence, charm and charisma. As director of a group home for wayward boys, I’ve been fortunate over the last ten years to have Gerry come and speak to these young men and serve as a role model. His style is like his nickname, Old School. He’s brutally honest and raw. You can always expect him to tell it like it is, just as he’ll expect you to take it like a man!

      INTRODUCTION

      A moment’s insight is sometimes worth a life’s experience.

      -Oliver Wendell Solmes, Sr.

      For those of you who don’t know me, I’ll start by telling you that I’m not a doctor, psychiatrist, or sex therapist. I’m just a regular down to earth guy who writes books for other guys with their feet on the ground. No psycho-babble, no Mars Venus bullshit, just the truth Partner. Straight talkin’ tell it like it is books that teach men what they need to know about women, love, sex and relationships.

      As you read this book I want you to keep in mind that you’re not simply trying to acquire new information. You’re attempting to form new habits that will dramatically change your life. Be willing to let it happen. This is your life, not a dress rehearsal. There are no second acts, no refunds, no exchanges. This is it! The habits you acquire in your life, will either be your greatest servant, or your worse master. Therefore, be conscious of forming habits which will serve the greatest good.

      By learning to Play For Keeps, you’ll form the habits that will show you;

      1)   How to make yourself more attractive to women.

      2)   How to love and appreciate the man that you are.

      3)   How to find the right woman to love and how to make her love you back.

      4)   How to build a rock solid relationship anchored in friendship, trust, love and respect.

      5)   How to identify the women and the relationships you must walk away from.

      6)   How you can affair-proof your relationship by understanding what makes a woman cheat.

      Playing For Keeps is not based on theories, conjecture, hypothesis, or any other psycho-nonsense. What is written here has been lived. I’m giving the truths and epiphanies of real life experiences, uncut and uncensored! The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

      All the information has been gathered, organized and dissected. Now I’m spittin’ the game to you in a very informative, extremely beneficial, at times hilarious and at times painful way. But, I’ll always keep the big picture in plain sight. In Playing For Keeps, I’m speaking the language you understand, honest, raw and real. You know, Straight Talk!

      From my interviews with several hundred men, I came to a surprising and very alarming discovery. A lot of brothers approach love and relationships with the wrong attitude! Some cats look at relationships in terms of what must they do, to get what they want. However, let me flip the script right here and break it down for ya! True love is not about getting, but rather giving!

      True love doesn’t keep the score, or run a tab. When you truly love someone you’ll give from your heart unconditionally without expecting in return. The ironic part is that, when you begin to give your love unconditionally, you get what you need in return without having to ask.

      To receive the love you want, you must first give your love. Have faith that the love you send out into the world will come back to you. Give your love and ask for nothing,and you’ll receive much more than you need. That’s theway of the world. You probably think I’m smoked out, but if you doubt the principles of the universe, they’ll never work for you. Believe it and you’ll see it.

      The whole universe is inter-connected by love, harmony, cause and consequence. When you send your love unconditionally into the world, that love will come back to you. This keeps the harmony in the universal energy. This is only one of the consequences of your action. However, the love that comes back to you may not be from the person you expected it from, and it may not come in the way you wanted it, but the universe will give you the love you need.

      Therefore, you must learn to accept the love you are given without imposing restrictions upon it. Be thankful for the love that comes back to you and don’t try to manipulate the experience by only accepting love, if it comes in the form that you want it.

      Now is probably a good time to tell you that you can expect to have some growing pains. As the saying goes, no pain, no gain. However, take a moment and imagine yourself having the relationship and lovelife you’ve always wanted. Now imagine better than that! Yeah, things can actually be better than you can imagine. However, to experience this growth you may need to stretch yourself beyond the boundaries that outline your normal comfort zone.

      Growth can sometimes be a painful process, but the lines that mark the boundaries of your life are not etched in stone. These lines are moveable, but only you can move them. The desire for personal growth and change must come from you. Make up your mind now that you’ re ready to have the relationship and lovelife you’ve been waiting for. If this means you must overcome inhibitions, mental blocks and fears, prepare yourself mentally for the challenge, then be willing to do whatever it takes to succeed. Only after you’ve taken this first and most important step will this book be of any value to you.

      Without a doubt, if you follow the advice I lay out for you in this book, you’ll have to make some changes in your life. However, I can assure you that if you want to have a special woman in your life, then you’ve come to the right place. With the guidance of this book, you’ll find the woman that’s right for you, but that’s not where things end, that’s just where they begin. You see, finding the right woman is one thing, making a relationship work is another. Love alone, is not enough to make your relationship work.

      Unfortunately, when it comes to women, sex, relationships and love, life doesn’t provide us with a built in guidance chip that shows us the way to success. So we turn to our parents. But most of the time, our parents are so dramatized by their own dysfunctional relationships, they’re no help at all. How about sex ed. Class? Well, the only thing they really teach us in school is that well mannered boys and girls don’ t talk about, think about, or act out our sexual curiosity until they’re either adults, or out of school. So as it is, we’re sent out into the world looking for love, sex and romance. Yet, clueless about what any of that actually means.

      To top it off, we live in a society that clings to the romantic notions of love, sex and romance as it
