Product Description
Have you ever felt that finding a man, falling in love, and living happily ever after is totally out of your control? Is it possible to find a man who will be a friend and equal, but who will also do whatever you want him to do? And what can you do to make the man you already have give you everything you want? Never fear, Mama Gena is here with practical tools for a relationship that starts out good and only gets better. In Mama Gena's Owner's and Operator's Guide to Men, relationship expert Regena Thomashauer (a.k.a. Mama Gena) will teach you how to effectively "train" your man and create a rewarding and intimate relationship for you both. Mama's secret to success is simple -- and possibly scandalous -- but here it is: Men live to serve women. They live to make their women happy, because when the woman isn't happy, nobody's happy. The fact is that relationships function best when the woman's desires are completely fulfilled. In this book Mama Gena shows women how to throw out the old "survival model" of relationships (in which women serve men to get food and shelter) and take on her Sister Goddess model (in which men serve women to get friendship, sex, and happiness) instead. Creating a relationship that's all about the woman requires a basic understanding of a man's perspective. Mama reveals some shocking truths -- such as men are not mind readers, men like to be acknowledged, and men want to believe they're getting their way. These are fundamentals that women often forget, or don't know how to incorporate into their everyday lives. The Owner's and Operator's Guide will show women not only how to train their men, but how to train themselves as well. Mama explains how and why women have to pay attention to their pleasure and know what makes them happy: Why you have to give up control in order to get it. How you have to communicate what you want. Why you have to be honest. Mama offers inventive strategies for finding a man, getting him to help you make the life you want, having a great sex life, and dealing with resistance along the way. Full of the author's trademark candor and easy wit, this book is an invaluable manual for women in any stage of a relationship. You'll learn how to gain control of your own behavior, take the lead in your relationship, and work with your partner toward getting what you both want -- a great partnership.

GREAT advice, very blunt, a FAST and easy read!! January 27, 2008 I'm sorry the other reviewer didn't like this book. That's too bad, maybe it isn't for everyone and yes, Gena is VERY blunt and loves the word 'pussy'. If you can get over that aspect, this is a funny, quick read and is chock full of great advice. Gena advocates fun over anger, sex over brooding and a 'fake it till you make it' attitude with regards to success. All stuff that is hard to hear, but GREAT advice all the same. She advocates that women drop an attitude of holding on to anger, choose fun and if you don't believe you are TOTALLY fab, you can use 'tricks' to promote yourself until you DO 'feel' it and make the great attitude your own! Sounds trite, but we all know it works! Think about the last job interview you were on...! Right? Yep, it feels 'weird' to try, but it works with men, bosses, the whole world... I've tried this stuff with my own life, and you will get further if you choose dressing up, taking on a good attitude and having good sex over a fight. It's an odd concept to women, but men live this way. Think about that. Why is it only 'odd' to women? Take on the attitude, take on the world!

I love Mama Gena. She helps us who are WAAAAAAY too serious in achieving etc etc and are way too serious in life to just lighten up!!! She helps us get in touch with a part of ourselves that we may not even have known about!! Don't take it all so seriously, ladies!! Life is for living! She has helped me TREMENDOUSLY to just lighten up and enjoy being a woman- something I had never even considered and certainly didn't know how to to (as an "acheiver" all of my life!) Love this woman for reminding us of who we are as WOMEN.

Operate like a Parasite November 29, 2006 12 out of 28 found this review helpful
Do you want to learn how to be a parasite? Mama Gena can show you how. She not only show's you how, she also trains you how to fool yourself into thinking parasitic behavior is an intelligent approach to life. If manipulating others and 'living for your crotch' is your goal, this teaches you how. If you are uncertain how to feel about yourself when you behave this way, this book is for you. If she trains you that acting in this way is not the way a parasite behaves, then she controls your mind, just like she teaches in this book.
I feel bad for the people who follow this advice. How will they be viewed when their beauty is gone, and they need to rely on their friendships? How will others treat them after they've lied and manipulated others for their whole life? Women who follow this advice will end up being the creepy aunt who goes to weddings alone, left alone to have fun by herself, a pathetic site to those around her.
I agree with the last reviewer. November 19, 2006 7 out of 8 found this review helpful
We should learn that the word "pussy" does not denote something bad and dirty. Our bodies are beautiful and wonderful and do amazing things and we should love every part of them. Furthermore, how someone could despise the word "goddess" is beyond me. There are several forms of goddess religion in the United States. There is a form of goddess neopaganism that is incredibly rewarding for women who have been hurt and scarred by any of the various man-god religions. These feminine spiritualities often incorporate a reverence for the female body that includes, among other things, respect for the "pussy".
