The Intimate Man: Genuine Intimacy for the 21st Century Male

Written by John Howard Prin, LADC

Born to Bond

Why is a book on intimacy necessary for men in the 21st Century?

Having led hundreds of therapy and 12-Step groups, John has observed the sad reality that many of today's men live with only half of life's feelings and "soft" emotions available to them. These are everyday guys who want happier lives, and to feel comfort, bonding, and appreciation for the efforts they make at wholeness. John realizes that men don’t easily use the word intimacy, but he believes that they do want the feelings intimacy affords.

John is conducting a survey of male participants to gain insight into thoughts on male intimacy. We invite you to participate and share your experiences. Women are also welcome to participate, but we ask that you respond based on your knowledge of the man (or men) you have in mind as all questions are male oriented. Thank you for your time and participation.

Overcoming Hidden Habits and Addictions

"Recovery means escaping from the labyrinth of one's own lies. John Prin's book on keeping secrets lays bare the essential connection between image management and a 'secret life.' A useful, well-written book by someone who has been there."

Stolen Hours

Breaking Free From Secret Addictions

by John Howard Prin, LADC

Secret Keepers are everyday folks who may be well functioning on one level, but in bondage to deeply held secrets on another. The author himself is a prime example, and Stolen Hours is his story.

"Stolen Hours makes a valuable contribution to understanding self-defeating behaviors. Mr. Prin's stirring story, as well as his insights for readers, will help many who hide unhealthy secrets and struggle against compulsive urges or addictions."

- Robert. E. Hardy, EdD
author of Self-Defeating Behaviors
