    Good Manslations News, PLUS You Can Win a Signed Copy of Manslations! FREE!

    Well, well, well. Lookee here. What we got ra’tcheere is yet another nation on this Earth preparing itself for the almighty power of Manslation. Drumroll, please?

    RUSSIA

    Er…what?

    Yes, that’s right. Manslations will soon be published in the land of…oh, I don’t know…Borscht? Beets of all shapes and sizes? Friggin’ freezing cold? Who knows what they’ve got over there right now, but pretty soon, they’re gonna have ME.

    And so, in an oddly unrelated celebration, I’m going to be giving away SIGNED COPIES of this very book! Manslations: Decoding the Secret Language of Men.

    It’s a fiiiiine looking piece of tree-meat, ain’t it? And it might could be yours, free! Awwww yeah. Free stuff, y’all.

    Ok, I’m going to stop talking like a furniture salesman from Abilene now. I promise.

    CONTEST RULES

    All you have to do to qualify to win a free copy of Manslations (with either the American cover OR the racier, sexier Australian cover — your choice!) is to leave a comment on this post with your answer to one of the following questions. Either:

    • Give me your title for Manslations in Russia. I’m thinking it’s going to be something like, “Man Who Will Be Speaking Like Woman,” or something.
    • Answer this manslations request I received from a reader name Mares : not necessarily a manslation…i just want some good one liners using “daddy” during sex….my man doesn’t like it, but i know someone else’s that does….. :) Since I’m in the same boat as Mares’s man, and want nothing to do with the word “Daddy” whilst in the sack, I’ll leave it up to you ladies.

    Feel free to give a fake name if you’re bashful — just remember to use your real email address so I can make sure to send the book to the real YOU. (Don’t worry, the email address won’t be visible to anyone but me.)

    I will send one signed copy of Manslations to my favorite entries for each question. Enter as often as you like. I claim no partiality. I’m basically going to see which ones either a.) are really helpful or more likely b.) get Liz and I to crack up. I have NO doubt that you lunatics will come up with some great stuff. I’ll announce the winners next week!

    Tell your friends. Tell your enemies. Tell women who NEED this book, stat, before all those Russian ladies get their hands on it and we end up with a new Cold War-style Manslations gap.

    Do your worst, Manslatees. Do your worst.

    Why not buy my BOOK? Huh?

    “I Man! You Woman. Read This….Now!”

    I’m sure the women will run for that book. lol

    The daddy comments during sex? Somehow, I think if someone needs to ask one liners to use during sex, then maybe the woman is not as comfortable using the “daddy” stuff. ” (personally the last thing i ever want to think about while I am having fun is my folks, because then that would lead to thinking about THEM having fun…which still kinda creeps me out even at this age)

    Hi Jeff, I already have your book and would give to my friend if you send me another one:)
    I am from Russia and think that the title “Translating this nonsense men call communication” will work.

    “What it’s all about?

    The adequate Russian translation is available on request :)

    Title for the book… “How not to be man-fused” (Man + confused)…translation not available though, not fluent in Russian.
    One “Daddy” liners… I’m usually game for anything that turns them on, makes the last longer therefore making me last longer, so I see it as a win-win situation. I’ll do it if he wants it. I’m fluent in Spanish so I may play around with “papi” or “daddy” or D-A-D-D-Y {sorta like a cheerleader, better if you are in character with the outfit and all, you know just giving ideas ;) } So, when do I get my book?

    I had some fun using an online translator to translate from English to Russian and then backtranslate. Here was one good result

    “The conversation of the man for the woman as men uses words to receive sex”

    What Tasteless said was very dirty. To me, the classic “daddy” line is “Oh Daddy, I’ve been such a bad little girl, I think you’ll have to spank me”

    Calling a lover “Daddy” while making love is just way too weird and icky for me. But there is an old ’60′s song one could put on the CD player that might fit “the mood”:

    TIME OF THE SEASON
    The Zombies

    It’s the time of the season
    When the love runs high
    In this time give it to me easy
    And let me try with pleasured hands
    To take you in the sun to promised lands
    To show you everyone
    It’s the time of the season for loving…

    What’s your name? Who’s your daddy?
    Is he rich like me?
    Has he taken any time
    To show you what you need to live
    Tell it to me slowly. Tell you why
    I really want to know
    It’s the time of the season for loving…
    *Solo* (verse & chorus)

    What’s your name? Who’s your daddy?
    Is he rich like me?
    Has he taken any time
    To show you what you need to live
    Tell it to me slowly. Tell you why
    I really want to know
    It’s the time of the season for loving…

    I thought of another “Daddy”/lover song from the 1980′s that’s also quite sensuous: “Father Figure” by George Michaels. You can listen to these on YOU TUBE. Can’t think of any one liners. If some guy wanted me to call him “Daddy” during sex I’d think he had a psychological problem and beat it to the door. To each their own though I suppose. Anyway, this song has a lovely melody and might fit the mood better than any “forced” lines.

    Father Figure – George Michaels

    That’s all I wanted
    Something special, something sacred -
    In your eyes
    For just one moment
    To be bold and naked
    At your side

    Sometimes I think that you’ll never
    Understand me
    Maybe this time is forever..
    Say it can be

    That’s all you wanted
    Something special, someone sacred -
    In your life
    Just for one moment
    To be warm and naked
    At my side

    Sometimes I think that you’ll never
    Understand me
    But something tells me together
    We’d be happy

    (Baby)
    I will be your father figure
    (Oh baby)
    Put your tiny hand in mine
    (I’d love to)
    I will be your preacher teacher
    (Be your daddy)
    Anything you have in mind
    (It would make me)
    I will be your father figure
    (Very happy)
    I have had enough of crime
    (Please let me)
    I will be the one who loves you -
    Until the end of time

    That’s all i wanted
    But sometimes love can be mistaken
    For a crime
    That’sail i wanted
    Just to see my baby’s
    Blue eyed shine
    This time i think that my lover
    Understands me
    If we have faith in each other
    Then we can be
    Strong

    I will be your father figure
    Put your tiny hand in mine
    I will be your preacher teacher
    Anything you have in mind
    I will be your father figure
    I have had enough of crime
    I will be the one who loves you
    Until the end of time

    If you are the desert
    I’ll be the sea
    If you ever hunger -
    Hunger for me
    Whatever you ask for
    That’s what i’ll be. .

    So when you remember the ones who have lied
    Who said that they cared
    But then laughed as you cried
    Beautiful darling
    Don’t think of me

    Because all i ever wanted
    It’s in your eyes baby, baby
    And love can’t lie. No…
    (greet me with the eyes of a child)
    (heaven is a kiss and a smile)
    Just hold on, hold on
    I won’t let you go, my baby

    I will be your father figure
    Put your tiny hand in mine
    I will be your preacher teacher
    Anything you have in mind
    Will be your father figure
    Have had enough of crime
    So I am gonna love you
    Until the end of time
    Will be your father
    Will be your preacher
    ‘Ii be your daddy
    Will be the one who loves you until the end of time

    Daddy’s girl is bad.
    Want me to tell Daddy?
    Does Daddy know his girl is this naughty?
    Where’s Daddy now baby?
    Each is independent and to be spoken repetitively with a growing (fake it if necessary) intensity. It all implies some sort of mucho standoff fantasy(?) for Daddy’s daughters affections I suppose. If you’re in the sack, Daddy lost, your man wins, and because she’s defying Daddy she’s naughty and every boy likes a naughty girl. Hmmm, warning bells are starting to ring.
    All a bit wrong really. Now onto Russia…
