“FEMINISM WILL MAKE A MAN OUT OF YOU!”
One man’s search for healing, sexual freedom & personal liberation.
Redefining masculinity in sex, dating & relationships.
I’m writing a book!
The Back-Cover Blurb:
Part manifesto, part memoir, and part self-help guide to sex, love and relationships in today’s world.
This is the story of one man’s journey to personal liberation – breaking free of a life lived for others – to find his purpose and to claim his life for himself, finding love, joy and bliss in the process. It’s the story of a shy, socially awkward introvert who reconciled himself with his gender and the traumatic experiences of his childhood to become a “professional lover” working with sexuality and pleasure to support others on their own paths of healing from sexual and relational trauma.
Written with endless compassion for the struggles men face in finding connection, whether in dating or long-term commitments, FEMINISM WILL MAKE A MAN OUT OF YOU! challenges men to recognise just how much they have been hurt by Patriarchy. This is in no way to excuse the subsequent harm caused to women across the globe, but as a call for all of us to reclaim our full, whole and authentic selves, redefining what masculinity means in the process.
status update:
As of Spring 2025, the book is in its third full edit, with a formal Book Proposal complete and submissions being made to publishers and Literary Agents. Should a traditional publishing opportunity not materialise, I plan to publish independently before the end of next year.

Meet Bear
Bear Phillips (he/ him) was an artist and designer for 30 years before giving it up, at the height of his career, to become a sex worker. He is a trauma-informed bodyworker and an intimacy, dating and relationship coach. As a coach, he works primarily with men around questions of masculinity, misogyny, and patriarchy (and how these impact our most intimate relationships). He has been involved in various forms of personal development for more than half his life, with a training in psychotherapy, and recently completed the year-long Compassionate Inquiry Professional Training with Dr Gabor Maté. In his previous life, Bear was an internationally exhibited contemporary artist, an educator, and an academic with a Master’s in Research & Cultural Studies. This is his first book.
