This tell-all book gives a unfiltered first-hand account of the extramarital exploits that men get up to while supposedly traveling for work.

There is a not-so-new, not-so-secret destination where a growing number of American black men are traveling for the kind of sex and freedom they say they can't find with black women. Thousands of unsuspecting women are kissing their men good-bye while they go on "business" trips to Rio where they meet up with some of their friends and have sex every way they can imagine-no strings, no hassles, and no conscience.

Jewel Woods, a social worker and Ph.D. student at the Mandel School of Applied Social Science at Case Western Reserve University and founder of The Renaissance Male Project Inc., investigates this phenomenon. He will not only uncover a secret society of cheating savvy businessmen, but he will attempt to explain why they are going to Brazil to do it.
