    About this ebook

    Andre captures the essence of his real-life experiences. Captivating his readers, having them on the edge of their seats, wondering where the next adventure will take them. Full of impeccable detail and shake your head moments. Catching yourself gasping in disbelief that such things could happen. This is a book you're not going to be able to put down if you love a good page turner.

    Laura Bergren #1 Best-selling Author Of the book Revamped

    Racy, raunchy and in some parts downright laugh-out-loud funny. Filled with crazy anecdotes. This may be one of the dirtiest self-help books out there. I couldn't put it down.

    Ian Dingwall

    So captivating! It is the type of book, you can't put down. I read it in one sitting. Amazing storyteller.

      This is both a brief summary of the book and about the author.

      Andre A. Dupuis is just an average guy living an average life. He was in his forties when he learned how wonderful life can be. At the beginning of this book, he had low self-esteem and no confidence. As time went on, he learned some of the tools needed to help build both self-esteem and confidence.

      The stories in this book are of a sexual nature, but are the stories that helped make him who he is today. The tools he speaks of are described in this book. Some are subtle, and others are bold. The stories he lived through are entertaining and humorous. When he started writing this book. It was about the humorous stories he had lived through. Then he realized that there were a lot of life lessons that can help people live a better life. He did not write the book as a self-help book, but it can easily be seen as one. Enjoy and have fun.

      Like he mentions in the book. If he can make one person see the glass half full, as opposed to half empty, the book will be a success.

      Introduction

      In this book, you will learn the difference between the glass being half-empty and the glass being half-full. Where a positive mental attitude can take you to summits that can be reached when you like who you are. When you have good self-esteem.

      The sky is the limit.

      I will be using a word I find to be very descriptive: Oye. I love this word because you can use it to describe various situations. If you use it once, it's like Oh…okay. If you use it twice, Oyeoye, it's more like Really? The best part is that you can also use it three times: Oyeoyeoye. You say it in an unbelievable way like Is this for real? I use this word in everyday chats with people. It's descriptive and fun to use.

      I also have another thing that I say a lot (to people I have explained the meaning to): red car, blue car. Red car, blue car means that we all see things differently. A lot of people tell me I look like Bruce Willis. My ex-wife was with me for fifteen years, and she thinks I look like Rick Harrison from Pawn Stars. That kinda proves that we all see things differently. I look in the mirror, and I don't see Bruce Willis. That's why they sell red cars and blue cars. I like blue, and you like red. So if you read me saying this, you will know what I mean.

      Before my marriage, I used to think that oral sex was when you were talking about sex. Boy, did I have a lot to learn. It was quite a while after my divorce that I learned that oral sex was not talking about it, but using your mouth to do it. It wasn't that I didn't do oral, but I just didn't know it had a name. I am French, you know. I learned to speak English when I was nine years old. I was past the nursery rhyme stage by then. There are many English words or expressions I have never heard. I use the I'm French, you know excuse for a lot of different situations. I'm going to use the I'm French, you know excuse for the fact that I didn't know what oral sex was.

      This book is somewhat biographical. It's not a story about my whole life. The first ten years after my divorce were the years when I made up for the years I missed out on while I was in my twenties. I'm just an average guy with a few stories to tell. I'm thirty pounds overweight and bald. People tell me I look like Bruce Willis all the time. That's me.

      I have this restaurant that I frequent still today, The Mic Mac Tavern. The owner's father developed his own steak spice, and it's like no other. The steaks there are to die for, and the portions are generous. You don't leave there hungry. I went there for breakfast every weekend up until I moved to Fort McMurray. I would show up there every weekend with a different woman in tow. I was on first-name basis with all the staff there as well as the owner. Best steaks in Halifax.

      I will be talking about sexual experiences I have lived through. We all experience pleasure when we are having sex, but the reason I am writing this book is because of the entertaining stories that led to the act. These stories are real and not from my imagination or fictional. I will be using the f bomb a lot, but I will be using it as a verb. Not as a cussword. After all, when you have sex with a stranger, you're not making love. You're fucking.

      I will be talking about the party side of my life and drug use that led to some of these experiences. The reason I feel comfortable talking about that part of my life is simply because I have never had the addiction that most people experience when they do cocaine, Ecstasy, or MDMA. I suppose I am fortunate that the drugs have never taken control of my life. I used drugs to have fun, for the same reason people drink. To escape reality for a few hours or a few days. Reality is always there waiting for your return, nonetheless.

      When I met my wife, I was twenty-seven years old, and I could count on two hands how many women I had sex with. I was shy and quiet. I would go to bars and see beautiful women, and I was too shy to approach them. Too scared to embarrass myself. Never really sure what I would say. I had no self-confidence. I would go home and masturbate, thinking about them, instead of talking to them and trying to bring them home with me. I saw the glass half-empty.

      I was forty-one years old when I got divorced. Boy, I would have never dreamed of the adventures the future had in store for me. It didn't happen overnight, but I slowly broke out of the bubble I had created around myself. The lack of confidence. The low self-esteem. Once I broke out of that bubble, I would have to say I have been with over two hundred women since. The glass is definitely half-full now. I am having a much better life.

      The difference between me before I met my wife and me today is that I like the person I have become. I am a good person. I do right by others. I treat people with respect, and I find the humor in simple things. I am honest and truthful. Those traits make it easy for me to be a confident person. I am confident, not arrogant. That confidence shines through in one's personality. As does arrogance. People can easily see the difference between the two. Women are attracted to confident men. Not so much for arrogant ones.

      Chapter 1

      Lack of Self-Confidence

      When I was in my late teens, I had a good friend from school whom I used to hang out with. Kevin and I used to hang out and party all the time. One night we were chatting, and we decided we should go to Cape Breton to go to the clubs there and party. It was a five-hour drive from home. We had decent clubs nearby, but you know how teenagers think. We made arrangements, and the following weekend, off we went. Road trip!

      We got to Sydney and booked a hotel room and got settled in. There was a really big club in Sydney called Smooth Herman's. It was huge. There were two levels and a huge dance floor. We went and danced and partied until closing. We had so much fun that we decided we should come back some other weekend. This time, we were going to go back with the intention of picking up some chicks and maybe getting laid.

      A few weeks later, we went back. This time we were on a mission. We got a room in an old Victorian-style house. It had been converted into a motel. The rooms were spacious and unlike a typical hotel room. We get settled in and later headed to Herman's. We were partying, dancing, and having a time. Near the end of the night, we start chatting with these two girls. They were pretty good-looking. So we're hanging out and chatting after the club closed down. They seemed to like us. They were both attractive, and I would have been
