Werewolf Tips – Focus on the Good Stuff


(Especially The Filthy Good Stuff)

The answer to all the following questions is yes.  Is a werewolf more virile? Does a werewolf crave sex more?  Is a werewolf more “animalistic” in bed?  Are werewolves more sexually attractive than non-werewolves?

Yes, yes, yes and yup!

The sex in your relationship is either going to be the best you’ve ever had or it’s going to be the deal-breaker that ends your relationship.  Not everyone enjoys that kind of savage, beast-like, mad rabid coupling with someone whose very odor can make you weak in the knees.  Not everyone wants to be ravished by a lover, taken like a predator takes its prey.  Sex with a werewolf is very powerful and if you don’t enjoy it, or don’t stay faithful, the relationship is probably not going to work out.

But if you do enjoy it…let’s just say it’s one of the perks.

Werewolf Tips – Keep Up Appearances

You and your werewolf lover need to keep his/her lycanthropy a secret. As a werewolf, your lover is in danger of being abducted and killed by many different people, including government researchers, vengeful werewolf hunters, maladjusted “Fur Chasers” (people who want to trap and steal the blood of werewolves to contract lycanthropy themselves), even the occasional vampire, in case your lover gets turned on by pale crybabies with no upper body toning.  You both need to work together to hide the truth of your lover’s condition, just in case anyone is suspicious.  Here are a few tips to help you keep that lycanthropy on the downlow:

“He’s on his way” – Since your lover will need to be locked away on those transformation nights, you’ll be going out alone from time to time.  If anyone’s paying attention, they might notice that you’re always alone around those full moons.  To throw them off the scent, you could act as if your lover will be arriving “any minute now,” and then at the last minute claim to have gotten a text saying he/she had to cancel.  On those transformation nights when you stay in, you could spend the evening updating your lover’s Facebook page or Twitter feed just to make it look like he/she didn’t spend the evening strapped to an intricate restraint system behind a steel door.  Whatever you can do to throw them off the scent, it’ll be a big help.

Get Used To Long Shopping Trips – You’re going to be doing some pretty odd shopping for your werewolf lover, and you’d do well not to buy everything at the same Wal-Mart.  If a werewolf hunter spots you at checkout with polyester straps and clamps for a restraint system, as well as 50 pounds of raw red meat and several cans of industrial strength pet deodorizer, some red flags are going to go up.  Make a few stops at a few different stores and no one will be the wiser.

Stay Alert – The best plan is to keep your eyes and ears open. If you see someone lingering outside your home on the night’s of your lover’s transformations, or if a stranger starts asking you probing questions about your lover, you might have a werewolf hunter on your hands.  Speak up earlier so you can work together to take action.

The Werewolf’s Guide to Life by Ritch Duncan and Bob Powers - Excerpt

Have you been attached by a wolflike creature in the last thirty days? Was it after the sun had set and under a full moon? Well, there’s a very good chance you were bitten by a werewolf and you now have less than a month before the full moon returns and with it your first transformation into a savage, bloodthirsty beast.

Werewolf Tips – Stand By Your Lycan

Being a werewolf is no picnic.  It’s akin to having a serious, chronic disease that needs to be managed and considered at all times.  Except when this chronic disease gets out of hand, it’s fatal to other people.

Your werewolf lover is going to go through some dark, depressing moods.  He or she will wonder if all the struggle to keep from getting loose is worth it, whether society, and you, would be better off if your lover simply went the suicide route.  You need to make clear that not only can you both manage your lover’s lycanthropy, but that you want to manage it.  That you need your lover to stick around, to be your partner, that you would endure ten times the hassle you have to endure if it meant five more minutes of the two of you being together.

And make no mistake, it’s going to be hard on you too.  You’ll be asking “why us?” just as much as your lover’s asking “why me?”  Many partners of werewolves will tell you that even though it’s the lycanthrope who can turn into a 300 pound rampaging beast with colossal strength, it’s the lycanthrope’s partner who usually ends up being the strong one in the relationship.

Helpful Tips For Living With A Werewolf

Apparently, zombies and vampires aren’t the only things present this Halloween. We’ve heard that werewolves are out too.  And they’re taking advantage of being able to roam about freely and looking for love. Hey, everyone needs a break from the zombie apocalypse.

We can’t help who we fall in love with.  I mean, sure, we could help it a little if we quit drinking, but even then, the heart wants what it wants. Sometimes, it wants a werewolf.

Whether your significant other was a werewolf when you met this Halloween, or he or she recently got bitten while out Trick or Treating, you’re going to have to make some very specific adjustments to your relationship and your lifestyle.  The good news is living with and loving a werewolf doesn’t have to be a gladiator fight, in fact, it’s very doable, and if you’re both careful you can have a long, happy life together.

We will be posting several helpful tips from the werewolf experts themselves, Ritch Duncan and Bob Powers.  Hopefully, these will make your love affair as happy and healthy as it is hairy.

1. Communication Is Key!

Your Werewolf lover changes into his/her wild state three times per month, on the night of the full moon and the nights before and after.

When a werewolf does this, he/she must be adequately restrained, in a secure saferoom if possible, to keep from harming you or anyone else. You and your werewolf need to be crystal clear about that transformation schedule, and you both need to be on the same page about where and how that transformation is going to go down.  If a werewolf husband tells his wife he transforms in the basement and he says, “Stay out of the basement on Monday Tuesday and Wednesday,” then STAY OUT OF THE BASEMENT ON MONDAY TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY!!!  There can never be too much reiteration of the logistics of transformation when you’re living with a werewolf, because there is very little room for error. And in case there is any lingering confusion about when exactly you will be transforming into a savage bloodthirsty beast, fear not iPhone users, there’s an app for that.

On those non-transformation days, your werewolf should give you a tour and demonstration of his/her saferoom and restraint system, so you can know exactly what’s preventing you from being torn apart by the one you love, and you’ll be hopefully be able to tell in advance if there’s a malfunction.

Secrets are killers.  Your werewolf lover should know that he/she cannot push you away when it comes to the logistics of transformation.

If you feel that your werewolf lover is not being open, then nag, harp, ballbreak and irritate your lover until you’ve made clear that you will not be kept out of the loop!  It’s a matter of life or death.
