Release Date: Summer 2006

With Chapter 25: EZ Lovers, Frank151 ponders a topic that is universal and relevant to all–love. “Whether straight, gay, man, or woman, love is a topic that speaks to the human condition,” says Frank Green, Frank151 Editor-In-Chief. This chapter’s Guest Curator is artist Harif “Haculla” Guzman, a recognized expert in the field of EZ Lover studies. “Being an EZ Lover is a skill,” declares Guzman. “It just makes your whole life easier.”

Chapter 25 highlights what it is to be an EZ Lover, examining a diverse selection of people and the different problems they experience with love, giving readers a glimpse of a variety of perspectives and situations involving love. “Being an EZ Lover is being strong, confident, forgiving, and merciless,” explains Harif. “New York is the ultimate city for becoming an EZ Lover, it sharpens up the skills of both sexes and increases their awareness to the potential of love drama. We learn from each other, with women being the superior sexual creatures. It’s all about timing. With this issue we are trying to look at love, life, and relationships—we are trying to educate.”

N.Y.C. Relationships

Words and Illustration: Daze

New York is a strange place to look for and find love. I’m sure I’m not saying anything that many already don’t know but this city is such an insane conglomeration of personalities from all over the country and all over the world, that many have a hard time finding “the one”.

When Being Nice Fails

Words, Photo and Illustration: el Stupido

Man, wow, she looks amazing, those legs, that style, her scent, she’s everything a man wants.  Even feels better than I imagine, her sitting on my lap.  Oh my god, she’s kissing me.  This kind of flirting is priceless, and her lips are so nice.  Damn, those gem stone eyes, I could get lost in there if I’m not careful.  I feel like a monster compared to her – big feet, big head, sandpaper face, black bean eyes.  So this is where it gets tricky, I’m feeling this girl and want to treat her like the princess that she is, but she’s got a million guys on the jock and she tells me about it, “this guy tried to grope me at dinner the other night, gross.”  This type of thing is the regular when you’re awkwardly cute. Trust me, I know.

Girls, since the beginning of time, have held a certain power over men. The power of persuasion via their own personal, and, albeit predominantly physical, attributes. How many men out there have done something stupid because a girl asked them to?
