Men who know what they want. Men who speak little, act decisively, and burn with a hunger that comes from deep within.In Man Needs, Manuel García delves into the raw energy of male desire - not polished, not idealized, but lived. These nine stories unfold in the real world: apartments that smell of coffee and sweat, dim bars, workshops, and bedrooms where tension becomes touch and touch becomes power. This is eroticism rooted in truth - where need, not fantasy, drives the encounter."Man Needs," the story that gives the book its title, begins with a return - not to passion, but to permanence. Damien arrives at Didier's house with a suitcase and a question: what does it mean to belong? Between them, the air is thick with everything that has already been done, and everything still unsaid. A conversation turns into an embrace, an embrace into surrender. In the quiet after, a man's breath fills the space - heavy, sure, alive.García writes with a masculine clarity that strips away the ornamental and leaves only what matters: the smell of skin, the tension before a touch, the unspoken truth of wanting another man.In Man Needs, desire is not decoration - it is survival, ritual, and release.When the last story ends, what remains is silence - and the memory of a body that still lingers in the dark.
