My personal opinion is that Johnny is a genius in this field.
I spent many hours with him and Violet in person this year (back in January) and sat in for a couple days during one of his workshops. He and Violet came over to our house as well, and Erin and I spent a lot of time talking with them.
I hung out with him and some of his students and fellow teachers for a few days when they came to Vegas. Johnny and I had one conversation that lasted nearly 8 hours straight.
I would also find his material hard to believe if I hadn't seen it myself. It's so counter to our social conditioning that it really takes a while to digest and assimilate. Fortunately I had the chance to talk to a woman he approached and to get the straight story from her, which matched everything Johnny had said.
It definitely takes a while to get your head around his ideas. I've been gradually applying some things I learned from him, and so far the results have always been positive. It's been a real eye-opener to see how easy it is to openly communicate with women about sex, for instance.
Johnny's ideas have helped me become much closer with my female friends. I feel I understand women much better than before, especially the social challenges they must deal with. Even my relationship with Erin has improved as a result.
There are definitely some differences between women in how they'll react to these ideas. I find that the most open and aware women react very positively to it, and fortunately those are the types of women I choose to have as friends. I'm not sure how very close-minded women would react.
How well these ideas work in real life depends heavily on your attitude and whether or not you're congruent when you communicate. If you expect a negative reaction, you'll probably manifest one.
I notice that after meeting Johnny and exposing myself to these ideas, I started attracting different types of women into my life, women who would feel very comfortable talking about sex in casual conversation. I imagine that my old beliefs had been repelling such women before. When you drop your shields, new people can flow into your life more easily.
