We Desire to Be Immoral: It Felt Great to Be Human

"What does it truly mean to be 'immoral'? Is it a flaw to be conquered, or an intrinsic part of our humanity? In this bold and expansive work, A.A.

Drawing on vivid historical accounts, cutting-edge psychology, and illuminating insights from the animal kingdom, Castor unravels the stories behind behaviors that societies have labeled as taboo or deviant.

Partylist for Profit: How the Rich Hijacked a System for the Poor

"Once designed to amplify the voices of farmers, laborers, and the underrepresented, the Philippine party-list system has now become the ultimate low-risk, high-reward investment for the well-connected. In Partylist for Profit: How the Rich Hijacked a System for the Poor, A.A. Castor peels back the glossy surface of legislative charity to expose the machinery of legalized profiteering, dynastic expansion, and quiet political laundering. With deadpan seriousness and a dose of dark humor, this book walks readers through the insider's playbook of how to build, fund, and quietly control a party-list with as little accountability—and as much profit—as possible. From choosing a vague advocacy ('OFWs' or 'transport workers,' anyone?) to securing alphabet-friendly names for ballot advantage, to recycling nominees across election cycles and repackaging greed as governance, this is not a how-to—this is a how-it's-done. Perfect for political junkies, aspiring operators, or just disillusioned citizens looking to finally understand why nothing ever changes, Partylist for Profit isn't just a book—it's a public service announcement disguised as satire. Learn how power is bought, maintained, and quietly passed down—not through revolution, but registration. After all, in today's politics, you don't need a platform. You just need a seat."

Why Women Prefer a Cheater

"Why do women stay with men who cheat on them? Why do so many fall for married men, agree to be the mistress, or even enjoy sex more outside of marriage than within it?

It's a deep, unapologetic, and disturbingly honest exploration of female desire—rooted in biology, shaped by history, warped by psychology, and censored by culture.

Instead, it tackles the raw and uncomfortable truths: - That women are biologically drawn to dominant, often unfaithful men. - That affairs can offer psychological escape from the suffocation of modern monogamy. - That cultural shame trains women to silently blame themselves for male betrayal. - That 'loyalty' often rewards women with nothing but resentment and self-erasure.

Castor exposes the brutal realities behind cheating, desire, and the unspoken decisions women make to survive love, betrayal, and expectation.

It's for every woman who's ever been the wife, the other woman, or the one who stopped believing in fairy tales. Forget what society taught you about love. Forget what you were told about loyalty.
