Stuffed with plenty of insights and curious asides this book bares more than just penises, and the thoughts and obsessions of them men who are attached to them. The emphasis was on comfort and openly discussing bodies and manhood, rather than any pressure to show off the penis as a glorious, huge presence, and each man was kept anonymous while sharing their stories. In the summer it was fine, but in the winter I was very anxious to keep the heating up high for people. She also interviewed them about their feeling and attitude about their relationship with their own penis.

While I do get very passionate about men’s health, the truth is that men have done much of this damage to themselves by perpetuating harmful stereotypes and narratives. Recognizing that a disparity exists is the first step, and it must be followed by concrete action steps to fix this. And finally, I found it really delightful to read perspectives from people across the lifespan, all the way up.
