Synopsis

It has been known by many different names to many different people: Knob, dick, schmuck, tool, percy, John Thomas, the bald headed mouse. It inspires lust, fear, awe and laughter. And yet, it is an object of shame and when engorged, indecency. It can be a pound of flesh or an ounce of wrinkles. It can be used to express both love and hate. It can create life. It can condemn us to death. And it can do wees as well. How can one little flap of sponge and sinew be all these things? You will be surprised how little you know about the skin chimney, because although men may constantly brag and exaggerate about their little chap, they rarely talk about their feelings for it. At last, Richard Herring, reveals the truth about man and his manhood in the 21st Century.

About this title

Review:

"Damn near essential and one of the funniest reads of the year" (Designer Magazine)

"Richard Herring's male answer to the Vagina Monologues is- an impassioned and thoughtful disquisition on masculinity, cultural identity and sexual anthropology. But don't let that put you off; there are still lots of jokes about porridge guns and weeing" (The Observer)

"Funny, humiliating, impassioned and weird in equal parts. If we gave stars, he'd have lots...Splendid!" (The Sunday Times)

"As funny and fascinating for women and is it for men" (The Scotsman)
