Book description
In The Book of the Penis, Maggie Paley seeks to demystify one of the most venerated phenomena of our time. This witty and compelling book dares to uncover the secret world of the most forthright of organs. Revealing truths and insights from ancient Greece to modern day cyberspace, with research ranging from anthropology texts to sex-shop magazines and a Hindu lingham ceremony, the author deftly untangles fact from fiction to debunk numerous popular myths and misconceptions. Interspersed with humorous illustrations, you will also find all you need to know about piercing, tattooing and penis enhancement surgery and much more. Entertaining and informative, without being lewd or crude, this book opens up a universal subject to women and men, gay or straight, in an approachable and light-hearted way. - ground breaking, thought provoking and well researched - certain to develop classic stature
