An insightful and an educated text on the subject of the male member, masculinity, and sexuality. Clearly and lucidly written. While not agreeing with everything, I appreciate the author's expertise and theories. Some of the points he raises in this book are very fascinating.
Overall, this is a valuable text on the subject. Strongly recommended.
