Dick: A User's Guide [Paperback]

Michele C. Moore (Author), Caroline de Costa (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 30, 2003

Whether you own one or are close with someone who does, it's pretty easy to recognize the importance of the penis. But in fact there is next to no reliable information on nearly every man's and many women's favorite little friend. Now, in Dick, two women doctors boldly provide readers with a much-needed handbook that guides, educates, and dispels all the common misconceptions about the penis. In open and direct language interspersed with humorous word play and funny anecdotes, Drs. Michele Moore and Caroline de Costa thoroughly describe the anatomy, functions, proper hygiene, safety, and effective handling of the most friendly male appendage. Other key topics include: size (does it matter?), condoms, sex, premature ejaculation, as well as infections, infertility, injuries, and cancer. Written for both men and women, young and old, Dick promises to teach, entertain, and demystify for the benefit of everyone involved. Including real-life stories taken from the authors' own medical practices, Dick offers a comprehensive, practical, and entertaining guide to the penis—and all its ups and downs.

5.0 out of 5 stars How About That Cover ?, February 4, 2004

By 

Tim Dobinson (Townsville Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dick: A User's Guide (Paperback)

Well well well, I never thought I would enjoy reading a book about the most valued and loved male appendage, but boy was I wrong. While being quite witty throughout, Dick is an informative and easy-reading book that throws light on to a whole range of issues that I (and I think most guys) would not otherwise know or think to ask about . Full marks to the authors for putting together a great read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dick - good for users, owners and health professionals, January 18, 2004

By 

Paul Howat (Cairns, Queensland Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dick: A User's Guide (Paperback)

Although I am a male and a doctor, therefore possessed of a vested interest in the subject, I discovered many things in this book about the penis I was unaware of. Humorous and informative, it makes excellent reading for the 'owner', 'user' and is a also good resource for doctors to recommend for their patients. Subjects are presented sympathetically, and although humour is used it is never at the expense of the (sometimes) unfortunate men in the case histories. The aim is rather to demystify and render the topic less embarrassing for the reader. Serious health issues are encompassed as well more cosmetic issues such as that hoary old chestnut - size! This book is a good antidote to endless spam emails offering penile enlargement which prey on men's insecurity. Congratulations to the authors for providing us with a funny, informative manual on the male member.
