4.0 out of 5 stars Good Conversation Starter, July 27, 2001

I bought this as a gag gift for someone else, and decided to keep it for my own collection. It's amazing how quickly people will pick it up - usually in disbelief and laughing out loud. The book's got tons of pictures, hilarious captions and a few stories. And it's all on this one little (or big!) thing. It'll definitely have you laughing out loud.

5.0 out of 5 stars Who knew?, November 4, 2004

Linda Galvin "Linda" (Newton, MA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Penis Book (Hardcover)

What a fun gift I received! At first I was shocked when I saw the title, but all it took was a few pages and I was hooked. I may be a grandma, but I'm no fogey and this book is definitely more fun than candy and flowers. I loved the interview with the lady who works on the "hopping penis" assembly line. I couldn't believe what they do with foreskins after they cut them off. So what if I'll never understand why anybody would pierce their penis, I learned a lot about the subject. And we loved the guy who posed for the jockstrap story. I'm going to buy a few copies for my friends. (If I pass my copy around, I'll never get it back.)
