From the Publisher

Upright Man reconnects man to the power of his penis. The penis is one of nature's greatest gifts; a veritable magic wand, ingeniously engineered to give pleasure, to get pleasure, and to plant the seeds of future generations. The penis does it all. The penis transcends its physiological functions and anatomical characteristics. It lives in myths, legends, dreams and fantasies. It has been praised and vilified, feared and revered, worshipped, envied and scorned. Our relationship to our penis defines the kind of men we are. We act the way we do because an erect penis stands as a statement of our masculinity. When fully erect, the penis vibrates with energy; it demands attention and we swell with pride because it makes us feel bigger, stronger and virile. From the moment the first man stood upright, the erect penis has been a sign of power. Upright Man celebrates the power of the penis and throws off the fig leaf that has covered our penis for thousands of years. That same fig leaf also hid our worst fear, the fear of impotence, a fear we rightfully dreaded because we knew it would take away the power of our penis. At long last, at the beginning of the new millennium, the problem of impotence has been solved. The author puts the information in perspective by relating his own struggle with impotence and how he found solutions that insured his own sense of what it means to be a man, an Upright Man.

This review is from: Upright Man (Paperback)

I have reviewed and read this book several times and have seen it created from its inception. Eugene Shaipro has indeed "...a refreshingly unique twist" which eminates from his genuine nature.

This book is informative, full of wit, every Man and Woman should read it and find out how to connect to this power Eugene exposes in the Upright Man.

4.0 out of 5 stars Man let's down his fig leaf, at last., February 25, 2000

This review is from: Upright Man (Paperback)

Reading Upright Man was informative and fun. It is sympathetic and descriptive to the reality of life. Self help books are often dry, and although their purpose it to provide knowledge and insight, they often don't touch the reader.The wit and personal anecdotes make this book an intimate experience. An INSIGHTFUL read for both MEN and WOMEN.
