2.0 out of 5 stars
For Entertainment Purposes ONLY!, April 27, 2000
This review is from: Penis Enlargement Facts and Fallacies: All Men Are Not Created Equal (Paperback)
I truly wanted to like Griffin's text. After a thorough read, however, I found Griffin's text to be far from anything considered academic. The author's "research" is based on his private observations (which I consider invalid without further published data or photos), the solicited accounts of other people with no connection to the medical field ("My friend saw Mr. X's penis when he was next to him in the men's bathroom, and it was big!") which is called hearsay everywhere else, and the author's "private collection" of photos, which is not included in the text. Why, if Griffin felt comfortable publishing basically a big book of pictures, would he not include the several photos in his own collection, even though he makes textual reference to them?
If readers have feelings of inadequacy before they read this text, I feel sorry for them after coming away from even a quick read. Strangely, although the author has not problem spouting off about the size of many of his friends' and celebrities' penises, he never mentions himself; feeling inadequate, Griffin?
The author is very concerned about homosexual issues, but he, once again, is hardly academic in his approach. The author writes in a style that suggests he is not yet comfortable with his sexual identity and really, really needs to assert that he is a bonafide man! His voice could be summarized as this: "I'm no homosexual! I'm a real man, and I do manly things. Let's look at some pictures of naked men and make fun of the guys with small penises!" This text seems like Griffin's way of playing a joke on truly interested readers.
Griffin suggests dangerous and idiotic ways of changing genital size. Vacuum tubes? Stretching? Weights? Surgery? Consult a doctor, NOT Griffin. Unless, of course, you want a stretched, permanently impotent penis. Sexuality is not a joke, and Griffin's suggestions are criminal and dangerous to the healthy functioning of the genitals.
If you like pictures of penises, look here. He has a lot of them, including gross enlargements. My favorite is a picture of a 6" penis enlarged to fit an entire page (this is a large/wide book). Very juvenile. No pictures of "Long Dong Silver" or discussion of his condition of impotence, either. Readers can see an African tribesman with a stretched penis (purported to be 16"), but I doubt the poor thing works anymore, and the photo appears to come from an ancient copy of National Geographic. Griffin includes an obviously doctored photograph of one of his friends, "a true horseman," whose penis would rival Arnold Schwarzenger's forearm in length and girth; cut and paste, anyone? Most of the photos in the text are of poor quality, none better than a photocopy of a photograph.
If you like racial stereotypes, look here. Griffin says blacks have wider (more girth) penises. He says Asians do not have large penises. How nice. Perhaps he can say in future texts that blacks are naturally good dancers and Asians are naturally good at math. These are just stereotypes, not truths. Griffin just has not done enough homework.
If you want a non-serious book that you can read and laugh at with friends, Griffin's text fits the bill. Otherwise, skip it. If you want to read a serious bunch of hearsay on celebrity sizes, take a gander at this text and put it back on the shelf (and don't believe half of it; John Dilinger was not the endowed man he is reputed to be. This rumor was started by the newspaper photo of his corpse, and it is his arm, not his penis that is in the final stages of rigor mortis, holding the sheet up. Do your homework, Griffin).
Be happy with who you are, not how much you are. Live a healthy lifestyle, practice a healthy sexuality (free of repression), and learn to appreciate and love yourself and all the mysteries you hold; follow these simple rules and your self-esteem will grow larger than any penis Griffin can photograph and enlarge. Our brains are ultimately the sex organs, and we are all blessed in one way or another. You might not be able to get bigger, but you certainly can be better!

1.0 out of 5 stars
Waste of money, December 4, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Penis Enlargement Facts and Fallacies: All Men Are Not Created Equal (Paperback)
You can find more variety and more current information and support online, wihtout the obsession with abnormally large penises. The best site is Tom Hubbard's Practical Penis Enlargement (do a Yahoo search). He's also got links to sites where guys discuss small penis issues, as well as a forum for discussing technique and progress with others. Don't fall for the vacuum pump and surgery hype!

2.0 out of 5 stars
Mediocre, July 2, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Penis Enlargement Facts and Fallacies: All Men Are Not Created Equal (Paperback)
The message of the book is this: A big penis is everything. Without a big penis, you're less than a real man.The book is filled with a lot of pseudoscience and useless techniques. The book fails to mention about how use of the penis pump can result in a serious medical condition. The part about the legendary endowments of famous men makes the book mildly amusing to read.
