Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

"It’s hard to imagine something tinier than a Chihuahua can stir up so many emotions, escapades, steamy page-turners, phone sex businesses, visits to the shrinks, babies, dirty jokes…" muses Cohen in the opening to his naughty little giftbook. It’s not hard to imagine, however, the penis inspiring such an inane homage as this, which waxes poetic on the queer penis ("a precocious pickle") vs. the straight penis ("a born comparison shopper"); estimates the amount of semen an average male ejaculates over a 45-year period (30-50 quarts); reveals urinal etiquette ("Shake no more than three times"); lists the tests condom manufacturers perform on their products (including "The Shocker" and "The Wet Dream") and asks men to reflect on what would happen if they didn’t have a penis ("What would I scratch?" wonders Billy from Kenosha). Goofy photos, trivia tidbits, no-brainer sex tips and off-color jokes round out a silly little book that has gag gift written all over it.

4.0 out of 5 stars This Book Really Grows On You, Sep 1 2001

Chad Spivak (North Miami Beach, Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Penis Book (Hardcover)

This is the perfect coffee table book. Not only will it be a conversation piece, but it will be the life of any party with its humor.

Loaded with "read between the lines" type humor, THE PENIS BOOK proves to be quite insightful, answering some questions that you were always too afraid to ask. From ancient Japanese fertility rituals to modern-day circumcisions, this book has it all. Hilarious pictures, funny captions, and a few entertaining stories grace the pages of this short book. It is very easy to read, and on the whole, the book is designed nicely.

THE PENIS BOOK is done very tastefully, and you can't help but be intrigued by the incredible facts presented. It is a very entertaining read that is sure to make you laugh out loud.

This review is from: The Penis Book (Hardcover)

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.
