Testicles/Penis
The Menstuff® library lists pertinent books on testicles and
testicular cancer. Many of the books are either out-of-print or are
too technical and too expensive (from $74 to $160. They are obviously
intense medical documents for the urologic oncologist and not for
personal consumption. They have some interesting information on
epidemiological, diagnostic, and therapeutic management to facilitate
optimal treatment of testicular or penile cancers. They address
testicular cancer, including the pathology of germ-cell cancers of
the testes; diagnostic approaches and surgical management of
testicular cancer; fertility and sexual function in testicular cancer
management; and future directions in testicular cancer. See also

Cohen, Joseph, The Penis Book. Think you
know everything about penises? When I told my mother that I was
writing a book about penises, she replied: "Why would anyone want
to write about peanuts?" Now that the book is finished,
autographed and FedEx'd to Mom, it should be clear that Jimmy
Carter and I have very little in common. This book celebrates the
male member like nothing else before. So -- whether you're male,
female, straight or gay -- get ready to learn, laugh and be
downright titillated. Bet you don't know what hospitals do with
foreskins once they've been snipped away. How fortunes were made
in the war against wet dreams. The one song you should never
whistle at a urinal. Or what life's really like working on a
"hopping penis" assembly line. The book has the answers to all of
these questions and many more. From ancient Japanese fertility
rituals to the lowdown on how smoking can trigger impotency, this
book is always fascinating. It's terrific looking, too. With its
remarkable photos, drawings and slick art direction, It is an
incredible gift-giving book. I still don't know how the publisher
can offer a hardcover book like this for under ten dollars...and
that's before Amazon's discount! Do you have a penis? Want one?
Love them? Hate them? Whatever you check off, this book has
something for you. Konemann; 1999, ISBN: 3829021860 Buy

Danielou, Alain, The
Phallus : Sacred Symbol of Male Creative Power Beginning with
an overview of the symbolism of creative forces in general, The
Phallus first examines the representation of male fertility in
such forms as the menhirs or standing stones of prehistoric
Europe; the Mahalinga and Svayambhu of India; and the ancient
Greek Omphalos. The second part of the book surveys the presence
of ithyphallic gods in archaic shamanistic religions (the Lord of
the Animals), the Greek pantheon (Hermes, Priapus), and the Hindu
deities (Ardhanarishvara, the androgyne). Danielou also explores
the role of Shaivist and Dionysian initiatory rites in bringing
men into communion with the creative forces of life. Illustrated
throughout with photographs and line drawings of European and
Indian art, The Phallus celebrates the expression of the masculine
in the religious traditions of East and West. Phallic imagery, in
one form or another, may be found in the artistic traditions of
virtually every world culture since prehistoric times. Alain
Danielou here unveils the religious impulse underlying art that at
first glance seems to have no purpose beyond the erotic. Inner

Giles, Fiona, ed., Dick for a Day: What
Would You Do if You Had One?. While not really a book directed
to men, versus at men, this review offers a look into the thoughts
of a small group of women writers - feminists, scholars,
performers and artists. Left with this outrageous question to
celebrated women, the results are serious, humorous and downright
strange. What's most exciting is that every man will be able to
ponder his own response - and discover the basis for arguments,
fantasies and gender benders of the most provocative kind.

Gore, Margaret, The Penis Book : An Owner's
Manual. You would think that the mythology of male sexuality
is a thing of the past, that most men know that from time to time
their penises won't achieve or sustain erections, and that guys
have just as much right as women to occasionally not be in the
mood. But images of hyperdrive masculinity still exist in popular
culture, and as long as guys take them to heart, they'll continue
to freak out over the smallest malfunctions. Thus, The Penis Book
is a comfort object, a small and easily concealable guide to how
the penis works and why it occasionally doesn't, how men can
effectively prevent impregnating their partners, and how to deal
with the real problems that occur, including STDs. Allen &

Paley, Maggie and Sergio
Ruzzier(Illustrator), The Book of the Penis. Penis. Penis,
penis, penis. Say the word penis often enough and not only will
you no longer choke on it, but you may even be able to write a
report about the male member that gets straight to the point.
Novelist Paley (Bad Manners, 1985) is right: Once the subject
becomes the male sexual organ, every phrase, every word, is a
double entendre. Nevertheless, she plunges ahead (there it is
again) with a book that explores physiology (size matters, at
least as evidenced by the ruler and the fig leaf on the
coverdesigned to lift and reveal Michelangelo's vision of David's
penis), history, penis worship, and penises in art, literature,
movies, and fashion. There are also stomach-churning reports on
what men in various cultures (including our own) do or allow to be
done to their genitals, ranging from circumcision and castration
to piercings, inserts, and tattoos. A section called ``The Secret
Life of Men'' reports on masturbation, entertainment, products
(including, of course, Viagra), and an epilogue lists men famous
for their size and/or skill, including presidents, movie and
sports stars, and Gregor Rasputin. A series of ``Penis
Interviews'' offers intimate and sometimes thoughtful observations
from transsexuals, a porn star, and a male hustler. There are
wonderful bits of esoteric erotica, including a description of the
fashionable Japanese penis package, the ``Nippon Slip-on,'' and
activist Eldridge Cleaver's failed effort to reintroduce the
codpiece to American fashion. The author is often shadowed by a
male friend, Enrique, who serves as a valuable truth versus
baloney meter in evaluating the information she collects. Creative
black-and-white illustrations serve as chapter headings. Spirited,
filled with fact and some fancy, emphasizing the penis's power to
drive male behavior but designed to make both women and men more
comfortable with the dreaded wordand perhaps even the
actualitypenis. Grove Press; ISBN: 0802136931 (Paperback -

Ryan, George, Reclaiming Male
Sexuality: A guide to potency, vitality and prowess.
If you have been told impotence is "all in your mind," you owe
yourself a second opinion. Generally the cause is physical and
nearly all cases can be cured. This is the only book that helps
the reader choose the treatment most appropriate to his case. This
book is based on the latest research on conventional medical
treatements, holistic treatments, nutritional and herbal remedies,
and lifestle and attitude modifications. It brings these new cures
into the open. Men who try to deny their impotence problems lose
big, because cures are so readily available today. After reading
this book, no one will feel dumb and helpless in the doctor's
office. No man should have to give up sexual performance against
his will, and this book gives every man hope and concrete
solutions. M Evans & Co, 1997,

Stewart, Steve, Penis Puns, Jokes &
One-Liners: A movie quote book. In the opening scene of
Reservoir Dogs, director and actor Quentin Tarantino
explains to Harvey Keitel and Eddie Bunker his theory about the
son "Like a Virgin." He says, "It's a metaphor for big
dicks...I'm talkin' dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick,
dick." And so is everyone else these days - especially in the
movies. I'm not sure why, but everyone seems to love putting down
the penis, berating the boner, insulting the sausage, and well,
you get the point. Boobs, butts and occasionally beavers are all
put-down on a regular basis in the movies as well, but it's the
penis that stands out from the crowd. And most of the barbs are
about one thing - size. Of course, blow jobs, masturbation,
erections, impotence and premature ejaculation are all part and
parcel of penis repartee and dick discourse, but size - no big
surprise - comes up for examination more often than any other
phallic attribute or activity. Eveyone is talking about penises in
the movices. But not everyone is saying anything you'd want to
repeat or quote. This book attempts to be a collection of penis
puns, jokes and one-liners that are humorous, stand on their own
and are quotable. "A hard quote is good to find." Companion
