## Description

"The book left me feeling exhilarated and reflective." - Mark Harris, author of Men, Love and Birth "This could be my favorite book of all time." - Jenny McCarthy, actress and TV/radio host "A wonderful, enlightening and humanising book about men." - Dr Anand Patel, specialist in sexual medicine " Manhood: The Bare Reality provides an important contribution to the emotional and physical exploration of men and masculinities. Intimate interviews offer insight into how men navigate sex, desire, hopes and anxieties; these diverse inner lives are complemented with images that document equally diverse bodies. Read it to understand men better, both inside and out." - Dr Joseph Gelfer, researcher of men and masculinities 100 men bare all in a collection of photographs and interviews about manhood and 'manhood'. These days we are all less bound by gender and traditional roles, but is there more confusion about what being a man means? From veteran to vicar, from porn addict to prostate cancer survivor, men from all walks of life share honest reflections about their bodies, sexuality, relationships, fatherhood, work and health in this pioneering and unique book. Just as Bare Reality: 100 women, their breasts, their stories presented the un-airbrushed truth about breasts for women, Manhood: The Bare Reality shows us the spectrum of 'normal', revealing men's penises and bodies in all their diversity and glory, dispelling body image anxiety and myths. Sensitive and compassionate, Manhood will surprise you and reassure you. It may even make you reconsider what you think you know about men, their bodies and masculinity.

Review: A truly enlightening read for men and women alike. - I'm not even halfway through this book but I'm quite happy to give it five stars! To read about these men's relationships with modern masculinity, other people, friends, lovers and family, as well as with their own bodies, is a truly enlightening look into what it is to be a man in the 21st century. I would urge anyone reading this review to look past the 'eww!' factor that a book containing 100 pictures of full frontal male nudity, and actually read what these men have to say. Some of them will make you laugh, some will make you cry. If you are a woman, some of it will make you question your beliefs and perceptions about the inner world of men, and of how certain ideologies portray us. If you are a man, all of it will make you realise that no matter how you feel about your body, and what it is to be a man, that you are not alone. Laura Dodsworth, I salute you! Thank you for giving us such a wonderfully eye-opening book!
Review: Very good interesting book - Very interesting to read how men feel about their 'manhood'. What a fascinating range of both pictorial and written views of the penis. I felt sad about the way some men have been victimised either by parents or friends or even lovers. As a woman, I wonder if women feel the same about their 'lady bits'? I know this writer has done a book about breasts, but would she consider another book about women's relationship with their most intimate parts? Good value for money.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Taboo
*by R***H on 21 July 2017*

A refreshing approach to dealing with a fairly taboo subject, with a wide variety of flaccid penises (penii?!) presented, along with the views of their owners. In criticism, compared with Laura's previous work on women's breasts, the format & presentation of this book is not so polished - paperback book, slightly smaller size & the photos seem more like snaps, rather than the well presented photos in her previous work - these all tend to make it feel a less open presentation. Also, the text is not so structured as the women's contribution, which I think is a disappointment. There could well be an argument for the presentation of an erect penis photo alongside the flaccid one, given that this is a normal state for the penis; perhaps there is too much taboo around this - as well as the censors pen, to make it a viable proposition though. Similarly to the breast book, the participants seem to be largely white & British? Contributions from other nationalities, cultures & people of colour would be desirable. Good, but could be more bold!
