Editorial Review:

The self-proclaimed foremost authority on the penis, Richard Herring decided to stand up for the humble willy, worshipped in ancient times, now consigned to a standing joke. Talking Cock combines answers to questions about sexuality, circumcision, and strange behavior with a deeply researched history, poignant true-life confessions, and insights from the hilarious to the downright obscene.

Investigation Incomplete:

Overall, I felt the book was informative and funny. It was a fun read for sure. He surveyed folks on his web site to ask them a wide variety of questions regarding the cock.

He scores with lots of obvious puns and double entendres (usually noted as such) and a mostly amusing selection of responses from his internet call for... more info

I have never felt better about owning a penis before!:

I suspect that it was mere whim that drew my eye to the spine of this book in a local bookseller's shop, but once I had seen it, I had to buy it. I'm certain I startled more than I few people as I began to read it in the Ikea cafeteria, laughing out loud often and uproariously as I did.
