Whether you own one or are close with someone who does, it's pretty easy to recognize the importance of the penis. But in fact there is next to no reliable information on nearly every man's and many women's favorite little friend. Now, in Dick, two women doctors boldly provide readers with a much-needed handbook that guides, educates, and dispels all the common misconceptions about the penis. In open and direct language interspersed with humorous word play and funny anecdotes, Drs. Michele Moore and Caroline de Costa thoroughly describe the anatomy, functions, proper hygiene, safety, and effective handling of the most friendly male appendage. Other key topics include: size (does it matter?), condoms, sex, premature ejaculation, as well as infections, infertility, injuries, and cancer. Written for both men and women, young and old, Dick promises to teach, entertain, and demystify for the benefit of everyone involved. Including real-life stories taken from the authors' own medical practices, Dick offers a comprehensive, practical, and entertaining guide to the penis--and all its ups and downs.

This book does not have substantial support for the comments made about circumcision, and there isn't any evidence out there to support it, or it has been disproven. This book is 100% wrong about circumcision! I am very disappointed with the author.
Women telling men how to enjoy men?????:
Boo. The last person with whom I wish to speak about sex is a woman. Even straight men talk with other men. How many lesbians would tolerate a book written for them by a man about women? You KNOW that wouldn't go over. She should talk about her own genetalia & periods and stuff lesbians are interested in and actually know about. Even Straight women prefer a female gynecologist
straightforward information that's a bit jokey:
The last few reviewers seem to be missing the point (no pun intended) a bit. This is a book of health information that's up to date and matter of fact but written in a light kind of way that makes for easy reading and understanding. I read it first in its Spanish edition then got it for my British boyfriend - there were a few things in it he didn't know...It translates well into Spanish (name: Pene) Id really recommend it fo teenagers and sex education for older teens, a field I work in. Not quite five... more info
