Penis Monologue: A Man's Perspective on The Vagina Monologues - Thought-Provoking Gender Discussion for Book Clubs & Theater Lovers

I'm a straight male who is very interested in gender studies. I was inspired by reading The Vagina Monologues and seeing them performed. My reason for purchasing this book stemmed from the fact that I believe men need to have the same familiarity with and acceptance of their bodies in the same way the Vagina Monologues encourages for women. Unfortunately, this book does not compare, and is not a meaningful response to The Vagina Monologues by any stretch of the imagination.The main annoyance is the use of a different slang term for the penis in nearly every paragraph. It's not funny - it's ridiculous and nauseating.The only redeeming aspects of this book are some interesting facts about the role of penises in various cultures around the world. However, the facts are never treated in much depth in the extremely short chapters. The book's rather skinny bibliography consists mostly of websites, many of them quite dubious (such as Wikipedia).Unfortunately, this is one of the trashiest books I have ever purchased.
