Book: Talking Cock

Review:

'Man's answer to the Vagina Monologues' The Guardian 'Richard Herring's male answer to the Vagina Monologues is... an impassioned and thoughtful disquisition on masculinity, cultural identity and sexual anthropology. But don't let that put you off; there are still lots of jokes about porridge guns and weeing.'

Review:

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 was able to provide the answers to his readers based on how straight men, gay men and women responded. He also reported on comments people made regarding each question on the survey. Some were priceless.

I was pleased with the way he handled the gay issue, realizing gay men do not "look" at their cocks in the same way heterosexual men do.

He delved into many subjects such as the issue of monogamy, circumcision, the history of the penis and the attitudes of the cock over the ages, masturbation (including the wild items and places guys will do it), impotency, STDs, size, group sex, and the interesting question of what makes a man a man.

One interesting survey result (granted this was unscientific...only people who knew of his web site and voluntarily gave info) indicated just fewer than 70% of men who took the survey were identified as heterosexual. The rest 30% were bi or gay. Much higher percentage that the 10% which is considered by some.
