While there were a few quotes that reinforces “traditional manhood” concepts, they were shared by men who had their penises photographed a few minutes earlier and were sharing some of their deepest and darkest moments in their lives. What makes the Laura Dodsworth books different, is that there is a personal story that goes with each photograph, where they share their story or feelings about their penis.

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.Get it for the photos, but read it for the funny, the shocking, and the vulnerable moments we might otherwise never see.

It is important that penis owners grow up feeling comfortable with the penis they have, and for them to understand that every penis is different. The million copy bestseller, A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara, is an immensely powerful and heartbreaking novel of brotherly love and. Laura Dodsworth is an author, journalist, photographer and commentator and has been described as a ‘latter-day punchy Cassandra’ and a ‘Slayer of Taboos’. In everything I do I desire to connect deeply with people, practise integrity, and interpret and present their stories with truth and memorable images.
