A taboo-breaking guide to the male sexual and urinary system, raising awareness of anatomy, upkeep, and the emergencies that can occur throughout a lifetime. When it comes to men and their medical health, age can lead to a distressing lack of discussion. Boyhood curiosity gives way to reticence in adult men, a discomfort in asking questions and sharing insecurities about their own bodies--especially when it comes to the penis. Though highly focused on in art, daily conversations, and even spam emails, the general public's knowledge of the form, function, and evolution of the penis is sorely lacking. This knowledge gap is the inspiration for Wikipenis. With this book, urologist Nicola Mondaini offers men and the women in their lives--mothers, grandmothers, girlfriends, and wives--a learning tool for the healthy and correct care of the male genital system. Four chapters cover childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and old age. Readers can flip to relevant sections to learn about maintenance, diseases, and hazards related to each stage of development. A comprehensive and authoritative handbook, Wikipenis includes information on: Penis structure and function Circumcision and hygiene Effects of smoking, drugs, alcohol consumption, and obesity Sexually transmitted diseases Erectile dysfunction Prostate pathologies Penile cancer Gender dysphoria Piercings Testosterone And more Wikipenis aims to establish a preventative culture from the start, to redesign the relationship between boys and this part of their body--a user's guide that men can consult whenever necessary for a happy and healthy life. "A valuable addition to the world's literature on this important topic." --John P. Mulhall, Director of Male Sexual and Reproductive Medicine, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
