When it comes to pleasure, size doesn't matter; as we all know it s quality, not quantity, that counts. But let's admit it: a big penis is undeniably compelling. Big shoulders, big lapels, and big hair may come and go, but the big penis never goes out of fashion. With those possessing more than 8 inches (20 cm) making up less than 2% of the world's population, this rare accessory will always fascinate.
In The Big Penis Book we explore the centuries-old fascination with the large phallus, a fascination common to men and women alike. This hefty book is profusely illustrated with over 400 historic photos of spectacular male endowments, including rare photos of the legendary John Holmes. The majority of the photographs are from the 1970s, when the sexual revolution first freed photographers to depict the male entirely nude. Photographers include Bob Mizer of Athletic Model Guild, David Hurles of Old Reliable, Colt, Falcon, Sierra Domino, Third World, and Champion Studios, with each of these iconic photographers interviewed or profiled, along with information about each of their models. And if this isn t enough, the book closes with a special surprise comparable to the Guinness Book of Records Norma Stitz featured in The Big Book of Breasts! Can you guess what body part Dian is dissecting next?

Summary: The Penis and the Human Psyche
Comment: I think this is a fascinating book celebrating the endowments of famous and not so famous men from the 60s, 70s and 80s.(Everything from Bob Mizer's Athletic Models Guild to COLT to Falcon to Old Reliable).
In addition to this book being a visual treat, it is a fun read that offers information and a perspective of the time and context in which these photos were taken.
I feel that the text and layout places this book above being pornography or being viewed as just a vehicle to satisfy a juvenile interest.
The book arrived in excellent condition. Though, there is a cut on the back of the book film covering which I suspect was a shipping mishap in the warehouse.

Summary: Worked for me...indirectly
Comment: Ok, I'm straight but I bought this for my lady-friend. I figured she could use a book like this sort of the way I use the "BIG BOOK of BREASTS". It worked for me, heck whatever it takes right?

Summary: Bigger Is Better
Comment: I'm a straight woman and I LOVE this book! I don't care if the men featured seem gay, a penis is a penis. Awesome book, awesome photography.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Overpriced but amusing
Comment: As a gay man, yes, I have a penis fascination. And having come of age in the 70s-80s, I'm familiar with the studios that provided most of these pictures. But after having my porn-nostalgia moment and looking and page-after-page of phalluses - most attached to unattractive men - I came to find this book more funny than erotic. The poses and the photographic settings of these pictures are really quaint by today's standards, or just downright scary and creepy, if you think about it. It's an amusing archive of gay porn from the 30s to the 80s.
The book itself is way overpriced for what it is. The editorial content is superfluous, and sometimes inaccurate. And the mylar cover was damaged in shipping as well. Wait for this book to go on discount.

Summary: Big Book, Big Subject
